Today I fancied cornflakes for a change from my usual porridge, which reminded me of these two 'graces'...
Allegedly English Version:
Lord, grant that we may not be like porridge: stiff, stodgy and hard to stir, but like cornflakes: crisp, fresh and ready to serve.
Allegedly Scottish Version:
Lord, grant that we may not be like cornflakes: lightweight, brittle and cold, but like porridge: warm, comforting and full of goodness.
On the basis that I know more English people than Scots who eat porridge, I'm not sure what this all means...! :-)
