Does anyone know where you can buy oat groats in the Black Country/West Midlands/Worcester areas for Groaty Puddin's.

They're available on line but if you want to buy locally you could try asking at independent wholefood shops, Holland & Barrett don't carry them.

Just as I thought! no one knows other than the online option which seems a bit pricey on postage making it a non starter
I realized only just recently that I hadn't had groaty puddin' since by childhood, so I suppose that's it then.
Lets see what Floyd has to say about it - see the link

Any Pet shop will sell groats (if they have the demand) no posh food sites years ago :wink:

Most foods sold by pet shops are probably safe, a family friend was a salesman for Spillers and they had to sample the dog & cat foods as part of their training, but the differences in standards between the production of animal feeds and those for human consumption are quite large.

This site might give you some leads.

Weobley might be a bit too far but they might supply somewhere closer to you? You could ask them http://www.survivalwholefoods.co.uk/about.aspx
