Brose (Gaelic brothas), a dish sometimes used in Scotland, made by pouring boiling water, milk, or the liquor in which meat has been boiled, on oatmeal, and mixing the ingredients by immediate stirring. Butter may be added, and sweet milk when the brose is made with water. It is kail-brose, water-brose, or beef-brose, according to the liquid used. Athole-brose, a famous Highland cordial, is a compound of honey and whisky.
