Food For Thought - Making Porridge with Erwin James

Series of conversations in which journalist Nina Myskow discovers how attitudes to food affect individual lives. The bags of oats at one prison where Erwin James was an inmate were all stamped 'Canadian pig meal, grade 3'. The porridge was made with water. However, as Erwin explains, adding full cream milk, honey and pine nuts to his own breakfast recipe, they were an important part of his diet and rehabilitation, after a chaotic itinerant lifestyle and living rough as a child.
