is a mixture of oatmeal brose, honey, and whisky. It is traditionally stirred with a silver spoon. Cream is an optional addition, particularly for festive occasions (Davidson 1999). (Wikipedia)
I'd like to try this.

What's a brose? Anything like ambrosia?

That question (the first one anyway) occurred to me as well, hence brose. The brose/ambrosia thing is interesting, I've never noticed it before.
I should say by way of explanation that I am a sassenach.

Yes, I checked, but brose gives no hint as to its composition.

The etymology of brose is lovely and arcane, and ambrosia has nothing to do with it, which I find actually quite pleasing. :)
