"Yes," she said, smiling down on me, "I ken fine the distinction between water-brose and ham and eggs."
The Yeoman Adventurer George W. Gough
-
He swept out the water that lay on the floor, took the dryest peats he could find, succeeded with the tinder-box and sulphur-match at the first attempt, lighted a large fire, and made himself some water-brose -- which is not only the most easily cooked of dishes, but is as good as any for a youth of capacity for strong food.
Sir Gibbie George MacDonald 1864
