Porridge base (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oats

'porridge base' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for oats that I've seen before include "Cereal for porridge" , "A cereal crop" , "Young men sow wild ones" , "Food for horses and Scots (said Dr Johnson)" , "Wild ones are sown in youthful excess" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
