Prior to the year 1783, only three sorts of oats had been cultivated in this country. Two of these are not different in appearance; but the one kind which is sown in the later parts of the country, ripens 12 or 16 days earlier than the other; they are known on this account by the name of "hasty oats."3. Arg.3 1956:
The old dish, hasty puddin, consists of oatmeal, suet and a little seasoning cooked in a pan or skillet and served hot. Alternatively the pudding can be "dished" into a pie-dish and left to cool when it sets into a solid mass which will keep good for a long time.
