Organic Foods Rude Health is teaming up with Giraffe restaurant group to hold a Gourmet Porridge Contest on 28 November.

To enter simply come up with a breakfast concoction and email hello@rudehealth.com for an application form.

The 10 best entries will be invited to the final cook-off at Giraffe restaurant on the Southbank. The winner will be crowned Rude Health's London Porridge champion 2009 and presented with their prize.

Competitors will be provided with a single porridge pan and stove, and can pick their mixing implement of choice, be that a spoon, spurtle or spon. They have 20 minutes to prove their worth.

In addition, Giraffe will be hosting a junior contest to find London's little Porridge Prince or Princess. A total of 12 junior finalists will be given five minutes to transform a bowl of plain porridge into a breakfast treat.

One of the judges on the day, the 2010 World Porridge Champion – Anna Louise Batchelor– will be demonstrating her Spotted Dick Porridge Pudding. This dish recently won the Speciality category at this year's Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championships in Scotland.
