halesome /ˈheɪls(ə)m /adjective chiefly ScottishWholesome: the friendly pub and halesome fare...- It was porridge of which I feel sure Burns would have approved, when he wrote the line, ‘halesome parritch, chief o' Scotia's food’.
- You are welcome, don't forget to buy me something halesome.
- The sense that porridge is a food of the poor is underlined in Stevenson's Kidnapped, where the miserly Ebenezer Balfour chows down on a bowl of oats, despite his huge wealth, exclaiming: ‘They're fine, halesome food - they're grand food, parritch.’
