I've no had porridge in years.

Milk, oats, and topped with a spoon of golden syrup.

I’m just surprised this post hasn’t degenerated to having your oats in the morning, there must be something wrong

There is always one who has to drag the thread down ...

Oats & milk, with a light sprinkle of demerara sugar, and topped off with ice cold semi-skimmed milk.
I usually have a bowl full most days, but I'm not Scottish that I know of.

Is it Porridge, or Ready Brek ?

I believe, without looking it up, that those hardy skirt wearing types north of the border, use water and salt only. At least thats what they claim

I have milk with a teaspoon full of black treacle stirred in.

Bacon, toast, fried eggs and sausages. That is how I make it. Sometimes with beans.

None of this silly oats milk microwave syrup nonsense.

1/3rd mug of oats, 1 mug of milk and water (50/50), pinch of salt. Heat in a saucepan, let stand a bit. Add a spoon of Manuka honey and consume greedily

When i lived in Aberdeen it was always full fat milk which was quite sweet and salt and it tasted fine, none of this skimmed milk rubbish !

I use to drink full fat milk and use Half & Half on my cereals, what you call single cream here in the UK. I stopped a few years ago and decided less fat in my diet would be healthier.

Heathens, heathens I say, the lot of you, porridge is only fit for feeding to the pigs!

Civilised folk have toast and marmite.

You are, of course correct, though as we’re 20 mins drive from civilisation we don’t often have them.

Granny used to make an overnight setting type of porridge that you put a splash of milk on in the morning and it sat on top. No idea how she did it (too late now to ask) but it was lovely.

made with milk and a dollop of jam does me.

You know how ‘trendy’ types discovered coffee and gin and made it all complicated? They’ve done it with porridge now too, using special wooden stirring sticks and whatnot.


smoked fish porridge anyone? https://www.goldenspurtle.com/recipes/

50g porridge oats.
5 teaspoons powdered milk.

Stick it in a flask with some boiling water when I get up in the morning.

leave to stand for a couple of hours in the flask.

At brew time add a spoonful of jam or chocolate spread or whatever else is knocking around, and a chopped banana and give it a stir.

Delicious hot porridge with no work, to be eaten wherever I happen to be.

Have that pretty much every day at morning brew time - Yummy.

Readybrek plus powered milk - pour hot water from kettle - stir and eat.

Readybrek is the same as porridge oats - just milled finer.

Remember the advert where the kids had the "Sellafield Glow" from their Readybrek ?

I prefer readybrek to porridge oats.

I fought off readybrek for years - because I thought it was proccesed food - but in fact it is an healthy as porridge.
