What do you put in/on your Porridge (1 Viewer)

[Carpmart]

I eat porridge all the time when at home and almost never when in the Motorhome; it’s just too much faff.

Cinnamon means less sweetness is needed for my pallet, but a variety of toppings are often used. My favourite remains a little golden syrup…

I have porridge for breakfast virtually every day , have done for the last 10 years
Along with a daily portion of Blueberries, Raspberries and occasionally a few Strawberries .

Have low cholesterol surprisingly considering I’m overweight
the daily intake of oats could have something to do with that

 

[Wonders]

First a good amount of apples and blackberries. Then a small amount of porridge and butter bake it in the over.
Crumble

 

[MarionK]

Blueberries or Jam .

I was beginning to think maybe I was the only one that likes jam on porridge. Not that I've had any for ages as trying to shed a few more pounds.

 

[Furry Paws]

Blueberries, Brown Sugar, Cream and sometimes
sliced Banana's

I have friends in Sutherland (very North Scotland) and whenever there, they use cornmeal instead of the porridge we know. Is this usual?

 

[cyberyacht]

A splash of Elmlea and a sprinkling of sultanas. It was a bit crisp first thing this morning and I suggested to OH that "porridge season" approached.

 

[fat haggis]

I can’t stand the stuff. I can remember as a kid being force fed it with salt . Can’t stand the stuff. Mrs haggis likes it. But not me.

 

[Shrimp]

I thought only children and old people ate porridge?

In that case one of us must be a child and the other way over the hill!

 

[Shrimp]

Salt in the porridge before cooking in water. Then a little milk and granulated artificial sweetener.
Porridge every day at home during the week. Home made muesli with some fresh fruit at weekends and in the van.

I don’t like these artificial sweeteners they usually have more chemicals than just using less sugar!

Who’s been eating my porridge? The story of the 3 bears clearly tells us that adults as well as children can enjoy porridge but makes no mention of older people.

 

[Shrimp]

Overnight porridge, no cooking needed. The night before put oats, Greek youghurt, milk, frozen mixed berries, and any other fruit you fancy (or some jam) in a plastic container. Stir well, put the lid on and put it in the fridge. Next morning eat it from the container. Yum yum

Keep meaning to try that!

 

[grasscutter]

3 tablespoons jumbo oats soaked in 3 tablespoons natural yoghurt for 24 hours.
Add a chopped banana before serving.
Eat, wash up and then prepare for next day.

Exactly why we use honey Mandy.

Now that was a silly thing to post and I need your assistance!

Love porridge and has to be salt and only salt! Not only do you waste the quality oats by putting sugar \ syrup \ jam \ etc\ etc ..... on them but it wastes these as well!

Anyway, to my problem!

You've seen my previous posts and they're, obviously, written by a wean!

However, given the silver hair and beard can you advise which of your two categories do I fall into?

Definitely a child

I cup of Oats, 1 cup of milk, 2 cups of water, pinch of salt, bring up to a simmer, stir for a few minutes, job done nearly.
Slack handful of mixed nuts & raisons, or Granola, stir into porridge, pour into bowls, sprinkle with brown sugar or golden syrup, lovely jubbly!

As a Christmas treat a dollop of Cornish Clotted Cream, or Brandy Butter on top.

Then I am ready for the full English fry up, don't forget the Black pudding & hash browns though.

A dollop of Aldi's creamy Greek yoghurt, topped with raspberries from the garden and a dribble of honey. When the raspberries have finished we will revert to banana and blueberries.
