Porridge Poll

I've just had a bowl of steaming porridge for brekkie !

Marvellous stuff ! (IMO) proper Scotts oats, soaked overnight in milk, gently heated and served with a topping of honey !

Had to have a second bowl full it was that good


So I wondered fellow forummers love it or loathe it ?

(suggestions to alternative toppings / prep methods welcome.

Oh I love it. Scott's Oats soaked overnight definitely, but in water not milk. Constant stirring until thick and smooth then sponned into a soup plate. A splash of cold milk around the sides - just enough to make the porridge rise and add a teaspoon of brown sugar.

It's the cycle tourists' friend. Other than cleaning the saucepan but there are ways..

My method is the same as Brahan's, but just in a cereal bowl. Yum yum yummity yum.

1 cup oats, I'm a pinhead , 1 cup water and 1 cup soya/hemp/rice milk - topped off with golden syrup. Any other method is wrong.

Mmmmm, honey and bananananana or milk and brown sugar for me please.

My choice is the Quaker, Oat So Simple, original, two minute microwave porridge with a sliced banana mixed in. Maybe a sprinkle of brown sugar for added yummyness.

That's fine, if you insist on wrong porridge then it's up to you...

I'm with Ian. Your post caused me a lot of turmoil. First the joy of finding someone who understands that porridge is made with oatmeal, then immediately the rug was pulled away with the barmy soya/hemp/rice talk. Cruel stuff, 3BM.

Boil milk, add sugar, add oats, stir until thick ... enjoy.

I'll have to try the soaking thing though, sounds interesting.
