Porridge

[GrannyJen]

Eggs ...

I like them any way except poached

or boiled

or scrambled

or raw

I like fried eggs though

Love both option A and B, A before a big hike cooked with raisons, sliced banana, cinnamon, just a dash of salt which makes the sweet stand out, and fresh OJ poured over.

Not another one for golden syrup

That must be like mixing wallpaper paste with loctite

It’s all about getting the right amount of milk - or does that start a Milk vs Water debate ?

Only beach owners will have porridge made only with water

Am I imagining things or is traditionally made porridge supposed to be buried in a pot at the end of the garden before being served the following day?

Tough luck if you live in a flat

In that case keep it in a pot under the bed.

The fave in our house is salted butter and maple syrup...

Anything to keep SWMBO quiet

This one looks a classic . ... might try it ....

Apparently it increases serotonin. Well that should bugger up the clinical trial that I am currently on which is testing serotonin blockers

My family always made it with water instead of milk and flavoured it with salt only.

Apparently traditional.

I'm a half milk and half water kind of girl.

Hmm I have just bought some lemon curd to go in a rather yummy sounding lemon and pineapple gin cocktail that I have come across. I wonder what a teaspoon of that would be like stirred in?

 

[Trevor Brown]

Vary the breakfasts but Porridge definitely on the list. Preferably Flahavan’s Jumbo oats with whatever takes my fancy to add some sweetness.

Agreed! With full cream milk, and cooked only enough to leave some texture ...

I'm about to experiment with 1/ milk and half claret ..... or perhaps primitivo

A teaspoon? Go hog wild, break through to a new dimension, put in a whole tablespoon!

It'll be like grey slop with some lemon curd stirred in.

But if you really find you have to get an oatmeal fix somehow, the best way to do that is in an Atholl Brose.

(For the uninitiated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atholl_brose).

I've tried lemon curd. It's disgusting.

Raspberry jam is ok.

I've decided throwing in berries is a waste of berries, best reserved for yoghurt.

I'm now going to try something savoury, spiced mango dressing, or I might just go for Punjabi porridge and throw in some Kashmiri curry that I have with a hint of cumin....

How could she be normal? She lives with me

Tired the peanut butter option sad to say it's not for me.

1/3 milk + 2/3 water to 1 part oats is my preferred method.
I also found I can do a bowl in the microwave at 1 min each 100w 600w 300w and let it stand for a minute.
Then add sultanas (or raisins), or a spoonful of honey.

One of my favourites from Puglia.

Similar liquid for me but I find 2min 20sec on 800w is perfect. I stir a handful of raisins in before microwaving and a handful of flaked almonds in after, with a drizzle of honey. Keeps me going til 2pm
