McDange Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Been partial to this in the morning for a while now. Personally I like the instant pots you just put hot water in - basically a Porridge Pot Noodle. Different flavours of happiness to kickstart the day. What's the consensus? Salt? Flavoured? Plain?

wanderer Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Usually at weekends in winter, with blueberries and Agave Nectar (honey substitute, as I do not have much of a sweet tooth, but I do like this stuff in my porridge). Only thing me and the wife disagree on is texture.... she likes a sloppy, soup like texture, while I prefer it thick to the point that I can use it as mortar for building a wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 This should be the acid test for any player we think of recruiting under the granny rule: if they put salt on their porridge they MUST be English. Dennis the Menace's Scottish uncle took the slipper to him for that! Also - nowadays all you get is thin watery porridge. It should be thick and lumpy. Even Scotts now has been thinned out.

Mindimoo Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 One of two ways - always cooked with water and either salted then ice cold milk on top or with blueberries thrown in once it's starting to boil then topped with honey or agave.

scoobydoo Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I'm actually commissioning an oat mill just now and make about 4000 tons of it a week, in bulk 25kgs bags. I have the kilned oats smell all day. I can help myself to a bag or two before the robot palletises it. Prefer quick oats 0.4mm to instant 0.55mm and have berries in it.

scoobydoo Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I don't know about further down the production line when it get packaged for the market but we don't use any chemicals or additives. I get the oats from the cleaning plant so don't know what they use there but am certain there isn't any chem dosing there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee- Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Before adding the Oats to boiling salted water, mix in a handful of Raisins. Have a glass of Cold Milk and add to Porridge when required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the wife can't understand why all the stuff in the shops is as thin as water. 'Campaign for Real Porridge.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Heather honey or cinnamon and raisins. I've started eating some of this at work in the morning after I go for a swim. Half fill an empty 500g yogurt pot with oats, pour over hot water, mix, blitz in microwave for 30 seconds, another stir and another 20 second blitz. Only problem is ensuring one's at the bottom are fully mixed otherwise pretty good and lot cheaper and better for you than those sold in the supermarket.
