How do you like your porridge in the morning?

news to me

http://www.goldenspurtle.com

You can't beat putting sliced banana through it.

Quaker oats made with water and a spoon full of honey for me.

sub semi skimmed milk for H20^

In the bin.

Prunes....reconstituted not tinned

Post dog walk, Flahavans jumbo oats made with half milk half water, spoon of honey and if it's really cold a wee tot of nippy sweetie - lovely stuff.

The mutts are quite partial to a dollop of it in their bowls too.

some very good efforts for second place there ... but all seems to be with sweet things (the additive, not you chit chatters)...

I'm sure that I heard somewhere that salt was preferred by some ... maybe my dad told me that when I was little and we had run out of golden sysrup and there was only enough left in the tin for him!

with chilli

I actually have porridge made of wholemeal oatmeal, with a teaspoon of honey and a smattering of blueberries
I have this every single morning without fail.....and Im still f00ked

in a bowl

Gluten free with lactose free milk.Done in the microwave with blueberries added . Although I did recently try it with sliced banana. Very nice indeed.

Oh yeah I forgot I too have it with almond soya instead of milk....thats about 2 bloody quid a litre
Ohhh the life of the 1%er

it's all becoming a bit exotic ...

does nobody have salt??

sprinkled with cinnamon on top

Mick ... I like the way you're thinking ... with honey or brown sugar or anything.

Answer carefully ... you could go to the top of the leader board

I just don't get the water and salt thing. I believe that's the way the Scots do it!

Has to be really creamy for me and with Golden Syrup, Maple Syrup, Honey, or some good jam.

Correct answer and a little more explanation would benefit those not convinced.

Make it with: traditional oats or ready made stuff, water or milk, sugar or salt, microwave or slow-cook, add some honey, syrup, jam, blueberries, strawberries and cherries are also good. Some nuts like nuts as well.

Then carefully scape the mess out of the pan and bin the lot.

Get out bacon and eggs, fry and enjoy a proper breakfast.

Charlie ....

Nooooo ... bacon and egg will kill you.

Porridge oats very healthy option - oats good for the heart.

Scottishers live on porridge and the evidence of an healthy nation is there for all to see!

That wee krankie woman is a radiant picture of health - a bonnie wee lassie,

And as for that Salmond chappie, a mere slip of a lad, hardly a sliver of fat on him.

Too many eggs and you'll get high cholesterol and too much bacon and you'll have arse cancer.

I like the instant stuff (Ready Brek) easy to make and sprinkle on unrefined brown sugar....yummy!
Does that count ?

Rockin...

I always thought that Readybrek is for babies ... but you seem a big tough fellah so it counts ...

Congrats, you're on the leaderboard - not top, mind

I like Quaker Oats that you do in the microwave.

Don't like Original (plain) but ok with cinnamon, apple and blackberry or the cranberry one.

Three quarters teacup Aldi rolled oats and 2 teacups of cold water in a bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes stirring halfway through.
Perfect. No need to pay over the odds for brand names or sachets of "quick cook oats". With some of these you are paying 10 times the price for no benefit other than they have measured out a portion for you. Surely you are capable of doing that yourself?

Awwwh not Top - what a disapointment....

has no one tried it with deep fried mars bars?

i have scottish porridge oats from sainsbury's made with water and add blueberries or banana. occasionally i add honey.

I wanted to try it with "deep fried Mars Bars" - girlfriend wouldn't let me...

3/4 water, 1/4 milk, with a pinch of salt stirred in after porridge is ready (helps to bring out the flavour of the oats according to the Scots - and apparently the Scots don't add milk, just water), honey on top + little brown sugar, also this cold weather splash of whisky mixed in at the end. And make it in a saucepan, don't nuke it in the microwave.

I didn't know there was link between bacon and arse cancer

Platini, it depends where you put it, apparently

well technically I think those who debate such things refer to it as bowel cancer....but for the requirement of chit chat arse will suffice

Porridge oats are porridge oats, whether they are called "Scottish" and come from Sainsbury's, or where the fek hell they come from.

Do yourself a favour and look at them in swanky packaging or just, for instance, Morrison's Saver packaging and they look exactly the same!

Why, I hear you cry?

Because they are that's why.

The same goes for very many other products, so why not at least check them out?
Nothing to lose, even if you don't like them, as they are cheap, cheap , cheap (unlike emulsion paint at £44 for 2.5 litres, which isn't)!

I find that three quarters of a cup to one and a half cups of milk is spot on.

Also, it's a good idea to put it in a none stick milk pan and leave in the fridge, the evening before.

Microwave is the way forward.

I like mine with a kiss
Boiled or fried... I'm satisfied
Just as long as I get my kiss..

ready brek is like the instant mash potato of oats
Im not a 100% sure it aint just flaky skin

Rancid squidgy mess for brakfast,no thx
Very bad for some people bodies also

F ipad *breakfast * peoples

Soak the oats in milk overnight. Add ground nuts, sunflower seeds and a handful of blackberries, raspberries and blueberries then 2.5 minutes in microwave. Stir well and enjoy

Bugger the porridge right off.

Sausages are the only early morning food worth considering to be ingested.

only with salt n' vinegar crisps

hahaha! Oh, if only it were still the case, Capt - pure Ambosia!
