I put yoghurt in my porridge.

How gross is this?

Do you like it? Are you making other people eat it? Do what you want.

MarshyMcMarshFace · 19/08/2023 16:00

Ketchup would be a lot worse

Changingplace · 19/08/2023 16:00

Not something I’ve ever done but not gross tbh, both sweet foods, people often put honey or jam in porridge, it’s not that different.

PorridgePies · 19/08/2023 16:02

Judging by my friend's reaction I think she'd have been less horrified if I'd added ketchup.

My colleague puts mango chutney in sandwiches. That's worse IMO.

DorotheaHomeAlone · 19/08/2023 16:04

I do that for the kids. Porridge, berries and yoghurt. Can’t see the problem.

I have a big dollop of greek yoghurt, fruit and seeds on porridge. Lovely 😍

LooselyBasedOnAMadeUpStory · 19/08/2023 16:04

I have my porridge oats with orange juice and ground ginger.
Yogurt seems perfectly normal tbh.

Whatsthepoint1234 · 19/08/2023 16:11

I put yoghurt in my porridge… is it not normal? On another note, I thought putting sprinkles on white bread with margarine was normal until a recent thread so I may not be the best one to judge!

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 19/08/2023 16:12

Yoghurt - normal turn of events
Mayonnaise - perhaps a little odd.

metalmaude · 19/08/2023 16:13

I make my porridge with coffee

Divebar2021 · 19/08/2023 16:16

Greek yoghurt is normal surely? Overnight oats / Bircher muesli is made by adding yoghurt. What do they think is unusual about it?

@Whatsthepoint1234 .... an Aussie friend of mine sent me a pic of her 'fairy bread'... sprinkles, butter/marg and white bread sonot that strange

In my home country it’s also quite popular - we call it ‘hagelslag’ - for some reason British people seem to find it a bit ‘out there’ though!

Whatsthepoint1234 · 19/08/2023 16:24

@metalmaude are you Dutch? My mum always used to put coffee in Brinta (a special kind of porridge) when we were sick as kids. On special occasions she’d make ‘bierpap’ which is porridge made with beer as a starter!!

@BatshitIsTheOnlyExplanation brie, cucumber and mango chutney is the best sandwich combo. generally cheese and mango chutney goes so well together.

@PorridgePies do you mean you make overnight oats with yoghurt? or porridge with yoghurt?

I put them together for overnight oats.

megletthesecond · 19/08/2023 16:32

Quite normal.
I have a dollop of yoghurt on my overnight oats.

It's nice in a turkey sandwich. We had that last Boxing Day evening.

Monkeytapper · 19/08/2023 16:46

I also put Greek yogurt in porridge for overnight oats

NeedToKnow101 · 19/08/2023 16:47

I have plain yogurt with so many things.

PorridgePies · 19/08/2023 16:47

I stir yoghurt into porridge,

Potnoodleforbrains · 19/08/2023 16:52

Am I mad or are overnight oats and and yoghurt, and porridge and yoghurt not the same thing ?

Pineapplemonkey · 19/08/2023 16:53

There was a woman on the radio a while ago who said she eats sardines mixed in with her porridge, now THATS gross.

oh and mango chutney in a chicken salad sandwich is amazing, no weirder than cranberry sauce 🤷🏻‍♀️
