Readybrek

[Unreasonablebetty]

I've got a hankering for readybrek, ah I love readybrek could live off the stuff in the winter months!!

Tho I always feel a bit guilty having it for breakfast, does anyone think that it's more like a dessert, esp with a dollop of Nutella?
It's so similar to semolina! Obviously not a huge quandary, but i want to talk about Ready Brek.

Yummy yum yum in my tum....

I have ready brek (actually instant hot oat cereal as am stingy) in the winter but don't feel it's got cold enough yet . I put cocoa in it when I want it brown rather than beige

I like it mixed with mashed banana.

Proper porridge here, with grated apple, or nuts and raisins, or lemon curd for me, and either chocolate spread or jam for DS3.

Way cheaper than ready break and nicer too!

Does anyone remember the butter flavour one, that you used to get in the 70s?

KittyLovesPaintingOhYes Love the Not the Nine O'clock news mention!

Good satire never dies the future I can't hear 'Bread of Heaven' without singing along ' made Failed in Waaales' and as for the cars 'built by roberts'...

I'll get my coat...

Ooh I like ready break cold

Or hot with a metric fuckton of sugar

My dd loves her readybrek. She has eaten it all through the summer...

Usually, she has hot instant oat cereal versions. I often have some.

We love porridge too. And the golden syrup packets for a treat.

Not keen on the texture of ready brek, it's like eating wallpaper paste.

We have Kentish porridge oats which are the Best! Little bit of dried fruit, no added sugar. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Best thread ever. I need to get some - it's my favourite thing in the world (with massive dollops of golden syrup )

I love Readybrek! I also add hot chocolate powder to make it chocolatey I've not seen the proper chocolate Readybrek in years.

I wouldn't touch it. It has loads of added salt and crap and killed a baby a few years ago. Just grind some oats.

It's just finely ground porridge with some added vitamins and minerals. And the supermarket own brands are identical but much cheaper. It's a great weaning food. I like proper porridge too but that takes an extra couple of minutes to cook. I don't see it as a treat!

I love Costa's porridge. It's got more texture than Readibrek and I think they they just add hot water to it. Lovely with honey.

I wish I could buy it by the packet

It definitely doesn't have added salt! It is oats, oat flour plus iron, niacin etc that goes in other fortified cereals.

There definitely was a teenage couple who's baby died and the judge blamed the salt in readybreak.

That poor baby was only three months old though Shazziedazzie so shouldn't have had any salt, even the 0.03g in readybrek was too much. He was also being fed adult gravy.

Ds loves it just had a large bowl with fruit purée

I buy Aldi/Sainsburys own he can't tell the difference but can with Weetabix

I think it's revolting nearly as bad as the devils puke aka porridge

I do Readybrek as a quick, hot breakfast for the kids on a work day. I put the RB into a bowl + a couple of heaped spoons of dried milk. Boil the kettle, squirt of honey & jobs a good'n!
It's nice as a speedy supper too!

the future& kitty, I remember the, "If you want your kid to glow in the dark, go live near Windscale." Brilliant!
i also sing Failed in Wales to myself tee heee

We buy the sainsburys version too, as it's exactly the same.

Shazzie, as others have said, there is no added salt or sugar in readybrek. The baby was weaned far too early on mash, instant gravy and readybrek.

I tried readybrek this morning with mixed spices sprinkled on and it was delicious! Thank you to a pp who gave me that idea.

Shazzie, as others have said, it is extremely low in salt. 0.03g per 100g according to the box I am looking at now. Tiny, and certainly nothing added.

Yes, the baby you refer to was being fed Ready Brek, but also lots of other unsuitable foods. Ready Brek was just a brand name which the likes of the Daily Fail latched onto and trumpeted about.

It really isn't vastly different from baby rice.

kittylovespaintingohyes and FrancisNiadova Oh, I am so glad that somebody else appreciates good comedy! Haha, yes, Failed in Wales, classic! Those sketches are amazing and should really be shown on TV again! Also 'Kinder Lingers' (somebody had to mention it) and 'I Like Trucking' are absolute classics! I wonder how Gerald the Gorilla is doing now? "Wild? I was livid!"
