Bleurgh to milk in porridge. Only ds1 adds it to his, the rest of us pour on maple syrup.

I have tried. even this year I have tried. I was forced to eat rice pudding by an evil dinner lady when a child and since then anything cooked with milk in just makes me want to heave

I can smell it now - uugh

then don't add milk

still didn't like it

sorry

I guess it is not the milk? the cooked grainness of it also offends

I am porridge failure

even easier.

put the oats in one of those lunch thermoses.

cover with water just off the boil.

put the lid on.

leave it for 10 minutes.

stir it up.

add what you want.

eat!

I love the way it slides off the plate when its cold and set, sort of blancmongey.

ah now htat is cool

blancmangey even

oh god MrsC!

I must leave this thread

you need a recipe????

Forget the salt and sugar, add chopped dates and walnuts instead. Very nice.

Sultanas and cinnamon is nice too, somtimes I pour dc's porridge over raspberries and blueberries though they'd prefer it if I didn't.

Sorry, Franny!

what type of oats are you using?

pinhead? fine? rough-milled? rolled? if rolled - quick cooking or old fashioned?

Porridge sooooo soothing.
My fave is with a tin of drained blackcurrants tipped over it.

er....tesco

Sam as Franny, I want to like it and I have tried to like it, but it is just urgh.

Same

And putting lots of dried fruit on the top will count towards your 5-a-day, AND, you can drop the sugar.
