Let's hear it for the porridge!

I used to hate it as a kid but now I bloody love it.

Maybe it's a sign of old age, but f@ck it, who cares...

Respect to the porridge.

How do you eat yours?

porridge. Either just as it is, or with a bit of a banana. Can't stand sugar/salt/syrup in it

I adore pinhead/steel cut oats (the whole grain without being steamed or flattened) it has to cook for a fair while, but so worth the wait!

I top it with cinammon, brown sugar and coarsely chopped pecans. Pure heaven.

Sadly, I lead a mostly grain-free diet as I feel very lethargic after esting any sort of grains, but I used to love it. My staple brekkie when I lived in Ireland!

"I can't stomach breakfast "

Yes,I used to be like that, but mainly because I'd jump out if bed and out the door most mornings.

Now I'm usually up for a good hour before breakfast, and it definitely sets me up for the day.

I'm always up for an hour before I leave for work, but I can't stomach any kind of food before around 9.30 so it doesn't work for me to eat breakfast!

Used to start my day with a bowl of porridge with a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top when on a calorie controlled diet, fantastic filling start to the day.

I foookin love porridge. If I don't have my porridge, I really feel a lag in my energy through out the day.

It's cheap, full of energy and with a few added ingredients can be very tasty and good for your health as it lowers cholesterol.

I add a little honey and raisins or prunes. I summer it makes a good base for homemade muesli mixed with Greek yoghurt.

I've tried that, it's better than the slimy stuff but it's no substitute for porridge cooked in a pan for my tastes anyway. If I'm short on time I will go the microwave route with real porridge, I just have to remember to use a big enough bowl, too many times I've opened the microwave door to volcanic porridge

Used to eat Ready brek morning, noon and night as a little boy until I found out I wouldn't actually go to school with an aura glow around me, true story.

I first thought this thread was going to be about stirring porridge not breakfast.

Mornflakes 100% oats for me with a little bit of double cream on top.

Since my microwave blew up I've had to make porridge in the olden days way (ie in a saucepan).

I've only burnt it twice.

So far.

You forget how useful microwaves are

Hope you get another one soon or that you have more luck with the saucepan. Xx

It’s for me and has been a soft fulfilling breakfast I could swallow, ( due to throat cancer)

It’s been a bit of s godsend, I’m still eating at least once a day

Think there a recipe you do overnight in the fridge with oats and yoghurt along with fruits, I think!
