Ha!
I'd say.. one step away from sticking to the roof of your mouth!

Re: Doing Porridge

Piglet, he would say ... eat your porridge.

Faced with that or shredded wheat I used to take a slice of porridge to eat on the way to school.

Re: Doing Porridge

Porridge made with water (I don't like milk), no salt allowed...... and blueberries, strawberries or chopped banana on top.

Re: Doing Porridge

In the slimmin world version, you pour the milk, or youghurt on the oats---then leave overnight in the fridge--I just tried with a spoonful, but no, i could not face it. I lke crunchy cereals. Not soggy !!

Re: Doing Porridge

Get your teeth into a shredded wheat Mariana ... it'll do wonders for any diet.

Re: Doing Porridge

Even easier: one cup of water in your bowl, third of a cup (heaped) oats, two minutes in the microwave.

Then you have a choice; either a further two minutes at 30% or just let it stand for two minutes (personally do the former)

Stir in knob of butter, add milk and YUM!

Only have porridge in winter myself, it shares the stage with shredded wheat because I only like that with warm milk. Summer is all cold milk, Weet-bix and muesli

Re: Doing Porridge

Decades ago, we used to be able to get something called "first break of wheat" - unbranded, unprocessed, no additives.
This, mixed with porridge - or even by itself - great flavour and texture.
Later it was available only at Health Food stores but then disappeared altogether.

We were told there was some health-scare about it.
What crap - talk about the Nanny State.

Re: Doing Porridge

As a diabetic porridge is a good start to a day. It has a low GI, so the slow release keeps me feeling full for longer. Also you can add so many things to it.

I go through phases with it.

Re: Doing Porridge

Thank you for that---at the moment I am eating what looks like little shredded wheats most mornings--but maybe Ill try the others next week--but I could not take them with milk-at the moement I use either fromage frais or low fat youghurt with my minis.
