No breakfast here either, I will eat porridge but only in the afternoons or at bedtime. UJ - go back to the drawing board

I do like porridge with nuts & cinnamon, or fresh fruit - sometimes for breakfast, sometimes an evening snack. (Can't have cream on it anymore though.)

I'll sometimes fix a bowl of oatmeal with sugar, cinnamon and raisins for lunch when the weather has turned really cold .... never breakfast!!

Porridge should be made the traditional way - with water NOT milk and served with salt NOT sugar!!!

Yes, that's how my father-in-law up in Aberdeen has his porridge. Yuk! Full fat milk and heaps of sugar for me. Haven't had any for ages, going to have it most days now - good for cholesterol too.

Re: Weight Gain (how to gain weight)

I was at a residential college (in Loughborough) some 20 odd years ago. The college fed us (very handsomely) and in the Spring term (between January and March) I put on 1 Stone in weight because I ate porridge for breakfast so from personal experience I know it DOES work and those trying to gain weight should try it.
