Do you only stir clockwise as per Scottish custom?
I LOVE porridge.
Its filling, it keeps me going all day, and its warm and satisfying.
I make mine with cut rolled oats, water and a pinch of salt (the most important aspect of porridge making! ) and heat in the microwave, and in 45 seconds, voila! Porridge.
Best thing is with water, its low in fat, calories, KJ or whatever you want to call it, its slow release so you can keep on going all day seriously!
I dont have any toppings, why do you need them when its soo good on its own? Maybe a little brown sugar if feeling like a sweet fix but usually I go survivor styles.
Sometimes I have it for dinner

I love it too. I always make with milk, i like it salty AND sweet, so add salt to my tatse. I simmer it with the lid on to make it very creamy and I like to serve with either brown sugar or a little golden syrup.

yea for creamy porridge (which is THE BEST but not if you dont want the milk fat etc) milk is the way to go or a dollop of cream while doing it over a hot stove. Its SOOOO good on a winters day or even in summer believe it or not

My mum makes the best porridge ive ever had, even better than what some scots make, but then again, she did make it creamy as given the amount of milk she made it with. Its AWESOME. I Love it since its so healthy and keeps you going for so long. Esp made with water its so low in fat and high in fibre that keeps you 'regular' and maintains that whole sense of sustained energy throughout the day. I used to have a couple slices of toast at lunch for breakfast, now I have porridge and boy does it keep me going until dinner with no snacks even.

I have just started having porridge for breakfast again. I make it with half water, half milk and salt. Boil well for about 5 mins. Eat with milk and brown sugar. Delicious. Even more delicious with cream on the odd occasions I have cream to put on it.

I like porridge too - always liked Creamoata the best - what on earth has happened to it? Has it been taken off the market?

I like the "aroma" of cooked porridge but must admit it feels like it should be coming up the other way! (as in "chuck") think it's to do with it's texture

I love porridge but never get to make it, need quite a bit of time in the morning to make porridge to really sit down and enjoy it.

If you adhere to scottish custom, it only takes as long as it takes to set a table for one to make, and also it should be eaten standing up apparantly according to the HARD CORE

LOL - it seems the oddest thing to be obsessed about, but each to their own.
I have just finished my porridge, made with Soy Milk and an apple chopped in - very good it was too.

And I totally support your right to post repeatedly about porridge or any other obsession - couldn't help wondering whether you were bothering to return to read the answers to your many repetitious porridge questions ;)

Our household always cooks porridge in a pot, using water with no salt. And we add ahandful of saltanas. The boys wont have it any other way now. Oh and of course brown sugar and milk to serve.
