A Tactical Error in Catering Means...

I've turned to weetabix in the mornings. Far easier, quicker and less messy than porridge. I do like my porridge I'm just a bit lazy to allow enough time for it.

*whispers heresey*

Microwave it. Works a treat. I do a big bowlful of porridge topped with fruit every morning - less than 2 minutes in the microwave.

Posting on a cycling forum doesn't mean you have to eat porridge *every* morning.

What if everyone starts cycling... and posting on forums... and it gets competitive.

Will all the oats not run out? Hn?

It hasn't turned me into a cyclist able to zoom past Victoria Pendleton or Nicole Cooke with a cry of "Kiss my rear mudguard, suckers!"


So I think we may be ok as to future supplies of oats.

So we can all get our oats, then?

Priceless. Just read the dripping fascism in the words of those who insist you 1. Must eat porridge and 2. Must have salt on it. Never mind making it taste good. Oh, and while you're at it here's a knitting pattern to make us all a hair shirt!

[QUOTE 914876, member: 259"]Quite right! Yuck! Salt, water and a splash of milk if you absolutely must. Golden syrup on porridge is strictly for the kids.[/quote]

Tried porridge with salt rather than Golden Syrup this morning for the first time ever - look at me, all growed up!

 

[Crackle]

You ran out of Golden Syrup again!

PPP, sack the shopper.

Taken well over a year to get your courage up there

Boil some condensed milk up, hey presto, toffee!!

Top Tip - make sure you cook the tin for long enough! This was one my dad's two kitchen accomplishments (we're talking 1960s) and being an impatient bloke he was forever putting the can spanner on it too soon and getting a scalp full of beige magma.

I'm a sultana plus syrup man 3BM but I ranout and started using some local honey. Not too bad but nowhere near as disgustingly sweet and nice as T&L's Golden Syrup.

Thing was, rich - I was in bonny McJockland all last week and for brek one morning I had the porridge and asked for the sweet variety, it was just too sweet so I thought I'd give the healthy salt option a go. I think it must be a Scottish ruse to get us on to savoury porridge, worked with me but then I'm easily lead.

A Scottish colleague of mine eats porridge (probably with salt, I'd wager) in the afternoon. Now I like porridge as much as the next cyclist, but there's a time and a place.
