Porridge?

[on the road]

I used to eat porrige in my teenage days and liked it, but I tried it last year for the first time in what must be 30 odd years and just couldn't stomach it. I remembered how to make it but after trying it, I just couldn't understand how I liked it all those years ago.

Take some old newspaper, tissue and cardboard. Soak until mushy, heat & serve.

That's what porridge tastes like to me - vile, vile, VILE muck. Hated it as a kid, and tried it again recently as my tastes have changed a lot since then. It was still as gut-wrenchingly awful as I remembered it.

This thread has got the juices running good and proper.

Brekkie on the morrow is going to be large bowl of P with salt crust and 2 fried eggs on top - manner from heaven.

It has all kinds of extra vitimins n stuff added in that dont occur in the oats.. according to an NHS dietion anyway..

Ah, its "fortified", possibly with seven vitamins and minerals if it's like Rice Crispies et al. I see what you mean now.

I simply cannot believe that no one has yet chimed in with a "and the porridge?" line.

it was not my intention to provoke that sort of answer at all

It's fine so long as you put enough Worcester sauce on top.

Porridge is my breakfast of choice nearly every day, riding or not. I add dried fruit and chop a banana into it too - lovely!

I don't find it heavy.
