The aftermath of porridge.

[DaleCooper]

I was trying to find the old Scott's Porage Oats advert that I remember from childhood. Instead I found this, a young lass getting her oats and an eyeful! (Safe for work)

...but of course it's gonna turn into open warfare and a thousand-post thread about how to cook/eat porridge...

Did you really expect anything different where such a controversial topic is concerned? Next you're going to ask if it's cream on jam or jam on cream...

Er that’s actually not a question...

If you told me how I should have my steak cooked, I'd tell you to do one. I don't see why porridge should be any different.

I was being deliberately flippant, I'd much rather people made it how they liked it and enjoyed it than made it a very specific way all the time.

What?! Forget chicken or egg, Han or Guido, or Kirk vs Piccard... It is the question: when preparing scones for an afternoon tea do you put cream first and then jam on top, or do you do it the other way round?

Cornmeal at Mums. Ready Brek at Nan's (sometimes chocolate Ready Brek).

Porridge Oats should only be used in flapjacks !!

If you really must have 'Traditional Porridge Oats' Oat so Simple (disposable pots) seem to be popular at my depot.

Cream first NajaB. We’re not animals.

On my favourite cheese scones, neither.

Damn! You beat me to it

No! Porridge oats should, funnily enough, be used for porridge.
Although they are also very nice in flapjacks

There are those who hold the exact opposite view, and there is photographic evidence: Google image search results.

In danger of going seriously off-topic here, but it is important that children are taught life-skills. As children, me and my siblings each had to do the washing up once a week. If you don't learn from experience, how are you ever going to know about putting bowls in soak rather than let the porridge or whatever harden all day?

Absolutely, we had to cook and wash up when we went to scout camp, it taught us those skills and yes, I also had to help my mother on occasion at home.
Stepkids have been told multiple times over the 10 years I've been with their mother and it seems to go in one ear and out the other, one of them works in a well known sandwich shop and does dishes there but still doesn't put that into practice at home.

A frequent question that pops up on my favourite bands Facebook page is what colour packet should Cheese & Onion crisps be in

Han or Guido,

Did you mean Greedo, as in who shot first?


Apologies for all for taking this further off topic.

 

[krus_aragon]

Han or Guido

Did you mean Greedo, as in who shot first?

Hmm, futuristic blaster vs barrels of gunpowder...

At least Han tossed a coin over and apologised about the mess as he left. I wonder if Greedo is harder to clean off surfaces than dried porridge?

 

[najaB]

I did, sorry.

Green!

 

[Cowley]

Green!

Absolutely.
Blue is the colour of the sea - therefore salt and vinegar.

Well it's porridge day again; but this morning I poured a touch of olive oil into the pan first and spread it around the bottom and sides, and that worked a treat! Didn't distaste the porridge either.

Olive oil? I'm surprised you didn't taste it. Peanut or rice bran oils would seem better suited.

I'm used to olive oil, so don't notice in small quantities I suppose. The porridge also had sugar and a touch of jam in it masking any other taste!
