Re: Porridge: love or hate?
I have porridge every breakfast, and sometimes as a snack
Apparently savoury recipes are becoming more popular. Anyone recommend any?

In the UK milk containers are colour coded like this:
Blue = 'Full-fat' milk (3.5% fat)
Green - semi-skimmed (1.5--1.8% fat)
Red = skimmed (less than 0.3% fat)
You can also get "Jersey" or "Channel Island" milk which is 5.5% fat - it used to be know as "gold top" from the colour of the bottle tops and for all I know still is.

Stanley's an interesting looking beast.
I once worked in a lab where most of the automata had names, including George, Tommy and Lord Lucan (the last one had been 'lost' for months after delivery). The tradition was started by one particular colleague, who also had five pet goldfish - named A, B, C, D, and E.
Back on topic, re savoury recipes - I don't know any officially, but I've been surprised a few times by how well porridge goes with mince and gravy.
Everyone's ghast should get a good flabbering now and then.

I like it just with water and salt, in winter with yoghurt or rice pudding
Why do you love (or hate) porridge?
I have no position on porridge, as it were, but I am intrigued as to how one makes it with rice pud?

The rice pudding is added after cooking, the porridge is too hot, ricepud cools it down

Re: Porridge: love or hate?
Depends what you mean by porridge. For most people it means something made with rolled oats, which are a comparatively recent import from the U.S. Made in the traditional Scots way with oatmeal rather than rolled oats (or even better coarse ground oatmeal from somewhere like Golspie Mill) it's quite different - much greater depth of flavour, much more interesting texture. And of course it has to be made with a spurtle.
That old method has survived in Norway rather better than in Scotland. Some of the best I've ever had was served as a standard item in the copious breakfasts at DNT huts in the Norwegian mountains.

Re: Porridge: love or hate?
I must say, that we had porridge at home as a kid, and Mum, Dad, and Big Sis all enjoyed it. This is going back to the 1950s and it was oatmeal. Dad used to like a little salt on his IIRC.
As an adult, I've tried rolled oats porridge, and TBH, it's not as bad as oatmeal. Oatmeal porridge was ..... and still is ....... yukky.
Rolled oats porridge is still yukky, but not as yukky as oatmeal porridge.

Re: Porridge: love or hate?
Anyone have savoury porridge, I.e., with vegetables or similar? Could be a quick, easy, healthy midday meal option. I’ve heard it’s becoming more popular

My lentil soup was too thin once so I added porridge to it
I make lentil soup from scratch with lots of vegs, takes an hour, keeps a couple of days and can be warmed up in the microwave
I always include oats in soup for variety of nutrient types
