I have porridge nearly* every day at home, summer and winter, it is easy and quick to make, healthy cheap and tasty

I like it just with water and salt, in winter with yoghurt or rice pudding

Why do you love (or hate) porridge?
..
* occasionally I have lentil soup or pearl barley instead

Always made purely with water usually soaked overnight. Pan on the hob and use a spurtle. I did try microwave for a while but it’s a different result. I usually add raspberries and sometimes a fruit nut and seeds mix.

Have it everyday made with milk, no salt or sugar. Proper porridge oats, used to have oat so simple but prefer the real stuff and it's better health wise.

I'm in hotels most mornings in the week and find the porridge varies enormously.

I love Porridge because of Mr Mackay.

"Fletcher!"

There's no vote option for eating porridge a few times a week - which is where i am with it.

I make my porridge sweetened with honey, sometimes also a little muscovado sugar; Yummy!

I added an option for you but this zeroed all the votes cast %((

Please vote now, diolch!

Equal portions oats, hot water, milk. 2:30 in the microwave. Lovely. Every now and again I have something different but definitely over the winter porridge is the default!

One may add oatmeal or just flour, that makes it "creamier", or other cereal flakes, plenty of water, leave it overnight and warm it up in the morning

I haven't eaten porridge for quite a while must be over a year ago if not more.
When I do have it though, I have a good dollop of honey with it, curtesy of my bees in the garden.

Drop your spoon from a height of 6"

If it doesn't bounce off, add more oats!!!!!

Horrible stuff, and I have no idea why anyone eats it, let alone likes to eat it.

I suppose if I was starving, I'd eat it.

Cooked with raisins and muscovado. It's breakfast of choice before a long day in the saddle.

I tried it ............. held my nose and ate it ................ for breakfast, but I was starving hungry by 10:30.
Give me a full English, and it'll keep me going all day.

I do like porridge as a treat in very cold weather but I’m too lazy to make it because its a bit of a faff. If I were to make it, I’d use about a teacup of Quaker Oats, two cups of full cream milk (I think that’s the ratio: it should be pretty thick. Maybe it’s two and a half). No salt, but the vital ingredient is a generous teaspoon of Lyle’s Golden Syrup, allowed to make a lovely volcanic-looking crater in the middle. Failing that, sprinkle sugar on top and see it melt and run round the sides and eat when you can twizzle the bowlful round in the melted sugar. None of the Scotch Calvinist gruel for me. I must add that a usually eat a mix of bran and bran flakes. Easier to prepare, keeps me regular, and better for my figure
