My sisters oven broke so I got to cook a big shoulder pork roast.

[Edinburgh]

After not doing so for years, I've been making porridge for breakfast some mornings - yummmm.

I had porridge this morning...with brown sugar for me, or sometimes a dollop of jam in the middle. Puts hairs on your chest....not that I need any more!

[marron]

Porridge was one of those things that as a kid you ask for even though it's shite just so you can get the nice bit (the spoon of melted brown sugar).

(I still don't mind a bowl of porridge, usually i polish off the kids leftovers as they always overestimate the oats required. Except now i get to put however the **** many brown sugar spoons I want).

That's no how you make porridge!

Oats, water, salt, mix, heat/cook, serve, add more salt if necessary, a drop of milk, eat.

And what's with the instructions - one cup of oats serves 3? That's just enough for me.

I still have difficulty dealing with the memory from my first scout camp in 1960 when they made porridge and added sugar!

Excuse me, I  need some medication.

No. If I had and they used my porridge they wouldn't have died!

Yeah, i know a few Scots that put salt on their porridge. The blokes love their special salty white porridge up in Scotland.

Our mum also put a small bit of salt in porridge while it was cooking.just a pinch, no more than that. I loved it with warm milk and honey and sliced banana's.

Sliced banana's in porridge...you ******* monster....!

I've recently bought a box of those super quick porridge packs...with things added...eg almond slivers and cinnamon.

Just add milk...microwave.

The only problem is... it has sugar added...and it's a tad too sweet for me.

Yummy...but I couldn't eat it with sugar or honey as I did as a kid.

Having said that...I certainly couldn't eat it salty either.

Yeah, you either like salty porridge or you don't, no inbetween......

[wendybr]

I can't actually imagine eating ANYTHING salty...with milk. 

[Wanderboy]

Many cheeses are salty and made from milk.

And, they're so tasty!! "Just sayin".

I don't know what's traditional about cooking porridge. I only know what I grew up with and what I do now (which may be different?).  How much is a pinch of salt? I add 3 or 4 shakes into my hand. If it's too much - oops. If it's not enough add more after serving.

Agreed.

But that's different...to eating porridge with Ed's handful of salt...and milk poured over it.

Assuming he pours milk on it???

I honestly can't imagine it.

[marron]

oats and salt is basically a biscuit.

Salty porridge is how the Scots traditionally have it....

Which is quite surprising given their tendancy to smother everything in sugar...even deep frying chocolate bars....

By the way...in Middlesbrough 'salty porridge' is a euphemism  Which makes reading back this thread quite amusing in a chidish ****er kinda way lol

Yes I add a little bit of milk.  I dont use a handful of salt - probably more like 4 pinches of salt.

Besides at this stage of life a bit of extra preservative doesn't go astray.
