          If you dont like it, dont eat it.
          Never believed in living forever and being miserable.:biggrin:

          Wouldn't touch porridge with a barge pole, unless of course it was loaded with sugar,(or honey) and milk, in order to make it taste nice.
          As to salt, what the hell is that about, oh yeah probably goes back to the days before sugar was avilible.:snork:

            Well, maybe having a double whisky before eating the porridge will make you less miserable.:snorky:

              chopped walnuts and raisins is good on top with the brown sugar, also pecans, you can saute pecans in some butter and brown sugar put that on it.

                  I have porridge for breakfast with loads of fruit on top. You can use milk or half water. No sugar. You could add dry oats to casseroles.:doggieshmooze:

                        Try using Soya milk rather than cows milk.
