Well porridge seems to crop up regularly so I thought it could be worth a thread.
When? How often? Whose oats? How do you make it? What do you add? What do you have with your porridge? I think the permutations are endless.
Me:-
First thing, so before 7am.
Oats, waitrose, cheapest, normal size.
How, I cover the bottom of my largest saucepan and cover with 50/50 milk (I have no prference for milk, full,semi, 0%) and water to the first notch in the side of the pan. I have no idea of weight or liquid measurement. Lots basically.
Sugar to taste, sometimes honey, sometimes jam. Occasionally add raisins. Never salt.
Wiith Tea or Coffee, if embarking on a long run will have a banana.
I have porridge binges, can go for weeks without, but then, as this week, 'ave it all the time.

Me:
Around 8.00am
Oats - Tesco or other cheapest normal size
45-50g in bowl, c.200ml sweetened soya milk, banged in the microwave 2:00 minutes, stirred
Drizzled finely with maple syrup.
Usually weekdays only.
Never before running, too much sloshing about.

I'm just using the Quaker packets in the microwave. Lob a banana on top every now and again as well.
I should probably just do it myself, but I can make my lunch etc when it's spending it's two minutes in the microwave, and that's about as close as I get to multi-tasking

if it's just me, Dorset Cereals Proper Raspberry Porridge in microwave
if other people want some I make a big pan full - cheapest value range supermarket oats, 1 measure oats to 2 measures milk and water - size of measure depends on how many people, good pinch of salt, bring gently to boil and voila
daughter has golden syrup, husband has extra milk and demerara, I have mine plain

Quickest, less to wash up! One bowl, one spoon. Job done.
I like to pimp mine with nuts and fruit an stuff, but it all adds to the calorie burden. (Ha Ha ha if you'd seen how much  I'd eaten today for Comic Relief)

Quaker but not the sachets as they are a rip off, I buy the box. 2 mins in micro, semi skimmed milk, bit of sugar and sometimes raisins.

I eat the porridge in the morning, about 7.30, but get it ready the night before.
Just before bedtime I put 25g medium oats and 25g oatbran in a pan, add about 180ml coconut milk and about 50ml of water, a dash of cinnamon and spoon of cocoa and leave it overnight. Sometimes I will add another flavour like lavender, lime or ginger and sometimes I put in half a cooking apple that has been blitzed in the food processor. In the morning I heat it for about 5 minutes and add a teaspoon of agave syrup. Before serving I add mixed seeds and sometimes blueberries.

Waitrose normal oats (NOT the ones with bran, they are fucking yuck!), one small cup of oats, one cup semi-skimmed, one cup water, bring to the boil then simmer till done (or till burnt sometimes if I wander off...), no salt ever cos it's fucking yuck too, dark treacly muscovado sugar on top. With a latte with 1.5 sugars. Every day except for holidays and unless the temperature is over 30c.
Packet is not really porridge, it's dust with added sugar and flavourings.
MacDonalds porridge is surprisingly nice, I found out.

It won't be long before the Caledonian contingent arrive and tell us all:
1. It's spelt "porage".
2. you eat it with the finest mountain spring water, and salt.
3. Preferably nude, or with a string vest on at worst.
As a 3rd generation part-Caledonian who's never lived north of York, all I can say is it's lovely but with milk and cinnamon and syrup from time to time.
