The porridge thread

[Maidmarian]

I love porridge.

How do you like yours?

Spelled PORAGE !

& eaten with milk & honey.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I have just finished a bowl of porage (I prefer that way of spelling it). I make it by mixing a cup of cold water with half a cup of porage. I bring it to the boil in a saucepan and transfer it straight away to a bowl where I leave it to stand for 5 minutes. The other way is to continuously stir it in the saucepan for 5 minutes as it heats up. I prefer the leave it be method which takes exactly the same time but is not so labour intensive.

Today's porage I had with two spoons of St. Dalfour blackcurrant preserve. Usually I have it on its own. I have dabbled with Maple Syrup before. That stuff is absolutely delicious.

There are two acceptable ways of spelling it; yours is more often associated with the Scott's brand.

I'm still waiting for opinions on whether a touch of salt enhances an otherwise sugar-based porridge recipe. Anyone?

No, but it will be if we don't stop the train with my underwear and get dad out of prison!
