What Do You Put On Your Porridge?

[naomi24]

'A big dollop of fresh cream', says someone I know.   I've heard of jam, or golden syrup, but never fresh cream.   Has anyone else ever heard of it?  

[barry1010]

Nothing.  My dad always put molasses on his but grey porridge never appealed to me

[Redhelen72]

Golden syrup and banana or just sugar

[Gill1941]

Grapes and blueberries.

Every morning with porridge made with water.

[barry1010]

I just have porridge made with water, no salt, sugar or anything.

I have a banana later

[Bobbisox1]

Mostly fruits like berries and banana 

[Tilly2]

Nothing at all.

[Redhelen72]

When I was a child, dad would make the porridge the night before and pop it in the bowl with a sprinkle of sugar which would then melt and go syrupy.

the next day we would heat it in the micro - my fav way of having it all firm and sweet

Maybe he was trying to make cranachan sound healthy 😁

Usually just porridge with nothing added, but recently a table spoon of frozen berries.

Cream on it would seem luxurious.

When I(briefly) used to eat porridge, yes, I put a bit of double cream on it...plus the darkest sugar I could find. Usually molasses sugar. It was the only way I'd eat the stuff.

If I'm having hot porridge, I usually have stewed apple, greek yogurt and maple syruop, if I ran out of greek yogurt, I'd put creme fraiche on it. Overnight oats, just berries, and nuts or seeds

Honey & banana or raspberries. I do like the thought of fresh cream but too extravagant 😁

[Countrylover]

It's not what I would put on porridge  - it's where I would put the porridge!  In the dog's bowl !  Yuk

[andy-hughes]

Just sugar, but I prefer Reddie Brek.

I make porridge for my wonderful wife, and it's a measure of my love for her that I put honey on it for her.

I hate the smell, the taste, and the feel of the stuff, it is the spawn of the devil as far as I am concerned.

You old romantic, andy :)

Father used to make a huge saucepanful of it on those very icy cold mornings. He and my sister had Fowlers treacle whilst mother and I had soft dark brown sugar. I always make mine now with a good pinch of salt and still put a spoon of sugar on top. 

[Redhelen72]

I haven't had readybrek in years - do they still make it?

[andy-hughes]

Indeed they do, unlike Rice Cremola, my all time fave desert, which vanished some years ago.

[Redhelen72]

thanks Andy - I may have to get myself a box

[barry1010]

You can make your own rice cremola, it's very easy.

I don't understand how you can enjoy Ready Brek and hate porridge - they are both made from the same raw ingredient, oats.

Honey & a sprinkling of ginger
