Very nutritious indeed.
ReplyDeleteTry it and thrive my son.
DeleteI'll take your word for it, I don't like bananas or oatmeal.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I have ever met anyone who didn't like either bananas or porridge oats.
DeleteI don't think I have ever met anyone who doesn't like bananas, either.
DeleteI know plenty who think porridge is disgusting. Not me, I love it.
DeleteYou should meet more people, I don't like hot oats or bananas.
DeleteI prefer normal rolled oats over quick oats though these are maybe less suited to the microwave. A former NSW* premier famously (OK, not very famously, only famously in NSW) swore by "steel-cut" oats.
ReplyDelete*NSW in this case does not stand for "not safe for work" but rather as in Hillaire Belloc's "My language fails/Go out and govern NSW" in his cautionary tale about Lord Lundy who "from his earliest years was far too freely moved to tears."
Actually, that is an old container. We fill it with rolled oats. I thought NSW meant No Significant Weather - as in aviation.
DeleteI'm not a porridge fan but I can imagine it is nice to start a cold winter's day on a warm breakfast. My usual morning fare is muesli with oat "milk" and a sliced banana, sometimes I add fresh blueberries.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound yummy. I'm currently microwaving packets of instant porridge, one neighbour moved to the local nursing home and gave me stuff from her pantry.
ReplyDeletePorridge is definitely healthy for you but like all those things tasted at childhood, rice pudding and semolina pudding very dour looking in their appearance. Can anyone remember junket for instance.
ReplyDeleteI am reading this whilst eating my porridge and fruit! Oats, sultanas ,and milk in microwave..... 2 minutes is enough.....then add chopped grapes, strawberries, and blueberries.......mix with one of those little pots of yoghurty stuff for cholesterol or immune system, and scoff!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a proper breakfast.
ReplyDeletePorridge and milk is all I require.
ReplyDeleteI prefer slow cooked steel cut oats, because the texture seems better to me. My go-to fruit would be diced apple instead of banana, I'd use a little brown sugar instead of honey, and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts would top it all off. Quick oats in the microwave are too gluey for me (I hate the texture).
ReplyDeleteI like oats with banana and walnuts with flax seed and Agave syrup, so we're almost on the same page!
ReplyDeleteI believe I must have eaten way too much oatmeal when I was young and can barely tolerate it now. I prefer making a breakfast cereal of oat BRAN which is also nutritious. I add it to bread as well. And make muffins of it. But I recognize that I am odd.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fancy oatmeal. I'm a Cheerios person.
ReplyDeleteVery similar to our breakfasts except made with water, no milk, no bananas and very tart homemade marmalade instead of honey. - oh and a few tablespoons of bran in the oats.
ReplyDeleteyou forgot the peanut butter!
