Sloppy Porridge – It’s not right
December 5th, 2008
The wife was making porridge this morning and told me that she was making it with full fat milk as it had a higher calorie count. My immediate reaction was that it was ‘gross’, however I was then informed that she has always made porridge using full fat milk. ‘What you don’t know, won’t hurt’ sprang to mind.
Now I really like my porridge not to be too sloppy and to be sprinkled with white sugar to sweeten it. I do not though, like cold extra milk added to the porridge once it has been made, which is then mixed in, resulting in a lukewarm slop. Its just wrong.
Of course once I have my perfect bowl of porridge I like to chase it down with a nicely made cup of tea. 
I make porridge in the same way my Mum made it for me. There is nothing wrong with the extra bit of cold milk. It allows you to eat it straight away without burning your mouth on it.
Sloppy porridge is definitely wrong. Porridge itself is borderline anyway but with cold milk, jees it’s like gruel.
It’s quite nice with a dollop of jam or chocloate spread tho…mmmmm.
Toast is better though. Screw your damn porridge and make me a bacon and egg sarnie.
I like the extra milk at the end… you get a nice firm bit on top. My mum only ever made hot breakfasts during December. This was awesome as a kid because you could put your advent choccy in the porridge! YUMMY!
Ewwww chocolate spread yuk yuk yuk
And if you are putting Jam on it surely you are turning it into something tapioca and you dont have that for brekkie.
Oi Ashworth, eat your healthy snacks and forget the talk of fried food
No no no no no…..you can buy those ready made porridges with jam already in them or bits of fruit, they’re yum. We should have a porridge cook off claire for charity or something, that would be well funny! That said, I still stick with the bacon sarnie as being the ultimate breakfast.
OMG – Or hot cornflakes!!!! OMG they are so nice, you have to put the milk in, loads of sugar on top, then microwave for a couple of minutes until the sugar goes crispy. Soooooooo nice!!!
Try it, try it now…..mmmmmmm.
thick porridge with golden syrup swirled into it and cold milk round the edge – cordon bleu cooking at its finest.
You had my on golden syrup and thick porridge and then lost me on the cold milk bit.
The sloppier the better and made with loads of milk (or oaty milk with no moo)- yum! My parents make the mingiest porridge in the world (sorry ma and pa), with water and so thick you can cut it with a knife and a moat of cold milk outside it.
sloppy porridge with honey and some chopped dried fruit is lush!
What the hell is going on down there?
All this talk about sloppy porridge with sweet stuff in it.
Porridge should be thick and only severed with a sprinkle of salt (yes salt).
Heathens
I’m with Elaine on the Golden Syrup (or honey if not available).
Cold milk though ? bleurghh. It needs to be thick enough to stand your spoon up in it.
I was there the day the porridge was made and I loved it so…. Claire wins this one! Although the cat ate the last of mine when I wasn’t looking!
If you made me porridge Claire I wouldn’t complain, I’d be grateful! I’m sure it was delicious!
Chris’s taste buds are just depleting with age!
So… When do i get my porridge? ;o)
Readybrek in the Microwave…quicker!
