I have known people to add a pinch of salt to cook it, then sweetener after to eat it , one or two also prefered to add pepper instead of sweetener :confused: Each to their own I reckon :sunglasses:

I’ve had Scott’s Porage oats for breakfast for a long time.I tried salt once,and once only :open_mouth: Has to be a Scot’s thing,but they hedge their bets by saying to use sugar or salt to taste otherwise not many of us softies South of the border would ever eat the stuff :laughing: :laughing:

half milk, half water, pinch of salt… make it about the same consistency as concrete, simmer gently for ten minutes, then serve with milk over and a couple of teaspoons of sugar, ( 'er indoors puts syrup over hers )

14

Brought up on salt as a wean but now it comes with sliced banana on top drizzled with honey… :sunglasses:

15

I always have a small pinch of salt in my porridge I use rolled oats with salt milk and some sultanas for added sophistication ,bung it in the micro wave for 3 minutes ,give it a stir and 1 more minute.

16

Brought up on very heavely salted porridge made by my dad, defo a scottish thing, with copious amounts of sugar on top, it was vile but had to be eaten.
Also what ever was left in the pot, was poured into a draw, then cut up once dried out as oat cakes, thinks that’s also a Scottish thing, remember my gran doing that, both from Glasgow!

I used to make oatcakes with half a cwt.of medium oatmeal when I worked in a bakery.When I started mixing my arms were quite hairy but when the job was done they were not.I suppose that modern bakeries would use a mixing machine.
