Porridge

[Lewis]

A follow up from the fantastic kit kat thread, although I have probably made this post before. Perhaps newer members have better taste now

Well obviously I eat it the sane and delicious way, adding milk and salt to some nice warm porridge. Sadly many people have been fooled into animalistic, disgusting habits with their porridge... like putting sugar into it. I shiver, truly.

Sadly I have low expectations for you all :(

Well, salt or sugar? That is the question.

Got to have sugar in it, sorry pal.

[Neversoft]

Don't like porridge.

[Ekelektra]

Never heard of putting salt in it, sorry but I like porridge sugary

[MightyMagician]

How am I supposed to take this post seriously when the word porridge is misspelled on that box?

[Sloths]

Ew why would you put salt in it?? Obviously sugar is best!

[Samantha]

I don't have sugar or salt in it :P.

[Absently]

SUGAR!

[Lewis]

I don't have sugar or salt in it :P.

Better neither than sugar!

Best I could find for you my friend

"Mr Baren also answers an old question over the spelling of ‘porridge’. If you buy Scott’s oats the packet tells you you are eating ‘porage’. This is a word made up by A & R Scott in Glasgow when they launched Scott’s Porage Oats in 1914, and combined the old Scots word poray with the French word potage."

Also historical variation in spelling apparently

I posted this in a fit of rage that apparently my way of eating kit kats is "controversial" :(.

There is no right or wrong way to eat things unless you're putting tomato ketchup through your ice cream, I fully agree.

edit: my god I googled this and it's a thing... sincere apologies to tomato ketchup ice cream eaters on the forum

[Stephen]

See there you go again this time accusing those nutty ketchup weirdos of wrong eating
Although I agree with that

btw has anyone ever dipped toast into SWEET porridge? I used to eat porridge at night and got into dipping toast when I was feeling extra peckish :)

[RuthOnToast]

Have golden syrup in mine so i guess thats just sugar

[Sho]

Neither, I add raisins and raspberries to mine

[Matt]

Salt in porridge, what. I've never heard of anyone doing that. Surely it would taste disgusting.

I put honey in mine :)

[Charlie]

I have neither. I used to add sugar to it but then I stopped because it made no difference. I can't imagine adding salt though, seems weird.

[.:TaylorSwift:]

I've tried porridge last week. It was one of the worst thing I've eaten. I would suggest Cream Of Wheat if anyone doesn't like porridge.

[nat965]

Salt would just be weird and disgusting especially for breakfast. Sugar, or honey and the tiniest amount at that.

[Lewis]

It's very much a scottish thing to have salt in your porridge. Many here seem to think it'd be disgusting, but you ought to try it if you haven't before. You may be pleasantly surprised - you don't know until you give it a taste.

I have found my life meaning, mission and goal - to promote the delicious wonder of salted porridge!
