The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[smittims]

Thanks, I found that interesting. I know he's popular here for some, and I've never hidden the fact that I dislike his voice and manner,so this is a welcome move for me, as I don't listen to In Tune but do occasionally hear some of 'Breakfast'.

I felt he had a straw man when he said 'you have to know the rules before you can enjoy it '. I don't think anyone has said that except to defend dumbing-down. And I think he's quite wrong to say there's no point in playing a 35-minute symphony on 'Breakfast'. He cannot know what 'most people' are doing . Many may indeed want to sit for 35 minutes and listen at that time, elaxing over a coffee before they start their day. So as far as I'm concerned it's goodbye and good riddance and apologies to the Trelwany fan club if I spoilt your breakfast.

I noticed particularly today - i.e. not for the first time - that we might expect 'shars' later in the day. There is also a new kind of concerto, the 'concerto for vahlin and orchestra'.

I shall miss him.

It would be nice to round off his stint with an attempt at Cambois ……

I was listening kb …… as the Squire’s reign comes to an end it has been interesting to listen, after the weather, to his attempts at certain Northumbrian place names. Yesterday for the first three efforts we had for Bellingham as Bell-ing-ham before on the fourth getting very close to, the correct, Bell-in-jam. It would be nice to round off his stint with an attempt at Cambois ……

Well, we had a complete work (Bach Violin Concerto) before 7 today. Someone's listening....

Doesn’t mean a thing to me - I was recently quite surprised to see porridge on the list of junk foods - I can’t think why organic oats, water and a smidgen of salt for the cooking of it in the microwave with a squirt of honey and a little skimmed milk would be deemed to transgress the ‘not good for you’ boundaries.
9 Health Benefits of Eating Oats and Oatmeal

• What are oats?
• Nutrient-rich
• Antioxidants
• Soluble fiber
• Improve heart health
• Lower blood sugar
• Promote weight loss
• Benefits to skin
• May reduce childhood asthma
• Constipation relief

They were wheat flakes, nice flavour and texture, especially when cereal for us normally meant economy cornflakes.
The issue with porridge is that food manufacturers have hi-jacked an innocent and healthy item to churn out versions that are less healthy because of the added ingredients. In the overall scheme of things they are probably still preferable to the likes of cornflakes and rice cereal as the base is (mostly) whole grain, but better still would be the traditional oats and liquid cooked, with optional(and ideally not too much)salt, sweetening etc. - in other words what most of us would recognise as porridge. Instant porridge that is just the grain, without added sugar/salt wouldn't be included in the junk food list, even though it is more processed than 'proper' porridge.

Yes - crazy isn’t it - I guess it takes no longer to prep from raw ingredients (5 mins ) for something much healthier and probably tasting better.

I thought junk food was eaten exclusively on flat-bottomed sailing vessels in the Far East.

[cloughie]

I think it only rates as 'junk' if it contains additives - sugar, salt, preservatives, flavourings &c. These would be branded products rated as ultraprocessed. Just the raw ingredients are fine.
