    Each to their own I suppose,but a bowl of porridge always looks to me like it's already been eaten once.

      Very slowly cooked in a saucepan on the hob. full fat milk (a dollop of cream if there is any about) and sweetened with a tablespoon of honey. Over the last couple of years the favourite is Sainsbury's 'Pay The Difference' line. For the previous 40-50 years it was Quaker's Scotch porridge Oats.

      P.S. Anyone got a good marmalade recipe for a first-timer?

        George Lloyd swore by it, I seem to remember - said he couldn't even contemplate working on a symphony without a good steaming bowl at the start of each day.

          I'll copy your post over.

                      Slightly off-topic, but I believe I read that in the Highlands in days when crofting was a way of life for many, porridge would be cooked in bulk, tipped into the drawer of a kitchen cabinet and allowed to solidify. Children were sent to school with a slice of porridge.

                      I don't believe I've invented this but wonder if anyone can confirm this historical anecdote.

                          Yes I read that somewhere a long time ago. Tipped into the drawer? Let's hope there were no bits of wood in the porridge or was the drawer lined with something ?

                                It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
