In days gone by Scots mothers used to save a kitchen drawer to pour a large amount of porridge into. Once cooled and set it was then a reliable and inexpensive way of providing a nutritious breakfast for the family across several mornings, served in slices like cake.
Fun fact: often it was salted rather than sugared.
I mention this because I am starting experiments today with my own porridge mixes, seeking a less fatty start to my day than my 'Breakfast of Kings'. I won't be sacrificing a drawer for it but it has been a fine and tasty experiment so far (Blueberries and touch of ground mixed spice).
Anyone have a particular set of porridge flavourings they enjoy?
