I used to but have found quick oats do the job and work well in the microwave. I add a blob of butter not pepper and salt.

Honey and dried fruit in porridge!

Mrs d00d does the breakfast everyday: porridge (no salt, pepper, honey or sugar), grapes, blueberries, one prune, one semi dried apricot.
I do have a little honey (no milk) in my mug of Assam.
Its no myth - that was my father’s only way to have his porridge. But I’d guess it is moving towards a myth as my own preference is with honey…

Honey and seeds go in my porridge each morning, but my daughter reckons the squeezy honey I buy from Tesco is crap and I should be using proper honey from the farm.
