I love porridge! Not even the cement they used to serve at school put me off it! There's something very special, or magical even about the point where your saucepan full of milk and floating oats suddenly gels together into that yummy porridgey goo. I'll admit that there are some bad oats around. Most of the supermarket stuff can be quite heavy (Melts in your mouth like butter - sets in your stomach like cement). My local Spar had oats from an obscure Scottish mill for a while that were rather lovely - in a plain brown paper bag. I now buy mine from the local organic shop that come from a mill just up the road near Penrith. Traditionalists will be appalled to hear though that I like mine with evaporated milk and Demerara sugar. Yum.

OH eats it every morning, but makes it from ordinary rolled oats.
I don't eat breakfast, but if I did I'd like it the way my aunt used to make it - from coarse oatmeal and left on the Aga all night.

Porridge it tastes of nothing, its texture is disgusting whichever way you make it, it looks like gloop. My daughter loves it.

Since Mr. E. was diagnosed with high cholesterol he faithfully eats his bowl of porridge every morning. This is probably why we are being "warned" that the price of porridge oats is to rise. More people are eating it for health reasons and Mr. Quaker sees a way to squeeze a bit more cash out of us.
Mr. E. insists he can tell the difference between good and bad oats. I like porridge, but not every day.

I like porridge, but not every day. Mix the oats with a bit of water, don't cook it, and then apply it your face as a skin cream. It does.

M&S do a really, really nice (but a bit expensive) porridge thing (one of the cardboard pots where you just add the boiling water).
It's delish.

I LUUURVVVE porridge. Salt (essential!), water, butter, sprinkling of demerara, evap and/or milk.
In supermarkets I habitually buy own brands, which are usually at least as good as the premium stuff, but long since came to realise that own-brand porridge oats are shyte.
Scott's Porage Oats [sic] or Quaker Oats. Food of the Gods.

This is where mine come from (usually). Little Salkeld WatermillIt's nice in that it doesn't have that sour aftertaste that you sometimes get with porridge oats. I see they have a note on the site that their prices will be going up. Odd really, because with the early and prolonged sunshine we had this year it was supposed to be a bumper year for crops?
