Is Porridge a Desirable Thing to Eat?

Stupid auto-correct. Why does it hate the word “grits”?

I’m more concerned about how you have me confused with anemone. I don’t look anything like her.

Don’t oats lower colesterol ?

Me, too. I often put oatmeal in my yogurt, or even eat oatmeal with cold milk, not bothering to heat it up. When I cook oatmeal, I tend to eat it savory, with an egg, hot peppers, that sort of thing.

Yep, savory! That sounds yummy!

If it’s not too hot or too cold, then yes, it’s desirable.

Even it’s was made two days ago. Or even a week before that?.

Though only when made with legumes vs. grain, of course. And of course it may be enjoyed regardless of the temperature.

I prefer the maize variety of porridge myself (with butter, salt and pepper).

Can someone pls. translate for me: is “maize porridge” akin to what Southerners (U.S. of A.) call “grits?”

Oatmeal and Cream of Wheat are delicious - I usually make a nice breakfast on the weekends (pancakes, or waffles or bacon and eggs) and one of the options in rotation is home made oatmeal with fresh fruit - everyone (including Junior) really enjoy it.

I imagine a yellow cornmeal porridge my Puerto Rican grandmother used to make. It was very thick and had whole cinnamon sticks in it.

Who eats raw oatmeal? My point being; when is oatmeal referred to as “oatmeal”?

I guess if we’re going to be extra nitpicky about it, oatmeal would be milled oats, so the while porridge made from rolled oats or steel cut oats would be “oat porridge,” only porridge made from oat flour or some other form of ground oats could precisely be described as “oatmeal porridge.”
