Breakfast innovations.
A thousand years ago, people decided that porridge was for old people so they re-invented porridge and called it Readybrek. It made kids grow Osmonds hair, wear parkas and become radioactive.

Then porridge came back into fashion for lazy, gluttonous morons but because this is the 21st century and people are too fat and thick to cook, they re-invented Readybrek but called it Oats-so-simple and charged people twice the price because it is for grown ups. It doesn't even make you radioactive.

Conclusion: 21st century gluttons are more gullible than seventies children. And seventies children bought the fucking stylophone.

breakfast should be savoury, except for fruit and maybe honey or jam.

I often add a handfull of barley flakes
and always dried fruit (usually sultanas)

Always microwaved but it must all be soaked overnight

Is this your way of saying you'd like a bowl of Readybrek?
The stuff tastes like wallpaper paste.
(, Fri 29 May 2009, 8:35, archived)
I just had the leftovers from Baby Shambles' bowl.
It still tastes like porridge. It still has the consistency of wallpaper paste.

Although modern instant wallpaper paste doesn't have the consistency of wallpaper paste. Confusingly.

I like porridge mixed with muesli.
Much cheaper to just buy plain oats and then make your own muesli. And you get fruit and nuts and crunchy bits. Nom nom.

I like
Dried cranberries, sultanas, figs, pumpkin seeds, oats, a fresh banana and a fresh cubed apple. I prefer it with natural yoghurt to milk.

Yoghurt is good in summer if you're not having it as porridge
but I like milk for my porridge. :D

No, wait, I am right. I get a discount on those red letter days too, so if I didn't buy one and just wanted to borrow one for the day it'd be cheap too.

I had a Stylophone when they first came out
and my mother used to buy porridge from the local shop by the pound in brown bags. I don't like porridge. I do like Stylophones, but only a bit. David Bowie famously used one on Space Oddity. A Stylophone that is, not a bag of porridge.
