Porridge has long been associated with Scotland, but how long have we been eating it? How should you traditionally make it? And does it taste better if you make it with milk?
A quick tour through the history of porridge, and the different ways you can make it.
Porridge
Ingredients
40g oats
195ml water (or milk)
Method
1. Mix the oats and milk in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
2. Stir with a spurtle or wooden spoon. Allow to simmer for 5-6 minutes until the porridge has thickened.
3. Serve your porridge on its own or with your favourite topping.
Topping suggestions:
Sprinkling of brown sugar
Honey
A drizzle of double cream and fresh fruit
Banana and chocolate spread
Maple syrup and apple

Here in the states we call it oat meal. I just call it Oats, but from now on, "porridge." Now I need a spartle.

I love steel cut oats. Before you go to bed, add the oats to a wide-mouth thermos. Pour in boiling water, a pinch of salt and dried fruit or butter if you like. Your porridge will be hot and ready when you wake up! I stir in a bit of cream, half-n-half, milk or oatmilk.

I have experienced oatmeal/porridge in all the ways mentioned thus far. My favorite was when my grandmother made it for me when I was visiting. Heavy cream, two large blocks of white chocolate, dried cranberries or raisins, and cinnamon. Served with a cup of hot tea. Yes. That was my favorite method.

At our house my Scottish immigrant dad made the porridge with water and salt, then let it cool and add a splash of milk. I loved it and didn’t find out until we were older that in Canada most people have it with brown sugar. My friends were mortified when they found out. I like it hot with a swirl of maple syrup too.

I do rolled oats with water 1:3 and salt (taught by my Mum) and I LOVE lumpy porridge (it reminds me of comforting winter mornings in front of a coal fire.) but I'll put in currents or cubed apple and then either honey or maple syrup on it after. To be honest, I can't do dairy.

I've never thought to put double cream on my porridge, but I will, from now on. It's Goldilocks approved, after all! I loved this one. It brings back so many memories. My mother used to get up early, and make me a bowl of hot cereal, of one sort, or another, on cold winter mornings, and it's still one of my favorite breakfasts.

I've always made it with water (250 g water + 30g butter + raisins & 50 g rolled oats + a little cinnamon) so fairly close to your 1:5 ratio. Combine water, butter & raisins; bring the water to a boil add oats & cinnamon and let it simmer until the water is essentially gone, then milk and dark brown sugar. A good start on a cold Canadian winter.

I was brought up on it made with water and salt. Nowadays I go half water, half milk and that’s pretty good. Top tip though is not to pour cold milk into your bowl or everything is cold in no time. Put some milk in a cup on the side and then dunk your spoonful of porridge in en route to your mouth. Then you get the hot and cold contrast with every mouthful instead of everything just being lukewarm.🎉

I don’t have any connections to Scotland but was brought up with so called Haferbrei. Haferbrei is the same as porridge, using nearly the same 1:5 ratio, fine organic oats (cut not rolled) and water, pinch of salt. I like my Haferbrei a little bit more stiff, a bit of cold milk added to the bowl, one spoon Demerara sugar and a bit of cinnamon on top. I am using a silicone spatula for stirring to prevent the sticking to the pot, takes 15 minutes to cook. I start with less water and add a bit more as time goes by. Sometimes I am adding dried berries (blueberries, raspberries, chokeberries) while simmering my Haferbrei.

We have oatmeal/porridge nearly every morning. I have always brought my water to a boil before adding my oats. And I add a generous amount of butter also to the water. I let it boil for 5 or so minutes. Then divide it between my hubby and I. I only add sugar to mine. My hubby adds monk fruit, a little jam, pumpkin pie spice, protein drink, and has even added chicken bouillon. It just depends on his mood of the day. I have never liked adding milk to my oats.

I don't like hot cereals but I made a discovery about two years ago that blew my mind. Overnight oatmeal. Equal parts oatmeal and cold milk, dash of salt and what ever type of sweetener you like. In the fridge over night and ready for breakfast. Nice and cold and not gummy. You came add anything else you like such as fruit or cinnamon. Thank you for the recipe in case I change my mind.

Awesome. When I was going it was my job to make the porridge for breakfast every morning except Sunday. I made it with water & then the milk, cream, & Brown sugar added in the bowl to your taste. Sometimes raisins were added. I made it the same when my kids were at home. I saved any leftover porridge for bread. My favourite porridge is Sunny Boy which is different from regular oatmeal porridge.

Growing up we had to eat whatever we were given, but I remember sitting at the kitchen table at least once with a congealing bowl of oatmeal/porridge that I refused to eat. (I think I actually won that small battle!) Now, I'll only eat it if the oats to raisin ratio is roughly 1:1 and it's served with a dash of cinnamon and a splash of cold milk.

I make mine with rolled oats and oat milk. Mostly I put a healthy dollop of peanut butter in whilst they’re cooking and then add berries (whilst cooking if they’re frozen after serving if fresh) and if I fancy some extra sweetness, a wee drizzle of honey. Though sometimes if I have fresh raspberries, I’ll make it with just oat milk and rolled oats, then topped with raspberries and a drizzle of lemon curd. My Granda who was born in 1920, always made his with water and salt but didn’t add anything else to them, my Dad born in 1945 makes his with just milk and no additions.

As always such fun & intriguing info and opinions on all things Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸 Most that know me know how proud I am of my Scottish family before coming to the US, so Id just like to share with anyone who likes, there is so much you can do with oatmeal & still keep it good n tasty. Milk & honey are awesome & some may be grossed out by what I'm about to say but I've even tried caramel, butter & brown sugar & you talk about yummy, especially on a winters day. 😊 Then one time I even put cherries in my oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon & butter after boiling brown sugar in a half cup of water. Believe it or not it reminded me of a cherry coke flavor. Don't knock it till ya try it 😂❤ Also I know some may try nowadays to says it's not that healthy after all but tell my stomach & body & it will tell ya it's the best.

I eat oatmeal every day. While I prefer steel cut oats, I’m now living in Panamá and they make oatmeal so that it turns out like soup 😢. Not so when I make it. For the oatmeal I find here, I use 2 cups water to 1 cup oats. Add salt, sugar or honey, a bit of butter and cinnamon. Before moving, I’d throw in dried cherries, chopped walnuts when I made it. I had a good supply of all that which I shipped down here. It will arrive shortly and then I can make my super duper, extra special oatmeal. Oh yes, I always add a banana and milk to it too. It is my meal of the day. By the way, I have had to use my cast iron Dutch oven until my regular cookware arrives and it has worked beautifully. Who makes lumpy oatmeal anyway?

Add brown sugar and butter because no matter how sick butter is mandatory. My son is the same way. When you're not feeling well nothing else sits as well as 'porridge'.

My granny would be turning in her grave at the thought of milk in porridge!!! And I always remember if I could have some sugar to sprinkle on it and she just sprinkled a pinch of salt on it “ that’s awe you need, laddie.. “

Oats are also excellent survival food. When you're roughing it on the battlefield for weeks fighting those dastardly Brits, it helps to have a meal that's easy, lightweight, preserves well, and nutritious.
