You may object to sugar on porridge, but I rather like honey, raisins and nuts in mine.

I'm not a fan of sweet things for breakfast in general (though I used to be, interestingly). Raisins and nuts, though, I can imagine working. A variety of textures is always a good thing.

Last winter, my breakfast consisted of porridge at least five days a week. I experimented with various options. I've always thought of porridge in religious terms, for some reason, so here are my recipes with suitable religious labels:

- Calvinist porridge: oats, water, salt. Not bad, actually.
- Episcopalian porridge: oats, water (70%), semiskimmed milk (30%).
- Liberal porridge: Episcopalian plus a small handful of top-grade fruit-and-nut muesli (Jordan's for preference)
- Anglo-Catholic porridge: Episcopalian plus jam (blueberry is really good)
- Argentinian Catholic porridge: oats, semiskimmed milk, spoonful of dulche de leche (awesome, but very very sweet)

I'd also you try smoked-salmon-and-scrambled-egg on toast next time you have a small amount of leftover smoked salmon to hand...

The 2008 Polar Hero breakfast is a portion-size sachet of Alpen, made up with Nido powdered milk and hot water, and eaten out of the sachet to avoid washing up. The 1958 Polar Hero breakfast was Weddell seal's brains on toast!

Oh, and I found a recipe for porridge a few months ago by an English chef, who said that the very best porridge was made with single cream. He did say, however, that the chief pleasure in making it was that it *really* annoyed his Scottish wife...

Barlow's Favourite Breakfast

The morning after a really good party: A large glass of stale red wine with the last cigarette in the packet (along the side of which you've drunkenly written the word "breakfast" to ensure you didn't smoke it the night before).

Bliss...

Bliss for a smoker, perhaps...

The original South Asian version of that is pretty good too :-)

(part of my on-going series of experiments to determine if there is any foodstuff that is not improved by the addition of tom yam. Mmmm, lemongrass).

Depends how hot your mixture is, I guess, but I can't think of anything either ;-)

Yes, I imagine it is - I'll have to try that some time :-)
