    I came in here just to draw horse comparisons with the thread title, Onyx. Glad to see you beat me to it!

    I'm a porridge lover. When I was younger my mother would serve it in the winter on big dinner plates with loads of sugar in, so it was over-sweet and cooled quickly. I have yet to understand the point! I like a big hot bowlful now with very little sugar.

    DS has it most mornings, no matter what the weather. He usually has hot porridge (no sugar) followed by "cold porridge" (ie oats and milk, no cooking), then maybe weetabix and/or toast, then off to Nursery for second breakfast.

    LOVE IT!

    I always count down to our first frost as it's when we start eating it! I know there's nothing stopping us eating it beforehand, but you know these silly things we do sometimes!

    I'll have it with anything- honey, banana, dates, cinnamon, tanas, stewed apple or pears, (how DS has his!) or just with brown sugar and milk. It has to be runny though!!! And once it's cold, it's done for

    Love the stuff, winter or summer and all seasons in between! Me with 50/50 mix of water and milk and sultanas and DS1 with milk and honey. It is the the ONLY food DS1 is guaranteed to eat in full.

    Love it!

    I like it thick and make it with milk, no water. I have raw sugar or honey on it.

    Gross!! Ewww...!!!

    If horses eat it - I don't. Same goes for hay, grass (including things that look like grass, ie alfalfa), and anything else horses eat.

    Big fans here. Weather doesn't matter..

    I love it for daycare when the kids have to go early as I can cook it the night before.

    Love it! pinch of salt bit of brown sugar, made with milk not water so it is rich and creamy. I used to have a timer switch on the slow cooker and have it in there with chopped up pears. It would turn itself on at about 4 or 5 am and be just right by brekky time!!
