In Scotland we make porridge with water and salt. For the North American’s: how do you make your oatmeal?

Not milk and sugar.

I don’t know the difference between porridge and oatmeal - but how do you make your oatmeal?

I am European. I make my oatmeal with sweetener and hot water. But only so much water that it is a porridge in the end.

I eat the same as @GEDchill: flavored oatmeal (strawberry or peach) with milk. I make mine a little soupy. I used to add sugar, but I’m trying not to since reading @Leaf’s post about her nutritionist visit.

I use Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal and cook it with water for 3 minutes in the microwave. Then, I sprinkle it with a handful of raisins, and a few shakes of cinnamon, and then put in two tablespoons of white table sugar and pour a cup and a half of milk over it, stir it up and enjoy. Absolutely delicious!!!

I think that instant, flavored oatmeal tastes just terrible by comparison. I live in the U.S.

I get boxes of oatmeal from the food pantries so I keep them in a plastic bag. But usually I make it with water or milk in flavored oatmeal.

Instant? Because I keep reading bad things about it.

Regular is great for you though, lots of fiber and a few other good things.

I use water for my oatmeal. Damn, it seems like I’m the only who puts butter in it! I also use brown sugar; if I’m out of brown than I’ll use white. I used to put raisins in mine but raisins are expensive.

I haven’t had oatmeal in a long time, but I use milk (to make it kinda soupy) then add brown sugar. Very good.
