Porridge is horrible, god only knows what it is like with the other great 'good for you' con of the last twenty odd years or so. That combo must be from the very bowls of hell. Leave it for the Bee's to drown in. I don't wish to come across as a breakfast cereal terrorist but the only acceptable cereals are Rice Crispys and normal straight forward Corn Flakes 'OK' is that clear!<br />No such thing as fond memory's about bowl graters like Wheetabix or sphincter destroyers like Brand Flakes.<br />Great if you are about to annex the Rhine Land, but not for a relaxing Saturday morning British breakfast.<br />You have managed to touch my digestive system with your nostalgic, meandering trip down the lower bowl at breakfast time.<br />Thanks!<br /> <br />Alanakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744011665584141409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391010622090130583.post-81654914235540572522010-12-05T18:24:23.204+00:002010-12-05T18:24:23.204+00:00I have porridge every morning all year round unles...I have porridge every morning all year round unless I am away - Premier Inn sometimes does a good one but not all their branches are consistent in the making of it.<br /><br />Like you, I grew up on Ready Brek - loved all the different flavours. I came to love porridge in late adulthood.<br /><br />We weren't allowed much of a cereal selction when I was a child - mainly cornflakes, weetabix, sugar puffs.BMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10170990556792563715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391010622090130583.post-51651436524784549152010-12-02T18:17:47.443+00:002010-12-02T18:17:47.443+00:00We had variety packs as a rare treat.

Special K were like small, tasteless, light-brown cornflakes.<br />I have porridge every morning- its good for cholesterol & very warming in this winter weather.lloydyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00783940730733792148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391010622090130583.post-31407308933142244342010-12-02T15:25:53.452+00:002010-12-02T15:25:53.452+00:00Sugar Smacks were scrummy.

May have been Lords and Ladies or could have been with the Kings and Queens you spoke of. They looked ripe for painting in a lifelike fashion but it never happened. There was also a series of Dr Who cardboard characters on which you could fold the bottoms to have them stand up and make displays. Oh, and not forgetting the Aristocats in Spoon Size Shreddies (it may have been another cereal but that is how I remember it). Wheetabix was only limited to cardboard gifts given that space was almost fully accounted for. Why don't they create gifts for us more mature children? I'm sure we could be very easily swayed if offered the right prize.ianmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334117318300583593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391010622090130583.post-63763260664398479212010-12-02T09:48:09.196+00:002010-12-02T09:48:09.196+00:00Steve Bishop commented on Facebook:

Den made me porridge yesterday ... same as you not had it since a kid... and same result (though I had it with rhubarb and ginger jam), so Den is doing so again today. Yummy<br /><br />Den's having hers with "Scrumpy marmalade"... she has run out of her Strawberry and Cointreau jamakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744011665584141409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391010622090130583.post-64603302577357329842010-12-01T19:08:39.504+00:002010-12-01T19:08:39.504+00:00Andy Bickerdike commented on Facebook:
