See, now you're talking! Generally I have porridge as-is, except around Christmas when you can buy brandy cream, and a dollop (or three...) of that on it sets you up for a cold winter's day!Quote:

Like the idea of the brandy cream. That'd work well:)

I'm not Scottish either, but I love porridge, have it every other day for breakfast.Quote:

I'd have been fat as a fool if it weren't for all the fell walking.
Then when I was thirteen I stayed at a farm in a place called Skene, just outside Aberdeen. Every morning it was porridge, with salt in it, and no sugar allowed. It was just plain wrong. :(
Honey's better than sugar in porridge, as it infuses into the mix better and imparts a much nicer taste.
You're funny with the things you consider as "posh". Even back then, I was no stranger to croissants (and pain au chocolat too, as we regularly travelled to France)...:eyebrows:
'Coco Pops', and such like, were for when mum was feeling lazy!:D;)
One of my favourite breakfasts back then was melted Emmental cheese, with baked beans, served over a nice slice of crusty Italian bread. In fact, I must relive that experience again sometime soon!:)

Came here in 34” waist jeans, leaving in 36” waist (planned ahead). Will watch what I eat for a couple of weeks when I get home & drop the added weight back off. Mexican again tonight [emoji846]Quote:

When we go on holiday, we tend to have 'splurges' of big meals, and then switch to salads or sandwiches for a few days, as we quickly get fed up of eating rich food, day in, day out - plus we do a LOT of walking and exercise in between meals. Otherwise, you just feel bloated and uncomfortable:cool:

As is traditional under (otherwise my waistband would be just under my armpits)Quote:

A nice cottage pie?:)

Lol... You'll probably be working it off, with all that 'horizontal jogging' you'll be doing with your lady friend :bonk:;)Quote:
