You're a crazy Soby! You're one of those New Wave of New Crazies that Pigheads been hearing about. Butter in your porridge?! Bet you also put marmalade in your cup a soups and curry powder in your scotch eggs. You need help.

Don't eat butter, so not for me! I have bananas on top or golden syrup! Yum!

I take some porridge with my sugar.... sometimes

muppetkiller

Butter !! you weirdo..:D
Every morning it's got to be drowning in Honey with Flax,sunflower,pumpkin, sesame seeds and goji berries.. (you can get the whole lot in a mix in Dunnes)

Yep, I've certainly done that. It's an extra creamy delight. Just undoes all the good of eating porridge though...

Thephantomsmask

Raisins mixed in with the porridge while it's cooking so they become juicy and lots of honey on top.

The Hill Billy

Honey & cream. Splash of whiskey if you fancy treating yourself.

Salt and butter is used as a topping a lot in Scotland I think. Have never been tempted to try it though!

Beerlao

butter... ming!

i go for maple syrup, and dried banana and papaya, with a flaxseed and goji berry milled topping. don't tell my mates though or i'll get a kicking!

b_beep

hehe, well Soby I don't think we're freaks!!

Now butter on pancakes, that's another story

The Sweeper

Raisins, figs, honey, milk.

chocolate dots from teh chocolate shop!

butter and rasberry jam might be nice, ill have to try it sometime

Milk and sugar. Cream as a treat. That is all.

emeraldstar

Butter, nooooo...

Weetabix/raisins/sunflower seeds/All-bran/Cheerios/Just Right/Shredded Wheat/any other non-sweet cereal/milk ...just depends on the mood I'm in really. Weetabix and Raisins is my favourite though.

Mixed some pieces of very dark chocolate into it once too, now that was good!


@ b_beep: butter on pancakes is the best!! It's all melty!! :eek:

Faith

Whipped butter is amazing on pancakes, especially when it's quite salty. Mmmmm....

Butter sounds odd but could be OK. It is nice on pancakes/crumpets, and I make pancakes/crumpets from oats. Maybe make thick porridge and fry spoonfuls in butter

Sounds better than tuna smoothies (someone said they made them in another thread)

Well when I'm in Scotland they look at me as if I'm crazy having milk and sugar on my porridge - they go for salt - so maybe you're doing it right after all!

Mr E

When I was in Jurys in Washington DC a few years ago, they had a porridge dish on their breakfast menu where they put some sugar on top, and made a Porridge Brulée out of it (blowtorching the sugar to caramelise/crisp it). Not very healthy, but delicious!

I used to always put salt in the porridge during the cooking process. Never put it on afterwards, though.
