Porridge

[xkejjer]

oh yeah yeah bla bla do we have to be politically correct in food as well now? bla bla yeah yeah

[Petch]

A failure to communicate maybe.... porridge on its own is disgusting, add milk, or, sugar, butter, honey etc... and it is yummy, if you don't agree, you can tongue my testicles.

[xkejjer]

they're probably tastier than porridge...

[Sperge]

its fucking horrible, if you serve porridge at any mediterranean restaurant in any mediterranean country you'll get projectile vomiting on the waiter's sorry face as tips. thats not food, for fuck's sake. we're used to succulent rabbit in wine sauce, fillets of beef in pepper sauce, buttered duck and that kind of shit, not porridge. yuck.

Well luckily porridge isn't restaurant food then isn't it. It's a fuck load of stodge full of goodness that keeps you full for fucking agers with the better kinds of energy. It isn't attempting to be fine dineing that would just be silly.

Have you been to Scotland in the winter, xkejjer? If you did, you might understand why they eat stodgy food like porridge.

Mind you, that's still no excuse for deep-fried Mars bars...

[xkejjer]

i've never been to scotland no.. but fried mars bars is something i'd like to try.. i must stress that i dont give a shit about healthy eating andd as i'm a sweettooth, i would liek to see how they do them.

i know theyre very easy to make, but on the other hand i'd like to try it in scotland for the first time.. it might be a nice thing to do, going to scotland for 3 or 4 days after next year's glade

[ferg]

have you ever tried buckfast xkejjer??

[Efflux]

yummy, only had buckfast once, but I remember it being very sweet.

[leah]

polenta... not wildly dissimilar yet those plucky italians seem to cope very well. and in restaurants, would you believe?



(i could have found a more appetising example, but i am lazy so i got it from wikipedia)

Norman Stanley Fletcher, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences — you will go to prison for five years.

[xkejjer]

polenta despite its measly original state (some corn) develops into something much more tasty than porridge, for fuck's sake.. if you have eaten both and havent seen a world of difference your taste buds are fucked, my friend.

that said, its not even near the top list of good food anyway.

If you ever go to St Albans Station, go up on the bridge and across the road you can see the gates from the front of Slade. How exciting. You probably even touch them if you were so inclined

Corn > Oats

Porage with golden syrup > Rice with stuff added > Polenta with stuff added > Mashed potato with stuff added

I wouldn't eat polenta for breakfast but I would eat porage with golden syrup for a meal. That's the deal clincher right there

[xkejjer]

seriously fucked up taste buds then..

no wonder the english aren't well known for their culinary insticts and traditions

That's ridiculous. We have ALL the culinary expertise. We stole everyone else's recipes!

PS I think porage is probably a Scottish invention.

Porridge oats were eaten by neolithic peoples 5,000 years ago. Respect the ancient foodstuff.

So were insects and rocks I suspect. 'SPECT.

So that's your excuse for eating bugs? I always wondered...

[xkejjer]

they ate porridge cause they didnt know how to make the beef in butter sauce gravy with a side plate of potatoes filled with cheese and mushrooms though..

[SunburnedCactus]

Or maybe they didn't want to go to all that effort

Everyone knows that cro-magnan man invented filoux pastry.
