big pat of butter... And real butter, dammit.
Yeah! Why the hell isn't butter an option on this poll?
We demand butter!
...and Angelina Jolie. Screw Cameron Diaz. (Or rather, don't screw Cameron Diaz - Blech)

Salt on porridge? Ugh. I have milk and honey on mine with some cinammon sprinkled over the top. Beautiful on a winter day.

Birch syrup (which sounds really ghetto, I know)
I swear I read this as 'bitch syrup' the first go round. I'm not entirely sure what porridge is, aside from a breakfast food that appears in quaint fairy tales, but I eats my corporate trademarked Cream of Wheat with butter, sugar and cinnamon, and a chopped up banana.

I can´t believe that after years of lurking, reading on the job, wasting labor time, of all things a porridge-thread made me register and post a reply. But porridge is just a too fundamental topic.
In short:
- milk --> UHT-milk, 3.5% fat, avoid watered down, low fat, additive pumped disgusting products
- sugar --> white, standard granulated (consistent particle size - at least 92% greater than 250 microns of which no more than 2.5% of crystals are larger than 1.0 mm)
- oat flakes --> only trust these: (
www.koelln.de), remotely comparable to Quaker oats
Nothing else needed Period

UHT milk? But... but that's just DISGUSTING

Not dispelling any stereotypes about Germans, there. :D

Yeah, I know. But you gotta face the facts.
1. It´s better than water. How can anybody prepare their oat flakes with water. That´s just...sick.
2. There is this problem with fresh milk: you are standing in the supermarket asking yourself if you have enough milk at home. You decide you haven´t and buy some fresh milk. You come home and notice you already had enough milk. Now you have way too much milk. And now it´s a race against the expiration date. You wash your face with milk, you water your plants with milk, you invite all the kitties from the neighborhood over for a drink.

Actually that was from the "british sugar" homepage (
http://www.britishsugar.co.uk/) http://www.britishsugar.co.uk/. Our products --> Standard sugars --> Granulated sugar
Sounded more precise than just "refined sugar". A shame I had to visit a british sugar homepage to find the appropriate accurate description of a suitable porridge sugar. :D

You could always freeze it. ;)
Though this can make it a bit nasty if you leave it for too long. I find the milk separates a bit so you get some watery crap at the top and more concentrated milk at the bottom.

There are a few things you just DO NOT DO.
Like taking a leak in your neighbors mailbox while drunk at night and desperately looking for alleviation.
Besides, where to put the milk? My freezing space is taken up by pizza. The 3 P´s of fundamental nutrition: Pasta, Pizza and Porridge.
