I don't think I've ever had porridge. Though from the sound of things, it seems somewhat similar to grits or cream of wheat.
And if that's the case, butter and salt all the way.

You people who put salt in porridge are freaks you hear? Freaks! Renz you're not Scottish so stop being stupid. It's a sweet dish and ffs how can you never have had porridge?

I've led a tragically porridge deprived life. Unless it goes by another name here, I've never even seen it offered up anywhere for me to try.

Oatmeal. And if you've never had oatmeal, then you really have led a tragically deprived life.
Is it too late to change my answer from golden syrup to golden shower?
edit: Wait ... that doesn't sound as funny as it did in the script.

In my (Scottish) opinion you do need a tiny bit a salt when making porridge, but it's terribly easy to get the measure wrong.
However, that's a
completely different discussion to what you have with it after it's made - salt (or butter) would be horrible. Plain milk is just fine, but there's a certain perverse pleasure to having some cornflakes with it (don't knock it until you've tried it)...

Oatmeal. Oh. I agree with SE then. What kind of sicko tasteless bastard puts salt in unsweetened oatmeal? It's all about the brown sugar and apple chunks.
SubJeff on 27/5/2010 at 21:54
So you've had it then? Wtf is up with YOU people and your wrong names for things? French fries, crisps, chips, pants, fannies, oatmeal, gas (its a LIQUID!!). Sheesh! AluMIIIINNNIIum!
I bain't never be puttin' no petrols in my car no sir not in a month o' Abraham Lililicolns.:mad:
And I don't put anything in my porridge that appreciably alters the texture so no fruit, no cornflakes (you sicko), just honey or if I have to sugar/syrup. But milk and honey, because that's the land I come from yo.

One of the guys where I live makes our porridge.
He uses groats, boils it up the night before then puts it in a big polystyrene box wrapped in a duvet.
A pinch of salt when cooking it makes a big difference btw, just as you put a pinch of salt in with a cake/biscuit mix but it's foul to add it after it's been cooked.
Butter and honey for me. The butter melts and you get this lovely golden liquid butter with porridgey goodness.
There was a big fad for tahini in porridge here but I never really got it.
