Oats made into a breakfast meal by boiling ~ very filling
Scot's porridge oats
Bill
kinda like oatmeal then? i eat oatmeal every day for breakfast. do you put anything on in? butter or sugar? salt and pepper? fruit?
can do ~ but not all at once
My preference is a little bit of salt, but I also know that a spoonful of jam stirred in immediately before eating is really delicious.
GG - you can find out more about porridge from the link below. Please take particular note of the 'Traditions' section - very, very important!

To be honest, porridge is a little dull (sacrilege?), so why not go the extra mile and treat yourself to a bowl of Atholl brose.........it is fantastic, you get your oats
, whisky and honey all in a single dish.

That will banish any jetlag blues!
I fear this information is a trivial distraction from your thread, as I've hijacked to highlight some Scottish wonders(?) - sorry! Hope you have a great trip to Cyprus.
