Porridge is my favourite staple diet. I have been breakfasting on oatmeal every morning since my childhood.
In Russia rolled oats come in packets with the name Hercules on them. Truer words were never spoken! Power. Vigour. Energy. These, certainly, will be filling you up in the morning. It's said that porridge digests so much longer that it is no wonder you feel well-fed and full for a longer period.
However, there can be some nuisances about the product itself. Judging from my own experience in making oatmeal porridge for my breakfast, I must admit that I am extremely picky in choosing this or that product.
As for me, it is important that porridge oats come whole and half flattered, just rolled, but never cut nor fine, nor mixed with other types of grains. I once bough this trend – Hercules (traditional) – and got disappointed with its bitterly-sour taste.
I adore any types of oatmeal, be it either insipid or sweetish in taste, boiled on water or milk, or topped with dry or fresh fruit and nuts. But I hate it when it proves otherwise as is seen in a story at a glance, the blog entry on WordPress website which is over 6 years old. The story was narrated by Trevor, a British retired man who enjoys blogging. If you read his story you will see what I meant in my comment on his blogpost:
It’s great that you shared your story of changing your taste for oatmeal. There could be varying reasons for this. The one you mentioned is the “synergistic” effect of taking certain medications at that time, which could be the case.. Another option is that, perhaps, over the years, your body has begun to develop an aversion to lactose contained in milk. And this was expressed in the sour taste as such. To add more, oatmeal producers may have changed the procedure or started adding either dietary supplements or other additives, or wheat granules. As for your wife, she might be tolerant of a change that then had no consequences to her, which is unlikely to you.
In conclusion, I'd like to add that to satisfy your taste buds is not as easy as it seems to be. Sure as you are in your habitual food's taste, it doesn't always come the same as you used to expect from it.
Thank you for reading my ramblings. )))🤭
