Scottish Elises

This is a very serious thread

It follows from an in-depth discussion amongst Jock7ers (most noteably a certain Jason Liddell

) in the pitlane at KH last year, and in a little more detail (but still very inconclusive) during the run down to Autosport Show in January in my RS6

Now, since the original discussion, I have since become very partial to porridge (Scott's Porage Oats - accept no substitue) - a proper breakfast in my view - heated in the microwave with milk, and a liberal dollop of raspberry jam stirred in prior to consumption.

Talks of Coco Pops, Cheerios and the like got seriously dismissed by Jason without a moments thought, so careful with any suggestions/preferences.

And remember, this is facking serious

Oh, and btw, BCA = Breakfast Cereal Analysis

Anything that changes the colour of the milk is just plain WRONG!

I'm going through a purist phase at the moment... unseasoned (ie. no suger or raisins/banana/other fruity carp additives) Cornflakes. I've done Bran Flakes in the past, but any food that *intentionally* affects your body's workings must be treated with suspicion

.... - heated in the microwave with milk, and a liberal dollop of raspberry jam stirred in prior to consumption

Hmmm.... purist approach but with a 'modern twist' in the preparation

I gave away my Scotts Porridge Oats to my MD as the wife didn't like them and prefers Oats so simple instead.

I on the other hand think Porridge is paper mache, and is utter stodge. However i know it is good for you!

My BC of choice and has been for the last year is Fruit n Fibre, and i have to say prefer Sommerfields version to Kellogs.

Porridge is defo king but needs to be cooked slowly in a pan and consumed quickly before heading out on a 2+hr cycle nothing keeps you going like it.

Special K

They said if you have 2 bowls per day, you'll loose 1 jeans size in a fortnight... I wanted to loose 2 jeans sizes, so had four bowls per day....

Oatibix bitesize (full size ones go soggy too quick) with a sprinkling of raisins on top.

Keeps hunger locked up 'til lunch!

Sounds good! I use to like ready brek (with loads of sugar).. they still make it?

I used to eat weetabix....one at a time with only a dash of milk to get them moist! Just how i like em!

No sugar mind as that ruins them.

As i kid i loved Ready Break and used to throw in hunners of Demerara sugar!

Was only allowed coco pops as a treat. Choco crispies my ar$e!!!!!

Variety is the spice of life in our household.

Depending on the bowel habits of the Mrs and I, we go for branflakes on a fortnightly rotation with something a little more exciting. My personal fave are Cornflakes of the Crunchy Nut variety. Cheerios have been consumed in the past, but my anti-Nestle purchasing side won't allow them to be bought.

'Oats so simple' ain't bad, but porridge is clearly a winter food. However, having one's morning oats in a pre-packaged, "Stoats porridge bar" is acceptible for year-round consumption

Very true - but sometimes time is of the essence, plus that's just more dishes to do!
