I have always thought of Ready Brek as the poor relation! Porridge is very much 'in' as it is a low GI food which means that it keeps you full longer. I sometimes have it with any flavoured yougurt mmmm delicious.

Porridge my Dad all ways said it will put hairs on your chest, being female cant say if he was right or wrong, lovely made with water= low fat then tinned pine apple. Ready made variety is awfull no comparison.

I like porridge better - milk moat and demerara - but I had Ready Break this morning 'cause the kids are refusing to eat it and it seems a shame to waste the pack.

ooooh I love Ready Brek lol. Because of my sweet tooth I add a spoon of sugar before the milk even goes in, then it gets a sugar crust once its cooked. Its my comfort breakfast when I'm feeling poorly. Don't like proper porridge for the same reason I don't like rice pudding - all those slimy lumps urgh !! Maz. XX

Germaine you've made my mouth water - steaming hot bowl of porridge with syrup on top .... yum! Ready brek is ok but I don't think it tastes like porridge and neither does that awful Oat So Simple stuff - it's vile! My porridge has to be made with milk alone (so I don't have it very often now) and has to be nice and thick! Jess - I remember eating the chocolate ready break as a kid and I think I tried the butterscotch too? Kaye x
