Sorry, it’s nice enough sweet but salted (only) is better.

We’re about seven posts away from someone popping-up to insist kippers & Marmite with lashings of ghost-chillies is the ideal flavour for porridge…

We are into the panto season, so I’ll let you get away with that

Make porridge, serve, add evaporated milk and lashings of brown sugar. Dont need adverts to sell me that bowl of delight.
In the meantime burger joints can’t advertise their burgers but can advertise their brand name. Am sure Burger King are shitting that restriction.
Salt when cooking porridge, yes. I’ll even venture necessary, it enhances any sweet flavours added.
But salt as the only flavouring? Fuck that noise. I’m not a 12th century monk, I don’t need to punish myself.
Current fav is a banana sliced overtop with some cinnamon. Sultanas cooked with the porridge to plump up is nice too. Maple sugar is god tier

Oh yes, a little salt is good.
But as the only flavouring, No!

Salty porridge just about sums up panto season for me…

Used to have sultanas of swing with semolina.
Another thing that got lost to the 70s

You used to get sultanas in Vesta curry in the 70s.
I suspect there was a sultana mountain somewhere so they put them in everything

Yeah, late '60s/early '70s my Dad used to make what he described as a “curry” and he always put sultanas in it.
Tasted fuck all like any curry I’ve ever had but he reckoned he used to make it for the troops in Egypt when he was in the Catering Corps. I wouldn’t be surprised if he killed more of our men than the enemy.

I sometimes still make retro “British curry”with sultanas and chopped apple added

Yep, when my mother makes curry it has sultanas (and sometimes, very occasionally, apple) in it. I never used to like it much vs regular British curry, but have grown fond of it, especially with left over Christmas turkey.

It’s always some kind of left over roast when I make that style of curry.

Raj-style curry is proper comfort food - I still occasionally make a mince-based curry with boiled eggs in; that always has sultanas in
Until about 1980, “curry” was anything that you threw some generic curry powder into. Or a Vesta meal.
My first visit to a highstreet curryshop was a mind-blowing revelation

Still make it. Technically what I have is farina rather than semolina since it isn’t made with Durham wheat, but it’s pretty much the same thing.
Getting a lump in it is like finding a nugget of gold

Salt in porridge? Fuck off.
Butter in porridge? Fuck off with the salt wanker and then fuck off a bit further.
Sultanas in curry? Fuck off back to the 70s.
Curried mince with sultanas? Fucking hell!
