I had a Ukrainian roommate who would boil buckwheat groats and mix it with an unhealthy amount of mayonnaise and ketchup and it is better than you expect.
When I was younger I would go through an entire box of Cream of Wheat (a brand of instant wheat porridge) in a week. It’s way better than regular oatmeal.
Well, the brown sugar and apple cinnamon varieties are. Plain cream of wheat is absolutely vile.
Oats are the worst grain to make a porridge from. Rice, millet, buckwheat, maize, and wheat all make much better porridges.
(shoutout to redlemace whose post made me think of this)
This take is so hot, really though, where did the groat hurt you?
Explain yourself, are you using whole or flaked grains for porridge?
Also barley, am I a joke to you?
I love a groat, I just prefer a buckwheat groat or a millet groat to an oat groat!
I mostly use whole grains.
I don’t know that I’ve tried a barley porridge but I’d get one before an oatmeal for sure.
C’mon @combatwombat, we need answers!!
Sorry I was making a delicious millet porridge
Millet? Well now I’ve heard everything
Man buckwheat? That’s a hot take indeed, big upvote from me

That’s a fairly low bar to clear …
