Rice Pudding Made With Horlicks

[Whitespirit66]

I think its what students do for food. Fill a drawer with porridge, let it set hard, then break bits off as required.

Bit like a large flapjack then?

Salt is traditional as it's a preservative and helps keep the porridge fresh in the porridge drawer.

Had a quick gander in the Howdens catalogue, but couldn't see that any of their kitchen ranges had a 'porridge drawer'.

What in heaven's name is a porridge drawer?

It's a drawer in which porridge is kept

I will try and remember to see if they have any in stock in McBea&McKeoghs next time I'm in.

Very traditional to make porridge with a tsp of salt in the pot. Tastes much better with it. (ye dinny put it on after it's made,,, that wid be jist plain daft)

I put it on after it's been made. How would it taste different if you put it in before it's made?

 

[OwainDIYer]

because if you put the salt in the water when making the porridge, the saltiness permeates into the oats.

just like cooking pasta or rice.

But it still tastes salty, and it all goes down the same way!

Have you ever boiled potatoes , without putting salt in the water before boiling them? Bloody tasteless when they come out. You just can't put the salt in to them afterwards (just doesn't taste the same) Same with porridge. Add the salt when your making it. You'll taste the difference.

OK, I'll try that.

Does it also work for the packet ones where you just add milk and microwave?

No, I have a wife to do that. You don't have a dog and bark yourself.

Another one here for salt in the milk before adding the oats....Then serve with honey and a double shot of Scotch.....The cheap supermarket stuff for cooking mind.....Oh and semi skimmed milk, I have to take care of my health..

The Rice Pud with Horlicks sounds great, I'll try it!

 

[JBR]

I might try it with a drop of scotch as well. Never thought of that.

A friend introduced me to porridge made with soya milk. I didn't like the idea when she mentioned it but being polite I agreed to try it.

Makes very tasty porridge. Worth trying.

blackberries & a sprinkle of sunflower seeds, served very thick. Quality!
