THE NATION'S FAVOURITE - PODGY PORRIDGE!
This recipe is one that I have been making for ages at home, however, this particular recipe, is the one that was published in The Nation's Favourite Food cookbook, a poll run by the BBC to "capture" the Nation's best loved and top 100 recipes - the Nation being the Great Britain. Jo Pratt is the author of this recipe, but, I have tweaked a bit here and there, to my own personal tastes! Enjoy a bowl of Podgy Porridge on a cold and wet winter's morning! I have added a Non-Podgy version at the end of the recipe as well!

Steps:
- Place the milk in a large, non-stick saucepan and bring to the boil. Briskly stir in the oats, honey, cinnamon and salt.
- Bring to a very gentle simmer and cook for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is cooked, add the cream or milk and stir until heated but not boiling. You will now have lovely, rich, creamy porridge.
- Spoon the cooked porridge into warm bowls and, for ultimate extravagance, drizzle with lots of sticky golden syrup, honey or sprinkle with brown sugar.
- NB: If guilt takes over and you don't want to go the whole hog, try a less podgy version of the porridge using skimmed milk. You can add extra milk in place of the cream at the end of the cooking time.

Steps:
- For the barley porridge: Gently bring the milk and barley flakes to a boil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then cover and cook until the milk is almost absorbed and the barley is super soft and still a bit creamy, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sugar, butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- For the toppings: Meanwhile, roughly smash the raspberries with the sugar in a small bowl with a fork.
- Divide the porridge among 4 bowls. Working around the edges of the bowls, make neat piles of the toppings, placing a quarter of the crushed raspberries, apple sticks, pistachios and chia seeds in each bowl. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon milk and sprinkle with some cinnamon to finish.

Tips:
- Use a variety of oats. Different types of oats, such as rolled oats, steel-cut oats, and instant oats, have different textures and cooking times. Experiment with different types to find your favorite.
- Add flavorings. Porridge is a blank canvas for flavor. You can add anything from fresh fruit and nuts to spices and chocolate. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Don't overcook the porridge. Overcooked porridge is mushy and bland. Cook it just until it is tender and creamy.
- Serve the porridge with your favorite toppings. Porridge is delicious on its own, but it can be even better with a variety of toppings. Try adding fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Porridge is a delicious, versatile, and healthy breakfast option. It is a great way to start your day and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a porridge recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give porridge a try.
