lazydaisy Mar 2013 1:19pm, 15 Mar 2013 3,276 posts	Quote Pin lazydaisy I used to use proper oats (Tesco Scottish mainly) which I added water to and then microwaved for a couple of minutes. To serve: add a splash of milk (in those days, semi-skimmed) and a spoonful of Tate and Lyle's Golden Syrup. But then I got sweet-talked by Quaker oats Oats so simple, Golden syrup variety...it tasted nicer, I could use the packet to measure out the "right" amount of milk (skimmed, nowadays)...I was hooked sobs for forgiveness from proper porridge eaters

Latterly: nutritional breakdown of Golden Syrup Oatsosimple compared with Tesco oats per 100g Carbohydrate 66.6g versus 60.4 of which sugars 21.5g versus 1.5g (!) Sodium 0.5g versus trace
HermanBloom Mar 2013 1:33pm, 15 Mar 2013 2,862 posts	Quote Pin HermanBloom Need to do plain oatsosimple versus Tesco oats really. With diagrams, and a proper conclusion. On my desk by 3pm.
