Lab 10,979 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 it is i buy it. especially in the winter. you can buy easy to cook sachets,but i prefer the old method. only f*****g time my old man ever cooked was to make porridge lolMy old man used to make porridge really thick... like the consistency of cement! ... And sugar wasnt measured by spoonfulls.... It was a few (a lot) of shakes from the sugar pot.... If you didnt eat it quick... it would cool down... and be too hard to eat .... They used to keep it in a special draw once it had cooled down and hardened and eat lumps of it throughout the day up there! Yip....was poured into the bottom drawer when my grandad was a kid and chunks were cut out as 'treats'...lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
