Treacle in Porridge

[Canardly]

Watched a Yorkshireman put treacle in his porridge during a camping trip. How common is this? Seems to be a thing in Yorkshire.

[Basil]

I often add some Golden Syrup once it's in the plate, but not treacle.

Blackstrap molasses is good. Stronger / less refined taste than treacle, plus gives you more nutrients.

Golden syrup is (light) treacle.

Lots of things in porridge are good.

Slab of dark chocolate at the bottom.
Marmalade
Syrup

Etc.

David's just topped cold, abandoned breakfast porridge with 10-year-old golden syrup...

[Jaded]

Drool….

I was educated that porridge should be put in a drawer, then slabs cut out to eat.

[Pickled Onion]

Peanut butter in porridge.

Srsly, try it.

[Wowbagger]

Dark muscovado sugar.

I make porridge with soya milk (unsweetened, because apple juice*) & water, roughly 50/50. Jumbo oats are best.
I then add honey.
Result = muchly good nommage!

* Mrs W is allergic to apples. We discovered that soya milk is sweetened with apple juice (as are many other foods) after she developed mysterious headaches .

[Wowbagger]

I also prefer jumbo oats. This morning, since we are staying Chez Dez, we were relegated to “Oatsosimple” withe a bbd more than 2 years ago. Very Dickensian.

I use oat milk, unless I feel like some cow milk, in which case it is full fat. I add some mixed seeds (flax, pumpkin and the like) while cooking, and some olive oil, and perhaps a chopped apple. I sweeten it with date syrup, honey or jam.

[hellymedic]

I put home-made mirabelle jam on the other half of the dispossessed breakfast porrid and ate it cold, to David's chagrin.

I am from Yorkshire. I like treacle. I like porridge. I am yet to combine the second and third elements.

I have certainly encountered those who erroneously term Golden Syrup (around and among which porridge belongs) "treacle", so I'd like to query exactly what adorned the aforementioned Yorkshireman's porridge. Just in case.

I forgot, I add seeds too. I make a not-quite-random mix of pumpkin, sunflower, chia, flax, sesame and poppy seeds and keep it in a Kilner jar.

I had porridge with dairy milk recently, something I used to eat daily. After many years of non-dairy milk it was mingin'. Just shows how tastes can adapt.

The black stuff as far as I know. I will check. Pat Dickinson (Sheffield) bivvying/camping videos U tube. (Course I can't find it now. He def has Golden Syrup on one of his vids but I am pretty certain he uses the black stuff in another which surprised me, hence the question).
I could well be mistaken. He refers to treacle 'in his pocket warming up' but it could be Golden Syrup.
