Isn't that bircher muesli stuff just porridge made with apple juice (and yoghurt)? It is in my house (though I cut it with almond milk otherwise it's too sweet). I once used cider because I didn't have any apple juice. That was a good day.
I have also tried orange squash on muesli, faute de mieux - it was at an audax control. It wasn't nice but I didn't care at the time, I just wanted calories.
**Or failing that, if I'm cycling from London to Edinburgh and back, a spot of whisky.
Kippers and custard.
Broccoli with anything.
Alcohol and oats are a good mix - just ask the Scottish.
When I was young, I knew that mixing stuff had good results for morning toast.Peanut butter and jam. NiceMarmite and peanut butter. Fabulous.So I tried Marmite and honey.

Similarly, when I have the full metal breakfast, the eggs must be on the opposite side of the plate from and definitely not touching beans or tomatoes.
Did someone mention Marmite?Can I remind all that the thread title included the words which individually are fine...Marmite does not fulfil that definition

Cauliflower cheese, now that's very OK.

I do a fair amount of seventeenth century cooking. A high proportion of ostensibly savoury dishes are garnished with sugar for instance, which we would generally find weird. But you still find that in some middle eastern or north African cuisines.
