New food waste collection

I feel a poll coming on!

You mean a spurtle.

 

[Archev]

How did you know I'm wearing a skirt?!

Have you hacked my CCTV?

He’s just jealous

Now for the big controversial question : is that with , sugar, salt, syrup , fruit or neither? along with all the other pathogens. I feel a poll coming on!

All of the above if it’s what you fancy. I’m in my blueberry porridge period just now. A handful scattered on top and a wee splash of soy milk.

Will there be a popcorn option in this poll?
Rolled Oats are for Anzac cookies, that's about it as far as I'm concerned, doesn't get cold enough here to warrant a hot breakfast that would sit on the gut for the next few days

You can make great flapjacks with them!
Or use them in a crumble topping.
Porage oats are not just for breakfast!

I haven't used salt or sugar in porage up to now.

Normally, I just use milk of the cow, mostly fresh, sometimes sterilised, as I'm one of those weirdos who likes the taste. Sometimes I use almond milk.

Rarely, I might add a few sultanas.

We’ll happily accept some of them cookies thanks

It all works for me. Porridge with crispy fried chopped onions was interesting in Singapore. A sprinkle of pinhead oats on boiled potatoes just as they’re served adds a wee bit of the old jinysaykwa

I'm hoping if I keep eating this stuff I'll end up looking like the fella on the front...

He needed those muscles to hold up that mobile phone !

 

[securespark]

Come on, are you trying to tell us you haven't been playing dress ups pretending you're the fella on the oats packet ..... as for hacking your CCTV some images can never be unseen, I have no intention of subjecting my nice new post cataract surgery lenses to something that even my eye specialist can't fix

Anyway, it wasn't a skirt, it was a...it was a...hang on... (frantically searching the internet), yes, yes! Got it! It was a Welsh kilt.
So there!

Had to look that up .....

 

[securespark]

I thought a spurtle was a small spurt...

Point of order and a touch of pedantism. Since 2017 under EU law (we were in the EU and still retained) it is not allowed to call it milk, 'cos it ain't milk. The word should have disappeared from all advertising and packaging.
I also saw oat 'juice' being made on TV and thought why does anybody pay shops prices, it was so easy and cheap to make yourself.

I was stuck at almond milk, where do the put the teats on an almond, but now Oat milk, seriously ...... maybe they just missed the "G" goat milk I can understand .... not that I'd ever drink it
Good, wholesome, Lactose free milk, straight from the Aldi Long life carton .... and that goes in the whirly heater thing from Aldi to pour on top of the Aldi machine pod coffee, the green capsule ....what ever the name of that one is ..... This segment was brought to you from ...... Mannum

You’re correct- it says unsweetened soya DRINK on the carton.

My wife has started using Almond " milk" and its around 95+ % water. Wat-er rip off.

Almond milk is horrible stuff, I tried it by accident last year and it nearly made me sick.

 

[securespark]

It depends which one you have.

As with lots of food comparisons, some are much nicer than others.

I bought two large flat white coffees from a Maccas in Lithgow NSW, and they used almond milk One sip and I was forced to visit the bin to dispose of the remains ... fortunately only the contents of the cups and not my egg and bacon Mcmuffin and large chips
I drove up to the local Woolies and bought a carton of long life Lactose Free milk and asked if they could make me two large flat white using that instead .... they actually gave me them for free because I couldn't drink the other stuff, I left them with the remains of the carton.
Next morning, turned up with my own milk again and the manager came over and said he tried a flat white using that milk and really liked it, so they were going to upgrade their menu ..... seemed strange actually, it's been available at every other Maccas I've been to ..... they do make good coffee ..... and chips ....

You get the option of chips with your breakfast at McDonalds?

You're right it is. Basically to make any of these you put some of the base ingredient (almond, oats etc.) in a blender, add water and a few drops of oil (olive, veg etc) and blitz. Then drain the gloop through a filter to allow the white stuff to run out.

The manufacturing process makes it sound even worse than it tastes.

Nah, on a par in my books ..... yet again I'm back to the age old question, why?
