think of as oatmeal.

I despise oatmeal in any form, but several people have told me that the
steel cut oats are vastly superior in taste and texture.

I you hate them in any form don't expect them to be any better steel cut. I
like oatmeal in most forms. I like steel cut. I like large flake just as
much. I don't have much use for the quick cooking or minute varieties.

Hello,
I'm new to the group. I've been enjoying your posts for a week or so.

I hated oatmeal for at least 30 years because my mother force fed it to
me every single morning. I had to wolf the gloppy stuff down as I
rushed to catch the bus.

However, I did find a baked oatmeal recipe that is delightful. When
baking time isn't a factor, I highly recommend it.

Amish Baked Oatmeal

1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Warm milk
Fresh fruit &/or brown sugar -- optional

Combine the first 8 ingredients; mix well. Spread evenly in a greased
13 X 9 X 2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350*F for 25-30 minutes or until
edges are brown. Spoon into individual bowls; add milk. Top with fruit
&/or brown sugar if desired.

Happy to be aboard,
Rosey

Such sweeping generalizations!

I was force fed (Quaker) oatmeal as a child along with Cream of Wheat
and other gooey tortures. I probably disliked the oatmeal the least. I
love steel cut oats.

I think tastes are kinda personal. It's hard to speak for others.
Otherwise how do you explain reality shows, professional wrestling,
televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News?

I did manage to get oatmeal palatable - but it involved so much butter,
cream, raisins, and maple syrup that it hardly seemed worth it! With my
1/2 Scottish heritage you'd think I would have the gene.

i do mine in the microwave ..... for half a cup of oats (oatmeal) i use
a mix of about 1/3 cup water and 2/3cup milk i do it in minute bursts
it takes about 4 - 5 mins i stir it each time i take it out . if its
getting a bit solid looking i just add a bit more milk and water each
time if i need to , i like it kinda liquidy and smooth looking .....
when its finished cooking i add some milk a little brown suger and
sultanas or banana or canned peaches depending on what i feel like on
the day . I only eat it in winter and its been so very cold here the
last few days its real oatmeal (porridge) weather

same here, i just can't stand it and whenever I tell people I get the same
response as when I say I don't like mushrooms "you just haven't had them
prepared correctly".

cut them with steel or moon beams or space lasers, they still taste and feel
and smell like grossness..

I learnt this from someone, basically sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on
the surface of a bowl of porridge, then eat that layer of porridge,
then sprinkle another thin layer of sugar on the surface, and eat that
layer... repeat etc. It's quite nice.

I will admit that I despised beets for years until I realized that I just hate
the canned beets of my youth. Fresh roasted beets are heavenly.

Mushrooms, however are the most vile and evil of all substances.

I hated mushrooms when I was a kid. I like them now. They change a lot with
preparation. A lot of people slice them and fry the daylights out of them. I
prefer them lightly sautéed in butter with little salt and pepper and a few drops
of lemon juice.

I used to despise oatmeal. Couldn't choke it down. Then I tried the steel
cut oats. It's not the same at all, texture-wise. It's more like eating
barley or something similar. It's definitely not the gluey stuff that I
always thought oatmeal was.

If you don't like the taste, then it's probably not going to make a
difference, but texture-wise, it's not at all the same.

To me, even the taste is different -- more nutty. Unless it's me
that's more nutty.

Well, I'm definitely nutty. Honestly, it's been a while since I've tried to
eat rolled oats, that I couldn't compare the flavor very well. One spoonful
of that stuff and I was done. Just couldn't get past the texture.
