    Aside from being overkill, why drain milk from porridge? That's where most of the protein is.

    I was cooking it in the milk and then draining the liquids (water, vegetable broth, as well as milk). When I go to drain the liquids it's hard to separate the milk from everything else. Next time I make porridge, I will add hot milk after everything has been drained and see if it affects the taste or not..

    Hot a target at you, just my thoughts ;) How do people eat porridge with water - yuck. Porridge is made with milk and nothing else lol. Also never hear of using veg broth.

    I have a Ukrainian buddy that cook's oatmeal in water, then adds cottage cheese and sour cream and finishes it with some butter, salt and pepper. Actually it's very good, in a weird way lol. Cheers

    and anyway OP isnt cooking oats- she is cooking lentils and barley

    As she noted, 'porridge' wasnt quite what she meant - at least not as most of us understand it.

    Pottage on the other hand is a thick soup, semi stew, made of vegetables

    and copied and pasted The two terms are used to describe meals. Porridge, in its classical meaning, mainly refers to the original English oatmeal or other porridges made of grains. Pottage is widely used in Nigeria and many other African countries, mainly as a synonym to porridge. Both porridge and pottage in Nigeria mean the main dish
