    I do steel cut oats in vegetable stock overnight. Then zap in microwave and sprinkle with parmesan and ground pepper. Top with runny egg over sautéed spinach if time allows. Not sure why, but I prefer steel cut for savory and rolled oats for sweet.

    I like what everyone else said!
    I loveeee curry in everything so curry and cumin, green onion, tomato. I wasn't able to get over it feeling too sweet until I added spices.

    I'm intrigued too... there are so many flavour combos in here that make me say yum, but I just... would put them with rice, or couscous, or something... else? Starting to wonder if I'm missing out...

    I find the squeamishness pretty hilarious, because where my dad comes from, oats are ONLY for savory foods. My dad's family looked on in horror and disgust when my (American) mom cooked them with milk and sugar... :D

    Hahahaha that's awesome! I love how different the world is. :)

    I have a friend who equally doesn't understand why people eat cold milk and cereal for breakfast and not cheese, toast and pastry like where she grew up in Europe. I think diversity is great. It makes us all try new things ;)

    In my case, I just can't fathom how anyone could eat SWEET rice, like in rice pudding! ;) It's pretty fascinating how cuisines vary all over the world, for sure.

    In thinking about this, I think my general assumption is that grains can be sweet or savory. I tend to favor savory for breakfast (most meals), so savory oats (steel cut, definitely), but I enjoy a rice or corn pudding. Even pasta, I love a butternut squash ravioli in brown butter sauce with walnuts, which is on the sweet side, and there are various sweet noodle desserts (kugel, for example).
    Bread is obvious, of course, and there are sweet and savory pies.

    I'm half Filipino and my favorite dish is white rice with sweetened condensed milk and cinnamon! There are tons of sweet rice Filipino desserts! I also eat rice with runny eggs cheese and spam lol. Maybe I should try this with oatmeal too!

    I didn't even consider it until one of my customers mentioned it to me.

    I tried savory oats last night for dinner. I did 2 fried eggs, bacon, avocado and cheese and I was stuffed to the brim for like 500 calories. It was tasty too. Probably leave out the cheese, I wasn't a fan of that. So glad I saw this post.... you learn something new every day
