I’d say that I prefer the steel cut, because I can flavor them however I please and use them in other stuff (cookies, bread, fillings, haggis, etc.). But I’ll take instant in a heartbeat if that’s all that’s available.

So do you prefer steel cut or the instant variety?

Alex, you warmed my heart a little with that last comment. Ha ha ha.

I love me some oatmeal, especially in the winter, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.

But キノコのリゾット風 oatmeal? Gross.

Oatmeal can be consumed in two ways: As a sugary breakfast cereal, or in the form of delectable cookies. All of that nonsense on the back of the Japanese box? Gross.

If I ever see a Korean version of Quaker Oatmeal Chijimi, I’m leaving the country. Gross.

(Doesn’t all of this make me sound like the most intolerant person? Sheesh. I thought I was pretty open-minded! Gross.)

Nicole and Clay need Gravatars. Come on guys, join the party. It makes you so incredibly trendy. I’m so cool it almost hurts. Actually, it does hurt. But just a little.

Michaels – you don’t know what you’re missing out on, buddy. Oatmeal rules. Having said that, fear not a lynch party – fear a watershed moment after a conversion attempt. Mwa ha ha ha. (Also fear sardines and umeboshi in oatmeal. Gag.)

^ Bbb-b-b-but, b-bb-bbbut, it’s so GOOD. That is, when i’s not served with umeboshi and sardines.

I’m running low on my supply, I may have to send out an SOS fairly soon.

Oh dear, I sense an oatmeal love-fest developing. Not good, considering I detest the shapeless, tasteless gruel. (Don’t beat me up.)

Ha ha ha – Alex – what are you grossed out by? Ha ha. There was some delicious content in there too. Or are you simply not an oatmeal fan?

Clay – I actually love it raw too. When I’m low on time I have been known to eat it the same way. I prefer it cooked, but it’s basically a wonderful cereal any way you look at it. (Ok, excluding some of the above mentioned recipes.)

to this day I prefer oatmeal sugared, uncooked, with cold milk. I remember as a kid my friend’s Japanese mom was greatly concerned that I had corrupted her son with this abominous version of cereal.
