have you ever liked eating oatmeal?

I've always eaten oatmeal when I was young. I also introduced this to my children from the time they could eat solid and they all like it. Aside from the milk and sugar that we usually add, we sometimes put powdered chocolate like milo or ovaltine. You may also want to try it with some fruits. I am glad you discovered oatmeal because it lowers your cholesterol and is good for your heart.

When I was younger I used to like porridge, which is basically oatmeal cooked with water and served with milk. In Scotland, where it is a traditional dish for breakfast or supper, it is often eaten with salt and no sugar but I prefer it to be cooked with a pinch of salt and served with brown sugar. It is an excellent, warming winter breakfast dish. I had an aunt who spent many years in Switzerland and she introduced our family to Bircher Muesli long before it became popular in the 1960's. Her way of making it was different from the ready packaged cereal which you can buy these days as 'muesli' or with the brand names Alpen, Familia, Granola and others. Here is how I was taught to make it and it makes a delicious and refreshing breakfast: For one serving, prepare the following the evening before: 1 tbs rolled oats or oatmeal 1 tbs lemon juice 1 tbs cream (or unsweetened condensed milk) Optionally, about a tablespoon of sultanas or other dried fruit Mix well and allow to soak overnight in the fridge. In the morning add the following: 1 large whole apple (skin and core)finely grated milk to adjust the consistency (this is necessary especially if dried fruit was used) optionally, a tablespoon of mixed nuts or seeds (such as hulled pumpkin, melon or sunflower seeds), about a tablespoon of any other fresh fruit and a little sugar or honey to sweeten. The original recipe has no sugar: the fruit is considered to contain enough. Uncooked oats really do need soaking overnight. If you use rolled 'quick' oats, this is not so necessary. Uncooked oatmeal contains phytic acid which prevents the absorption of some important minerals. This is removed by the steam process used to make 'quick' rolled oats and also by the process of soaking overnight in lemon juice so it is important to either use pre-softened rolled oats OR to soak uncooked oats overnight with lemon juice (and it does no harm to do both).

For me it depends on the oatmeal. I don't eat those instant oatmeal packets as they are already full of sugar. I don't like my oatmeal mushy or sweet. I like the steel cut oats. I also don't add any sugar or milk. I add some butter and sweeten it with molasses.

My mother loves eating it but I never liked it. Although now it comes with different flavors, maybe that would taste good.

I love oatmeal. As a kid, I would always ask my mom to cook aotmeal for our breakfast. Iam now married for 20 years and I still love oatmeal specially in the morning.

The benefit of Oatmeal are due to the fact that its made from oats and oats is made from a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. according to the American Cancer Society, Insoluble fiber's cancer fighting properties,are due to the fact that it attacks certain bile acids,reduing their toxicity.

I have always enjoyed eating a bowl of oatmeal. Hot cereal is very nutritious for your body. My favorite way to eat oatmeal is with maple and brown sugar. It's a great way to start the day!

Me too agree that eating oatmeal is tasty and a healthful food. Good for people on diet. In my case, I don't go for diet but I like eating oatmeal during breakfast. I used to drink the instant type. I just pour newly boiled water to one sachet and mix it with full cream milk. Sometimes I include fruits in the mixture like banana or ripe mangoes and a set of sandwich.

oatmeal is yummy if cooked well. instant oatmeal is preferable with fruit toppings. bananas, apples, and oranges. oatmeal cookies are the best. i have a little experience on oatmeal cookie business and it made me love them more. every time i visit new bakeries, i would always try their cookies and compare them all. Quaker oats oatmeal cookies as of now is my favorite, for only 11php

If you really like it it's good. Honestly I don't really like to eat oatmeal. But I would be happy to make myself eat oatmeal in the mornings for its health benefits. Keep on eating it as it is one of the healthiest foods.

hello, i absolutely love oatmeal. i grew up eating oatmeal and i have to credit my late mom for this. i like it best with fruit toppings, though i know of people who eat oatmeal with just salt. oatmeal is one of the healthiest food around, it brings cholesterol down, it is good for the heart and the digestive system. it is not too often that we get food so good and so nutritious at the same time.

I agree with you. I was like eating oatmeal right from the first. When supermarket, food shortage is not oatmeal. It was wonderful. I was found on the Internet the use of oatmeal. I find it not only to eat but also has many other uses such as skin masks, food and special diet that can prevent cancer. So, I advise my family and my friends use it.

I have always loved oatmeal but it has to be prepared from scatch. As in, I don't like the instant stuff that you just add hot water to. It takes like nail polish remover to me and smells like it too. But I do love the oatmeal you buy and have to cook on the stove top. It is tasty and it is really healthy. I always add some fruit to mine or if I have no fruit in the house I will use some jam. And of course I also use milk. It's funny how we think we don't like something only to try it and realize we like it after all. I know this is the case with liver, for me and my daughter. When I was young we were made to eat liver and hated it, but then when I grew up and was on my own I started to like it for some reason. My kids didn't care for it when they were growing up but I made them eat a little every once in awhile because of the iron content in it, good for you. Now my daughter loves it and actually prepares it herself. We have a place together, my daughter and I, and she makes it about once a month. So yes, it's funny how we think we don't like something and then try it again later in life, to find out we like it after all.

yes, i like oatmeal very much... it is healthy and light... lots of fiber and prevents the tummy from bulging...overall, oatmeal is a good food.... especially in the morning... the first meal of the day...

I have try oatmeals few month ago but I don't like the taste. I usually eat tasty Asian food so its feel so bland in my tongue. I have try to many way to make it more tasty but its never suited to my taste. If you O blood type its won't work on your diet, try high protein diet.

I used to hate it because it was mushy and yucky for me. But as time went on, I realized that it was really good for my health and I stuck with eating it. Now, I don't have any trouble eating it. I can't say that I like it but I just gotten used to it.

I've always liked oatmeal....the weird thing is I like eating it cold lol

Not only is it good to have oatmeal but it actually helps contribute to weight loss. The best rich taste you can get from oatmeal is when you add cinnamon, honey and milk to it. You can use ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks. It is definitely a good way to start your day.
