I love porridge but have always made it with milk ( in the microwave ) and served it with honey. Mr. Slater makes it traditionally with water and salt ( ugghh ) and serves it double cream and jam ( more like it ! )
A spurtle is a thick wooden stick purely for stirring porridge and would you believe I have a spurtle! I couldn't resist buying one when on a bike trip around Scotland last year. Mr Slater says he has been using his spurtle the wrong way round, a discovery he made when he was having a porridge making lesson - but Mr Slater you don't tell us which is the right way !
Apparently one is supposed to stir in a clockwise direction " lest the devil gets you ". I have discovered I naturally stir in anti clockwise direction and so kept forgetting to stir the correct way . Oh dear.
