Oatmeal Porridge

Oatmeal porridge is made in several ways. The most usual plan is to boil the water with a little salt in it, and scatter in the meal with one hand while stirring with the other; then, when thick enough, to set it aside to simmer for from 20 minutes to an hour. An easier way to make it is to put the meal in a basin and pour cold water upon it, to stir it smooth, and then boil it until of the desired consistence.
Cold milk and either salt or sugar are generally served with porridge.
