How do you like your oatmeal?
Can you drink your oatmeal, or do you need a spoon?
(How much water do you add?)
in between
Not much, just enough to get it to a nice mushy consistency. I definitely have no desire to drink my oatmeal. Yuk!Originally Posted by saimyoji

Blah the thicker the better. Just a splash of water, that's it!
The opposite is true, however, for mac & cheese!
I like mine kinda thick. Then clean the pot with coffee to add a bit of pulp to the brew.
I also like mine thick. And I used rolled oats, none of this instant stuff. It's worth a little extra fuel ...

I use the Guyot Squishy Bowls. Just turn inside out and lick the last of the oatmealy goodness.

mmmmm!
Instant, just enough water to get it beyond gloppy, add some powdered milk, top with a mix of nuts and dried fruit and dig in!

grits over oatmeal anytime
Conquest: It is not the Mountain we conquer but Ourselves
At home I like it kinda thick with raisins and brown sugar ...but I have a kitchen sink to clean up in aftwards.
On the trail I eat (notice I didn't say LIKE) my oatmeal runny. Don't have to eat it with a spoon and clean up is a breeze. Plus ...I figure on the trail I need the extra water anyway.

The more I learn ...the more I realize I don't know.
Oatmeal: A bit on the thin side with a scoop of vanilla protein powder, raisins, and sweetener.
I like my oatmeal pretty thin and watery, almost more like soup. Especially on cold mornings, all that hot water warms me up.
Now if I'm eating cream of wheat, then it's a whole different story!
I like uncooked oatmeal with milk, sugar, and dried fruit.
Crunchy! I know that wasn't a listed option, but I eat my oatmeal rawwith raisins, dates and nuts.
The Swiss call it meusli. Come to think of it, so do I.
I love the home home-made dry stuff granola, the pre packaged stuff of choice, little marshes, dried cherries, blueberries, pineapples, etc...it varies. cinnimon, cane sugar.
mix it all up and break down in meal bags. heat water and make it thick. sticks to the ribs all morning!
I hiked that ridge Pop told me not to that morning.
Each time out, I see that same ridge- only different.
Each one is an adventure in itself. Leading to what is beyond the next- HIKER7s
I get that instant 1 minute stuff, throw it into zip lock bags along with rasins a little powdered milk and brown sugar and cinnamon. On the trail I add hot water, enough to make it soupy so I can drink it down. No mess, no clean up. Fix my coffee or HC with the remain hot water and I am good to go.
Instant all the way baby. In college instant became Hot Tap water. I was done eatin before the water would even boil!
In winter I heat water. On the AT (spring 07) at nite I'd heat water if I ate oatmeal. For breakfast cold water poured into the oatmeal packet, eat with a spoon. Repeat with next packet. Calories are calories. Got me on the trail much quicker on the rare occassion I ate breakfast before I started walking.
Is a spoon really so heavy that you would consider making your oatmeal runny just to save the weight of a plastic spoon?
