He wrote a

It doesnt have a very tasty reputation, either. Im here to try and convince

20、 you that porridge isnt boring and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.If youve never eaten it (although you probably have), porridge is a type of food served for breakfast. It is usually a type of grain, like rice or oat (燕麦), mixed with either mi

21、lk or water, and often heated up. It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so its a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.Porridge preparation-the amount of ingredients (配料) and cooking timedepends on what you choose t

22、o use as your porridge base. If Im cooking for myself, I put a very big handful of rolled oats in a saucepan, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. I stir the porridge constantly, and it takes about five to ten minutes to cook.Once its cooked, the fun part is a

23、dding the flavors. Porridge alone doesnt have a very strong flavour. Although some people think this makes porridge boring, I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paperyou can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Greens, nuts and dried fruits are very

24、 healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you dont like these, or youre allergic, then honey and chocolate are also very tasty options. (Just dont add to much!)One of the best things about porridge? You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both a

I couldn
