Disappointing!! Too sloppy for us.
Gave this porridge a good try but it was always sloppy no matter what I did and although using a very large bowl often overflowed in microwave! Paid a little more for Tesco Scottish Oats and FAR better and as porridge should be. OK for people who like very watery porridge. Birds were happy to have the remains of the old porridge though!
DISAPPOINTING
It wasn't great quality. A bit coarse. Didn't thicken well. Took longer to cook. Rather than persevere and finish the packet, I threw it out after trying it 3 or 4 times. In my opinion the Aldi equivalent is a better buy at the moment.
Too much work
They don't porridge like Tesco porridge or other branded oats do. In and out of the microwave many more times to turn into a workable porridge. Not a substitute, won't be buying again.
Great taste and texture. not slimy or gloopy
the best porridge they do, not slimey, starchy. has a nice texture and if cooked the way i do it is far superior to more expensive brands. Shame it is out of tick forever it seems. Best way to cook (i don't eat cows milk) is to put some in a bowl, pour in some boiling water, just enough to make it so when mixed up as a stodge it is all wet. add any sweetener/sugar etc.. at this mix stage (I use sugar free "english toffee" drops from the skinny food co.) then place the bowl of stodge into a microwave for 2 minutes. take it out and pour on Oat milk (or what you prefer) and using a spoon chop/mix it in to the consistency you prefer. This method also prevents the porridge from rising over the side of the bowl in the microwave. I also have it with banana, strawberry and other flavours. no sugar required.
Waste of money
Normally buy the Tesco Scottish porridge oats but couldn't get it in my local store. Struggled with this porridge as it didn’t want to cook in the microwave. Won’t be buying it again.
I will have to shop elsewhere if you are not stock
I will have to shop elsewhere if you are not stocking any longer then end up buying more items.
Breakfast isn't the same without it!

Poor substitute for the more expensive oats
Not good at all. No matter how long I cooked them for, on the stove or in the microwave they just don't soften and the more expensive oats do. I dumped them after the third attempt.

Love this product.
I always always buy these oats and I love them. However on the last bag I purchased, I found a tiny green plant stick in my oats. A little disappointed now as I wanted to continue buying these oats.
