i think that Stanley food cup is 10 years old. man, i bet i have eaten 100bls of the stuff.
i look at the gruel and curse myself. haha..but once i start eating it, i get by. vary palatable. it is very plain but gets the job done and holds back the starvation until 11:30..then lunch.
for the record, eating oatmeal does ZERO to cholesterol. mine is good, but not great. it should be great. "acts like little sponges for cholesterol....." total BS.

I like oat meal. I prefer rolled to the steel cut variety. I also like Oat Bran which is harder to find (Bob's Red Mill has it). drkshdw, you may like oat bran, it's kind of in between oat meal and cream of ____ (wheat, rice, malt, whatever). I also love cream of wheat, malt-o-meal and cream of rice which are all about the same.
I grew up with regular quaker oat meal with butter, milk and sugar.
I've since used brown sugar, maple syrup (real) and honey for more flavor.
I've stopped adding sugar 99% of the time. I also stopped cooking it. I add water and yogurt (real stuff with live cultures and no added sugar) to the raw oatmeal and let it sit over night. It's yummy that way. I'll usually add fruit and possibly a spice. I mostly do berries, straw, black, blue, rasp... Sometimes I'll include cardamom with the berries or cinnamon. I've also done banana and some nuts which is tasty.
For something savory (oat bran, never tried it with oat meal) I'll add a little butter, some soy sauce and some cheese.
I've also tried adding egg, bacon (cooked and chopped) and sauteed onion and that's also tasty.
