Brown Sugar......................
No - Nothing to do with the Rolling Stones.
I discovered a packet of soft dark brown sugar in the kitchen cabinet yesterday, and had a sudden urge to make some porridge.
More memories of Horsham in the early 60's came flooding back.
That lumpy stuff we were served at breakfast with a big dollop of that gorgeous sugar in the centre was a real 'comfort-food'

We still get it!
It forms a third of my breakfast, although the portions they serve are horribly small (sigh).
In case you're wondering, the other two thirds consist of whatever the cooked option is, as well as two Weetabix.
Very enjoyable, and a nice way to start the day, especially in winter (the porridge with brown sugar).
Tis very rare for Grecians to make an appearance at breakfast - this morning I was one of five or six of 120! I have occasionally been the only one....
The state of our nation, I don't know...

cereal, sure, it comes out of packets. i doubt even Fairfield could mess that one up. the toast was usually dire though. hardly rocket science to 'cook'.
...but the breaktime -self-made- toast was heavenly. still light and soft on the inside, golden brown and crusty on the outside. lashings of NPO butter and a covering of marmite........mmmmmm.......

I lived in Ghana from 1969 for 4 years. You could not buy granulated sugar only lump. The story was that during the war they had had a very bad consignment of granulated sugar from the Congo with lots of impurities, and the whole country had turned against it. I wonder whether they have relented now?
Lump sugar on porridge in the morning is a very strange concept!

Errrrrr.....!
My feeling for school cereal are not covered by the verb, 'to detest'. And yes, school bread is only edible once toasted and liberally doused in NPO butter. Beautiful.
