A few days ago I decided to try using up our quick oats since I was hungry, in a hurry, and craving oatmeal.
Big mistake.
I could barely stomach a few bites of it! How on Earth had I grown up eating this slop? I guess I've just been super spoiled these last few years -- my favorite hot breakfast cereal is steel-cut oats. They take about 30 minutes to cook but they're so nummy!
This new-found problem is quite an issue. On the PCT, nearly everyone eats those packaged quick-oatmeal for breakfast. That's one of the staple diet foods. I can't even stomach it for one sitting so I absolutely cannot eat it for six months!
That being said, I'm going to do some experimentation on steel-cut oats, Bulgar, quinoa and flax, millet... I'll have to do some more research, I'm sure.
I'll be sure to let you know how things progress.
Cheers!
