Did you hear the one about the two journalists and the bowl of porridge? No, we’re not talking about a hilarious joke; we're talking about Foodism’s staff writer Jordan Kelly-Linden and travel editor Lydia Winter , who this October represented your (read: everyone's) favourite food magazine at the annual Rude Health Porridge Championships.
The premise was simple: each publication was sent a range of the brand's porridge oats and non-dairy milks, given a time period to create and submit a recipe, and then battled it out, MasterChef -style, at the Good Housekeeping Institute in central London.
Foodism's effort brought in the spirit of our newly launched beer club , cooking the oats in Wild Beer Co.'s Millionaire (a chocolate, salted caramel and milk stout) with a touch of milk and cream, and finished off with maple-candied pancetta, thyme and salted caramel pecans. 'A Millionaire’s Morning' came in a beery respectable third, behind Women's Health and Sainsbury's . Bring on 2019... Want to give it a go? Check out the recipe below.
