Middle outwards i would say, but unless you faff around and take forever to eat it, would prob be minimal difference.
..............So middle outwards

Au contraire young Adrian.

During the 7-8 minutes it takes me to eat my porridge the temperature changes from 'burn your lips off' to 'could dip your todger in it'.

(No jokes about getting your oats please, I've already considered and rejected them).

No frost to report from the Lincolnshire Fens

A bigger problem will be an early frost in the American Corn belt

Anything hot as to be eaten from outside inwards, if the outside is just bearable the inside will be waaaaaaaay too hot to eat

I also prefer my porridge more solidified than runny

Whilst porridge is cooking I like to put chopped prunes etc into it

Another good addition at the moment would be to put some brambles in whilst cooking, even better they are FOC

Does that mean I should invest in pork-bellies?

FOC- Full of calories?

FOC free of charge.....just go pick them of the hedgerows currently

After the late drilling of the main corn crop because of the bad floodings and continuous rain the crop is way behind on development,  so early frosts will only damage any yield potential

Chinese are big buyers of pork currently after suffering large losses to swine fever

We're big on foraging at Trev. We've just harvested our sloes ready for Xmas gin.

We found a nice wild plum, or bullace tree as well, the fruit is almost ripe and we're trying to time our move so that the birds don't beat us to it.

Excellent find Tom

Mushrooms will be next, nothing like the taste of wild over cultivated

Don't get many of them up here Red, but once had to warn some tourists picking the 'damsons' which were actually Blackthorn berries, or sloes, which we get a lot of. Would have been a really bitter bite.

Used to get so many mushrooms we would dry some for soup in the winter, farmers are fertilising the fields now and it seems to restrict the mushroom growth, we only get a few now.

Yeah, you need a good old cow pasture and unfortunately the dairy herds are in decline

Like the sound of drying to make soup, never had the pleasure

I like raw mushrooms sliced on to my salad.

Aye, the fields are cow & sheep pasture, but fertilised in spring to encourage better grass growth, when they were just used for sheep and no fertiliser used the mushrooms were abundant.

We put fresh field mushrooms into old tights, then hung them from the kitchen pulley.

Can find sloes where I am also for the Xmas gin, now if anyone could get hold of a kilo of wimberries for me to make a mucky mouth pie I'd love you forever.

What is a Wimberry? It sounds like a song by Karl Denver.

Wimberry is a new one on me as well. We stopped making sloe gin, found a well sweetened sloe vodka the ideal hipflask tipple for a cold winter.

Edit, bilberry or blaeberry up north of the wall. Never found enough to bother with a pie though.

We make more sloe vodka than gin these days too. Mrs Red collects little fancy bottles throughout the year and we give it away as presents.
