Oatmeal

I often joke that British cuisine consists of two component - Lumps and Gravy. Each component has two different types - there are crunchy lumps and chewy lumps, and gravy has both brown and grey varieties.

Even the worst unidentifiable British food, however, is better than Oatmeal and its many imitators and derivatives. In this list, I'm including both farina and porridge and several others.

These things all taste the same - it's a not-quite-flavorless mush served warm. Occasionally, with enough sugar, you can make them marginally edible. But it's not something you'd do by choice.

So, yes, I dislike oatmeal.
