Steel cut have more texture, but I don't know that the flavor is any
better. It's certainly more like eating a grain dish than a bowl of
goop, which some of the instant kinds can be.

I like mine with butter and maple syrup, and bacon on the side, but I'll
take brown sugar if real maple isn't available. The trick is to not
drown the cereal in sugar, just give it a hint of sweetness.

Sometimes I have oatmeal for supper, particularly if my stomach is upset.
