Pimp Up Your Porridge

It’s hard to believe but more and more people are talking about porridge online. Yes really!

The Trend

The tag #porridge pops up almost 1.2 million times on Instagram and from the pictures you can tell that much of the interest is coming from people finding new and innovative ways to ‘pimp-up’ their porridge in a whole new way. Social media is definitely playing a big part in transforming porridge from a breakfast staple with an old-fashioned image to the trendiest way to start your day. But this is not just a ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ social media trend. Unlike many other foods, porridge is affordable, easy to make, can be gluten-free and also vegan if made with non-diary milk. Porridge also offers a number of potential health benefits, not least the fact that it can lower cholesterol.

East London's New Breakfast

A Porridge café in Shoreditch now offers a selection of both savoury and sweet porridge made from 11 different grains along with a wide variety of toppings. Other cafes are offering a huge choice of toppings ranging from berries and pecans to coconut and peaches. In fact the pale base colour of porridge makes it the perfect blank canvas for almost any toppings, from vibrant berries to nutritious nuts & seeds. So, if porridge is now firmly back in vogue then you’ll need some suitably stylish tableware to do justice to your pimped-up presentation. We’ve selected some items which we think are perfect to ensure your porridge bowl delivers some real wow factor.
