Funny Political Pictures Thread I: A New Hope

That is a great post, and I had to look up what gruel is. It seems I eat it all the time, except I use less water and cook it for hours so it is thicker.

Spoiler Gruel recipes :
From here:

Ingredients
  • 3 dessert spoonfuls of oatmeal
  • 1 pint of water
  • a little salt
Making and cooking it
  1. Mix the oatmeal with a little cold water to make a paste
  2. Put the rest of the water in a pan
  3. Add the mixture and boil for 10 minutes
  4. Add the salt
My recipe, that I have on more time than not:

Ingredients
  • 1 cup porrige oats
  • 2 cups water
  • a little salt
Making and cooking it
  • Put all the stuff in a rice/porrige cooker
  • Press the button
  • Come back between 1 and 24 hours later and eat it (the longer you leave it the thicker it is, and I like it thick)
 
I add cooked apples and I like it thin, I also add dried coconut, cinnamon, honey and a bit of chocolate muesli. Some say I am ruining oatmeal, I say they are probably right:lol:
 
Yes it's porridge.

Soaking it overnight should have the same effect.
I'd make it with milk rather than water though.

Thin gruel would be where it has been watered down to make it stretch.

Mashing a ripe banana in before cooking was popular in my house for a while.

The first time I heard about gruel was via Rich Little's A Christmas Carol where Ebenezer is eating frozen gruel for dinner and ponders "I wonder what the poor people are eating".

Yes. I wonder if that's what the Gazans have been doing, or if they are beyond that now.

This is just about political, but I cannot find a current non-political funny pictures thread? A search only gets ones 2012 and before.
