<p>So we declare that Mornflakes Instant Oats is the "right" porridge. Only impatient whingers would complain.
<p>At basecamp, the correct way to cook porridge is: (1) put oats in pan the night before with skimmed milk to cover. (2) the next morning boil for 2 minutes having added just enough milk to make it stirrable. Stir continuously. (3) add cold orange juice or similar to reduce temperature from "injurious" to "edible", (4) eat.
<h2>The Wrong Custard</h2>
<p>Most <a href="https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/297558369">custard powder</a> requires lengthy cooking: 6 minutes of near-boiling temperature (at boiling point at 1,850m at top camp) and a lot of added milk. Custard powder is cornstarch/cornflour + sugar + flavourings, so the flour has to be cooked.
<p>Instant custard (the "right" custard") has milk powder in it, and (somehow) partially-cooked cornflour so you just need to add hot water and stir it, which can be done in a mug.
<p>A jar of Bird’s Instant Custard Powder lists as its <a href="https://www.cooksinfo.com/instant-custard-powder">ingredients</a> the following: cornstarch (aka cornflour in the UK), milk solids, glucose solids, vegetable fat, sugar, flavours, salt, potassium phosphate, emulsifier, free-flowing agent, colorants including Tartrazine, and acidifying agent.<br>Nutrition Facts Per 175 ml / ¾ cup, prepared Amount<br>Calories 104, Fat 2.3 g (Saturated 1.8 g), Carbohydrate 19.7 g<br>Fibre 0.1 g, Sugars 12.8 g, Protein 1.0 g
<h2><em>Footnotes</em></h2>
When making notes for next year and the people who will do this after you, please be more precise than your predecessors. How much is "one large drum-full" of packet soup for god's sake.
