Because they needed those days for labor on themselves to not die. Like preserving food, making soap/candles, and doing things around the house.
Thanks to capitalism, all of that time can now be spent toiling for your ~~masters~~ ~~lords~~ ~~owners~~ stake holders!
Overnight oats are bad now? I think it's way superior compared to more expensive options like cereal.
Its not "bad" its just got a similar ingredient list to "gruel" suggesting we've just rebranded feudalism in the 'grind culture' sphere. It fully depends on whether people are eating them by choice or financial necessity.
If you eat overnight oats to save time to get to work, then you are a tool.
If you eat overnight oats because you like the taste or because it saves on energy, then I don't judge.
Honestly, overnight oats are great. Add some raisins and nuts (in the evening), it's a perfect meal. Much better than cooked porridge, which is much more "peasanty" anyhow.
I like gale's comparison otherwise. Reminds me of John Lennon.
good point
no need to fire up the 1500 watt kettle
Do I want to know what overnight oats are?
I don't like cold oats, BUT I do really like Steel Cut oats, in a slow cooker with a light timer attached to it on low.
Mix it all up in the evening, light timer turns on 3 hours before I wake up, turns on crockpot, light timer turns off 30 minutes before I wake up. Nice hot, fully cooked breakfast in the morning.
Do not listen to people who say it’s slimy. Idk what the hell they are putting in it for it to be slimy.
My go-to is milk, brown sugar, and steel cut oats overnight. In the morning I’ll add diced strawberries and blueberries or banana. Awesome breakfast that’s extremely healthy. If you want even more sweetness you can add some maple syrup.
Raw porridge basically. Add some nuts and raisins, let it soak overnight. 😚👌
Less slimy than cooked porridge imho.
They are oats let to soak in water in frodge over night, like the name suggest.
If you like oatmeal but think “Hmm.. this could be colder… and slimier… 🤔”
Add some cocoa powder to it, mix it up, let it cool off in the fridge and enjoy 😋 very delicious and simple, maybe throw in even some frozen fruits yummy
It's a cold version of porridge where the oats are soaked overnight instead of being heated fresh.
TBH overnight oats are amazing and super good for you
And muesli is a superior version of overnight oats, and you should give it a try because it adds fruit and a lot of different nuts.
Toss in some Greek yogurt, maybe some honey or maple syrup for flavor and sweetness, and it is freakin' delicious.
And if you're interested, it'll make you regular as all hell.
I'd be a little careful about what you add in the evening. Some things, like sweet stuff or milk, might do more than just soak overnight.
But yeah, I used to eat muesli this way: Grind up a mix of grains, and soak those. Many oat flakes are heat-treated anyhow (quick oats).
Muesli is amazing. Quick, easy, delicious, crunchy and chewy.
And for people with physical disabilities it can mean a better breakfast than would normally be possible.
damn,
