Quaker Steel Cut Oats

it's so great/annoying when big corps accustomed to making $$ on less than healthful prods hafto kowtow to public demand for healthier stuff. McD’s is the biggest example, tho the one that bugged me bigtime was ocean spray who kept making crappy sugar-loaded cranberry juice until Northland succeeded w/ an all-juice brand & ocean spray finally gave in and followed suit. quaker steel cut oats isn’t quite the same since its regular rolled oats are good 4 U. come to think of it, these new steel cut oats prob represent more an expansion by quaker into the yuppie foodie realm. Hm; that makes my whole thesis somewhat flawed. Oh well. but surely quaker is responding here to the encroachment of McCann’s, right? I mean, I’m not all wrong.

Here is what I have noticed about your blog: You always put your entries up right around 10:30 a.m. (Go back and check!)
Is this a coincidence? I say no.

Twisted Traitor Pup:

I'm going to warn you once and only once. "They" (I mean "I") are onto everyone. I know where you live, and I even know that you are moving to a new house soon.

If you continue to make jokes about serious things, like a trio of cell-phone-buying terrorists who had detailed plans to sever the vital route between the Mitten and the U.P. of Michigan, I will send Paris Hilton to pay you a visit.

The name scares me. It sounds like it's going to cut up my colon or something.

Marvo I love the name - Stell Cut Oats. Makes me feel stronger just saying it. I feel like if I try this, I may get the steel cut abs I have always wanted.

You are wondering what I was doing in Salt Lake City over the weekend, other than saving unfortunate civilians.

Well, I bring you great news. It turns out that SLC is full of Marmots. And these beings have a lot in common with Scientologists.

1. We both believe in a book made up by someone other than a jew.

2. We both believe in the restorative powers of LSD (though marmots refer to it as LDS).

3. We both have multiple wives.

4. We both typically hibernate in the winter.

look, you can beg and plead all you want, i REFUSE to discuss how these quaker steel cut oats tasted. i'm not going to get into their taste, their texture, their degree of creaminess vs. some of the other leading brands. i just cannot compromise my principles.

Glad to see twisted and others are commenting on the second day an item has been posted. I have been wanting to tell you about a great sale that's coming up very soon but was waiting for a fresh item For all you foodies: There will be more than 3,000 vintage cookbooks, plus lots of kitchen and dining stuff. Course tg might prefer her blog not me used for promotion.

I, too, have been waiting for a fresh item. I heard a rumor that twisted is returning to Dallas. Does that mean that great apartment in Oak Cliff is no longer available?

so, tg, totally not in the way of a review, what IS your opinion of how these taste? cuz i've had McCanns, which i like, so i'd LOVE to know, without having to go out and buy a whole container. could you tell us? could you, huh? no one would think less of you if you, just this ONCE, told us what you think of the product.

I would think less of her. Anyone who yields to the demands of the people is lending succor to al-Qaeda.

McCann's steel cut oats are fabulous and once you try them, I doubt you'd go back to the regular steamed, rolled oats. Quaker Steel Cut Oats are the same as McCann's. FABULOUS!!

Steel-cut oats are wonderful--never liked oatmeal until I tried steel-cut earlier this summer. Now, I can't get enough. I've bought Quaker, McCann's, and was given Arrowhead Mills Organic. McCann's is great but I have to admit I really enjoy the Quaker, too--surprised by that. The Arrowhead Mills is nuttier but they do something to decrease the cooking time and the final product is not as much to my liking. I would say you can't go wrong buying either Quaker or McCann's--enjoy!

yyour steel cuts are palate pleasers
however the cooking time is a minus.switched to mccanns 5 minute
variety, not quite as good but the
time factor outweighs the taste buds
