Oh no. Discussing porridge with a Scotsman. This can only end badly. I don't use the instant stuff, so cooked in a saucepan, with raspberries and a touch of honey. Is that a soft southerners version of porridge?

'Discussing porridge with a Scotsman. This can only end badly,' - yup.
'I don't use the instant stuff, so cooked in a saucepan,' - OK, you've saved yourself the death penalty - just.
'with raspberries and a touch of honey,' - I'm afraid that's a mandatory jail sentence. You might get out after 20 or so years. Could you survive Barlinnie - banged up for porridge crimes? I don't think so.
'Is that a soft southerners version of porridge?' - I think I have made my point.
On the other hand - as Johnson said -
'A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland appears to support the people.'
Ha ha. Yours - I.

Lol! Very good! But I did sort of plead guilty before I was even tried. Should I be eating it with salt and wearing a hair shirt?

P. - with that recipe you will sail through customs & immigration at the border - no problem. You might be Southern - but there is no hint of softness there. Yours - I.

Could be a Celtic thing. (Although that could open up a whole new tin of worms!).
A fish supper Must have only salt and vinegar. I may allow good homemade tartare sauce. Am I wrong again?
