savoury oatmeal is just a 2010s trend that fizzled immediately.

Always thought this was a shame, savoury oatmeal is great and incredibly nourishing/comforting (as seen in this video)

They made the mistake of reintroducing a poverty food as a bourgeois treat that costs as much as a bourgeois meal. During the height of the modern fad, I never saw savoury oatmeal in a casual restaurant for an affordable price. It was always a $15+ dish at a shitty overpriced restaurant chasing every other trend. If I'm in a position to be buying an oat lunch, it should cost $5 at most to be on par with the most basic taco truck lunch.

Yeah, it's remarkable how much foods are just arbitrarily decided to be luxury. Like how lobster used to be the food of prisoners and people in extreme poverty (think there's another Townsends video about that, fittingly), or how caviar and sparkling white wine were available to anyone in the Soviet Union.

I don't frequently eat oatmeal but I universally prefer it to have a savory profile

I make oat porridge frequently for breakfast and it's always like stock, ginger, kimchi or similar. Always surprises me that people want sweet meals first thing in the morning.

Even just soy milk, oats, sesame oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, spring onion is a solid meal throws together in a few seconds with quick oats.
