yeah I am not dis'ng quick oat ... I also just prefer the more meatier old fashion oatmeal .. the finer it is the more mushy . instant can have sugar added ...I have tried steel cut... that is chewie and hardy, and not very tasty.
I remember growing up..Mom's Meatloaf was made with oatmeal ,right off the Oatmeal box .. one day she was out of oatmeal , and used Oat Bran.. oh boy that sucker was dry ..a little varnish and it would make a nice door stop...LOL
