Millet and Pumpkin Porridge. St Petersburg, Russia
January 2017 Breakfast Russian style. My first experience of millet porridge, I wasn't sold. The soft, fluffy texture felt a little sludgy - I prefer a grain with a little bit to it, although the pumpkin seeds did add a crunchy contrast. The savoury, earthiness of the roast pumpkin meant that for me, the dish was less sweet than I would have preferred for breakfast, and was overall rather bland.
