The porridge in a drawer is from old times, it was literally made and poured in a drawer, went cold and family cut chunks out for a meal during the week
Also avoided the "no work on the Sabbath" rule, so made on Saturday & poured in dresser drawer for meals on Sunday
The good old days eh
If he tries to cold porridge and doesn't like it, try porridge pancakes. This is enough for ~5 days of breakfasts: cover 200g oats with boiling water and soak until cool, add 2 eggs and enough milk to make a thick batter (1-2 tbsp flour will make it smoother) and fry like pancakes. You can add dried or fresh fruit, cinammon, sugar etc If you make them small and thick they're very easy to eat on the go, even dipped into coffee like a biscuit!
Could porridge in a drawer be the start of a new*revived* craze?
