Once you've got used to not having sugar in food you'll find that all sorts of stuff are gently sweet.

Carrots, finely grated, are amazing. Mix finely grated carrot and finely grated cheese in equal amounts and tell me you are not surprised.

My favourite porridge dish starts with getting the right oats. None of that ground down powdery stuff that sets like concrete. Get the stuff where you can see the individual crushed flakes of the grain.

One cup or less of oats, ditto of water, a small tin of mackerel in oil and a portion of petit pois go in the microwave for three or four minutes. If it doesn't taste sweet then you have been eating too much sugar generally.
