>Ways of eating it?  How about:
with chocolate, in Chocolate Lumps, for which you need:

1 lb chocolate (I prefer bittersweet with more chocolate than sugar)
1 lb oatmeal or rolled oats
1/2 to 1 lb Interesting Stuff to add flavor (such as dried fruit, mixed peel,
	or nuts).  If you really want to avoid additives, use only oats.
1 oz. hot water

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
Add 1 oz. hot water.  This releases a strong chocolate aroma, which
is guaranteed to attract friends.
Add 3/4 lb oats, then add more until almost all of the chocolate has 
coated the oats.
Add the Interesting Stuff.
Spoon onto waxed paper with a teaspoon, or put into ice cube trays.
Cool while fending off chocolate addicts who feel their oats.
Eat self-righteously, knowing that you are combining nutrition 
with decadence.
