I can't do the quick cooking oats.They taste like paste.

 
Perhaps they have the texture of paste.  Their flavor should
be the same as rolled oats.

 
Should perhaps, but they don't. Steel cut and large flake oats are
very tasty. I think they are delicious. The quick cooking is less
flavourful and the instant stuff is bland. It has to be sweetened and
flavoured to taste like anything.

You may have missed it, but the instants got better.  Way better than
the spackle they used to be.  I'd have agreed with you if they were
still as bad as the old ones when they were a fairly new product.
