Perhaps they have the texture of paste.  Their flavor should

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.

I'd always ask my patients what they had for breakfast to see if they
could understand what I'm saying. Most of the time they'll say "oatmeal"
and "papaya." When people reach an advanced age, they gravitate towards
a breakfast that's easy to digest. That's my theory anyway. I never
asked them what they had for lunch so I have no clue about that.
