A touch of salt added to a 'sweet' dish will often enhance all the flavours (even a good espresso...so long as you have it with sugar). I will eat anything, save marzipan and celery (food of Satan) and have often had porridge with just salt, but I have to have the right mindset that tells me that I am having a 'savoury' breakfast and not cereal per se. That said, my preference is for porridge made with milk, a small pinch of salt and dark muscavado sugar.
Conversely a pinch of sugar added to any dish containing tomatoes also works well.
