Anytime I hear porridge I instantly think of the 3 little bears 😂

[ladykatie]

Wait a minute, are you telling me porridge is just oatmeal? I always thought they were different things??? Are you telling me my whole life I’ve been eating boring old oatmeal when I could have been eating whimsical

i was today years old when i learned that porridge is just oatmeal 😭 the more you know 🌈 always thought porridge was a fancier kind of oatmeal dish

[MAYBEE]

I always thought porridge was something smoother than oatmeal, like a cream of wheat or cornmeal porridge 😅
Did not realize oatmeal was a porridge!

I could watch Nicola do this all day - I love her genuine curiosity and accent it’s so sweet 🫶🏽

[emanando]

whenever she gets surprised, her bright blue eyes brightens the deepest part of my soul

[Spiklething]

In the UK, that’s minced beef, or just mince.
Mince pies are made with mincemeat. But mincemeat has no meat in it at all. It’s dried fruit and alcohol.

[lesego]

as a south african everything she saying sounds right - it even weird to hear that there are other names

[justfabbermuda]

Why do I love this girl so much!!!! This is HER season!!!!

Oatmeal is a type of porridge. It’s a category of food, like how dumplings and noodles can mean hugely different things in different places. Porridge is any type of grain boiled or cooked in a pot to a mushy, liquidy texture. In the west we mostly think of breakfast porridge, including oatmeal, but also cream of wheat and farina are more popular in the US, which might be why we’re more specific. But porridge really just applies to the cooking method, which is why things like polenta, grits, and juk or congee are all different kinds of porridge.

[bassieeff]

It’s called porridge in the USA only when reading Goldy locks to ur kids
