Its a traditional Scottish dish best served with a pinch of salt so i'm told. Its made of oatmeal. I'm Scottish and have never tried it.

Depends on your definition of porridge.
In Asia, porridge is cooked from rice. Rice with alot of water is cooked slowly over a small flame. Over time, the water will evaporate and the rice cooks. It won't look like normal rice you see in Asian restaurants. This rice is much softer and looks like one big pudding. That's 'porridge' from Asia.
Usually cooked with anything you want- fish, chicken, beef, veggies, eggs, etc.
No way does it taste like oatmeal.

Yes porridge is pretty good (the way my dad makes it anyway). I don't really like oatmeal. The porridge I eat is with yellow hominy that is boiled. Then sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, mlk, and nutmeg are added. It's delish!

Oatmeal is a type of porridge, but you can also make porridge from other grains.

Nope! The nursery rhyme peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, really gave me a complex about it. Then again I don't want three frikkin bears chasing my a$$ through the woods either!

The only porridge I've ever had was served in Scotland. They kettle was too hot though, so the milk scalded and curdled. It was gross. Just make sure not to make the same mistake!

porridge • noun
1) a dish consisting of oatmeal or another cereal boiled with water or milk.
2) (Brit. informal) time spent in prison.
If you mean the former.....yes.
If you mean the latter.....i really, really hope not.

They're the same thing - porridge is cooked rolled oats.
I have it every morning for breakfast - yum! It's high fibre, low fat and lowers cholesterol.

Yes that is what we had for Breakfast, in England, during WWII. It is made from Oats.
It is a Hot Cereal and served like a Hot Cereal.
