it's all in the consistency. Gruel is soupy. Oatmeal is like the stuff you had as a kid, porridge is thick and lumpy. Cream of wheat is real thin, grits are thick, and shredded wheat is cereal.

Oatmeal (oats), cream of wheat (wheat), and grits (corn) are different grains. Porridge is a common name for cooked oatmeal. Gruel is a very thin porridge.

Oatmeal is made from oats. Grits are made from ground corn. Cream of wheat is wheat. Shredded wheat is a cold cereal...
