Is oatmeal the same as porridge oats.?

Answer 1

oatmeal is just porridge oats ground finely, so same thing just different texture

Answer 2

It's the production techniques that are different. To make rolled porridge oats, whole oats are cleaned and hulled (at this point they are called groats), then heated to dry them. The whole grains can then be steamed and crushed between rollers to produce 'jumbo' rolled oats (sometimes called oat flakes), or cut into smaller pieces before rolling more thinly to make porridge oats. Oatmeal, on the other hand, is milled rather than rolled. Ironically, in Scotland they traditionally make porridge not with porridge oats, but oatmeal!
