Porridge is any cooked grain, (like grits, or corn meal mush, or farina, etc.) or dried split peas (remember "pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold?"), while oatmeal is the oat version of porridge. Gruel is the same as porridge, but very thin and watery and is usually drank rather than eaten.

We consider what we eat for breakfest, oatmeal. While we consider what the English eat for breakfast porridge.
