Porridge
pourage just redirected me to porridge
and if oatmeal is oats cooked in hot milk then it's a gruel
They miss spelled it
porridge is a gruel
Debate*
Oatmeal is processed oats
it's cereal cooked in a liquid until it's turned into a mush
Oats are a cereal grain
a bowl of cereals isn't cooked
Cereal is not defined by being cooked or not
at least not after it's taken out of the box
It's a type of grain
ok but a bowl of oatmeal/porridge isn't a bowl of cereals like you'd imagine a bowl of corn flakes or w/e it's a gruel
No one uses gruel in common speech for one
what?
it's used all the time to describe dishes what are you on about?
probably a dialectal difference idk but no-one would compare a bowl of porridge to a bowl of rice krispies
For two gruel, porridge and oatmeal are all cereal
not if by cereal you mean breakfast cereal like a bowl of coco pops
ye ye
oats are cereals but oatmeal isn't
Breakfast cereal also refers to both hot and cold preparations of cereals
same as you wouldn't say flour is a cereal
Well you kind of would
Wheat is a cereal
"Gruel. Gruel is a food consisting of some type of cereal—oat, wheat, or rye flour or rice—boiled in water or milk."
But breakfast cereal is a preparation of cereals for breakfast, one of which is oatmeal
Yeah, Gruel is a preparation of cereals. It's also considered a breakfast food. As in a breakfast cereal
yes i believe so
Oatmeal may technically have the same crop that’s used in normal cereal but I’d never call it a cereal.
the concept of cereal is a social construct
considering you can also eat it as a snack
Oatmeal is hot cereal, I'm sure It says it on the packages

Cereals are fucking disgusting
I am sooo close to removing you from staff
Watch what you say
Cereal is amazing
