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
Gruel, porridge and whatever is a method of preparing cereals
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
Silence, Neanderthal.
