- nly 12y agoEh? In the UK porridge is just oats + (hot) milk. How is that significantly different?
- thomasahle 12y agoPorridge is actually described in the article as the good old british cereal. (Search the article for 'oat'). Though, porridge oats are usually smaller and more processed than oats for eating cold.

- smegel 12y agoIn Australia (which surely can't be that different to the UK), porridge is oats cooked in boiling water for 10 minutes until it becomes a thick slurry. Then a small amount of cold milk is poured around the rim of the bowl and some sugar is sprinkled on top.
- thomasahle 12y agoThis! And deep inside everyone already knows this, they just try to convince themselves that other options 'can be healthy too'. Look at this, per 100g, the "Kashi 7 Whole Grain Cereals, Puffs" mentioned in this thread has 5-10g of protein and less than 5g of fibre [1]. The top cereal when googling healthy cereals [2] has 2g of protein and 5g of fibre. In comparison plain nice, big oats have 13g of protein and 10g of fibre. There's just no beating it.

- nly 12y agoJust pulled some own brand 'porridge oats' out of the cupboard. Bought from Waitrose here in the UK. per 100g: 10.8g fibre, 56g carbohydrate, 1g 'of which sugars', 12.1g protein. Ingredients described as 'Wholegrain oatflakes (100%)'.
