I've recently had a big escapade of wanting to try porridge, and while I know it exists in the US, it seems to be a lot more of a common thing in the UK. I've actually gained quite a jealousy over learning yall have so much instant porridge! It's also come to my attention that there's different types of porridge, like wheat porridge, cornmeal porridge, rolled oats porridge, etc., and i want to try and get as close to a UK version as I can(even if that means instant stuff). I heard rolled oats porridge is supposedly the most common in the UK, but I don't really have a way to confirm this or not.

I've found a few instant porridge stuff, but they're simply just labeled as "hot cereal" and as someone who's never had porridge ever, heck, only time I've even seen it is in goldielocks books(I do frequently eat oatmeal though) I can't really tell which is or isn't porridge or porridge-esque, or if there's even a difference between hot cereal and porridge.

So if yall have a porridge type you frequent or any info on porridge/hot cereal differences it'd be very appriciated! Any recipes or anything are very welcomed too!

I hope this post made sense and if you have any questions do ask😅
