Are porridge and oatmeal the same?
Here in the UK we tend to call a bowl of oats cooked with milk, water or cream porridge.
Technically the term porridge can be used to refer to a similar dish made from any grain, for example barley, buckwheat and corn.
For the purposes of this recipe though, they are the same thing. This strawberry porridge recipe could also be described as strawberry oatmeal.
