what is the content of UK porridge?
err oats and milk/water sometimes a combination of the two...some people put fruits and/or nuts on top once made. It is always hot. We have cereals (cold) with milk (or yoghurt (yeuch)) on and those have various brandnames, Cornflakes, Special K, Coco pops, Rice Krispies, Sugar Puffs etc etc. I remember, when learning German, how horrified I was to learn that they had one word for breakfast cereal - Cornflakes - that was it...it did lead to an interesting discussion about how, if you visit someone else, they know which "Cornflakes" you wanted...
Are you non-rhotic? What do you mean by that R in there?
It was my feeble attempt at spelling my sounding out... the
or sound is kind of a more
o like sounding of
aw (as in awk) and the
(l) was me trying to put the subtle
l that happens (rather than a harsh
l sound)
We have all those cereals as well. I think cornflakes was
the first produced by Kelloggs, but I stand to be corrected
on that as well. Sugar Crisp, Cocoa Puffs,etc. all cereals
made from various grains or combinations thereof.
Oatmeal must be the same a porridge. Here where I live
it has water or milk, cooked on stove or nuke-able in
Microwave for a minute or two. Mixed with various fruits
as well. I put in raisins, almonds; or mix with brown sugar
and cinnamon and dash of maple extract; or cranberries
in their raisin state, or cherries, etc.
