Titolo: Porridge

I wanted to try to make porridge, but this simple dish appears to be 
less simple than I expected. It's main ingredient is "oatmeal", which 
is? You British and Americans are just too specific (oatmeal, crushed 
oats, rolled oats...): we (I) barely know what oats are! I also looked 
up recipes written in Italian, except that some say "fiocchi d'avena" 
and some "farina d'avena".

wikipedia?

Forse il problema è che hai letto sia siti americani che inglesi.
Nemmeno sull'avena riescono a mettersi d'accordo.

Gli inglesi fanno il porridge con rolled oats, che dovrebbero essere i
fiocchi d'avena.
Sei riuscito a trovarli? Vuoi farle con acqua o latte? o magari con il
sale! Puoi anche cuocerli nel microonde direttamente nella tazza!

I eat a bowl of rolled oats and warmluke milk every morning, sometimes with
nuts and seeds like in a muesli, sometimes with a spoonful of ewe's milk
ricotta, but I never eat porridge.

Da quanto ho letto, acqua e, alfine, crema di latte, ma il latte al 
posto dell'acqua m'ispira, come sempre. (faccina)

JFYI, lukewarm. Did you get confused thinking about Cool Hand Luke?

Just some symptoms of dyslexia, now and then! ;)

sale o zucchero? (o magari uvetta...)

 irrancidisce in fretta.
Keep it in the fridge, especially in the Italian Summer.

La farina stessa?
Comunque mi par di capire, dopo ulteriore ricerca, che si possa fare o 
coi rolled oats, cioè fiocchi d'avena, o con gli steel-cut oats. 
Quest'ultimo dovrebbe essere quello tradizionale: gli steel-cut oats 
sono questi:

Niente di simile alle farine di granturco o di frumento, comunque.
Ho raccolto un po' di ricette e mi par di capire che quello cogli 
steel-cut oats si cuocia in una ventina di minuti, mentre quello coi 
fiocchi sia, in breve, una sorta di "zuppa" d'infantile memoria 
(infantile un corno!).

 sale o zucchero? (o magari uvetta...)
Nelle ricette che ho letto, entrambi.

O anche i fiocchi, specie si conservano per diverso tempo prima dell'uso.

The "Quaker Oats" company is the manufacturer of a variety of oatmeal
products in the US, and there are some recipes here, although porridge
is not mentioned. I always have a box of "Quaker Oats" on the shelf,
for making cookies or to eat for breakfast.

The only time I hear the word "porridge" is when revisiting the story
of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".

Another interesting grain (some people call it an herb) is buckwheat
(unrelated to wheat), also known as groats, and as kasha in Eastern
Europe. "Wolff's", the major manufacturer of this product in the US,
once labeled the box with the word "Groats", but has changed the label
to read "Kasha". "Wolff's Kasha" comes in fine, medium, and course
grinds. Several manufacturers make buckwheat pancake flour.
Buckwheat is used by gluten-intolerant people as a substitute for
wheat.
I always have a box of "Kasha" on hand, for use in stuffing poultry,
and for use as a breakfast cereal. If you microwave a few tablespoons
of kasha with a little milk, then add a little garlic and sugar, you
have an excellent breakfast cereal. The recipe is on the box. (The
garlic is my own addition).

la consistenza del porridge è quella di un risotto superscotto.
L'avena in cottura perde un sacco di amido.
Adesso magari ti passa la voglia di mangiarlo ;-)
