Difference between oatmeal and oats?

What are you making monkeyboy? It might depend on the recipe. Also if you are using an American recipe then oatmeal is the word they use for porridge oats.0

Hi,
It's oatmeal parkin - the recipe I'm using is Delia's.
Thanks,

Thank you!
Am off to make now (present for people on placement), so will see how it goes.

If I'm making Staffordshire oatcakes (they require oatmeal) I just blitz some oats in the processor. Never had a problem with it.0
