you're right, they are the same thing

although the terminology's always puzzled me, because porridge was originally made from oatmeal, before rolled oats came along

if you want to be more confused, in the states the top brand of oatmeal is called 'Quaker rolled oats' :rotfl:

see http://www.foodsubs.com/GrainOats.html

good quality rolled oats are just that, whole rolled oats and not steamed /mushed oat flakes as in some lesser products.

I see they show pinhead oatmeal, I always add some of that to my porridge for it's lovely texture

there are 2 other grades commonly available, medium & fine, & you occasionally see a coarse meal

this is what you need to make oatcakes, I usually mix medium with a little pinhead ... rolled oats don't work at all
