I'd seen boxes of oatmeal in lidl and had also wondered whether it was the same as porridge - now I know

i fancy having a go at making parkin......it's like a chewy gingerbread i think, but it says in the recipe i need oatmeal.

this isn't the same as porridge oats is it? i looked in morrisons but i couldn't see any, so any ideas where i might be able to get some?

thanx

Im glad you asked this, because come around November time last year, I came accross the Parkin cake recipe, and indeed I used Oatmeal, but I mistaken it for porridge oats. It actually turned out like flap jack in my opinion.:rolleyes: Not what I imagined, but it didnt go to waste.

Morrisons sell oatmeal, but it's in the baking aisle, not with the cereals. I bought two packets this week for parkin and I had to ask! It's 53p for 500g packet which makes two lots of parkin.
