quicko: oatmeal v. porridge
I have the definitive answer, Americans! And it's not just "British" v. "American," although that's part of it: porridge must be cooked and mushy. Australians don't use "oatmeal," but they can refer to "oats" (they actually have a granola-type cereal that is literally oats and fruit and such) or, when oats are cooked, "porridge." It's not simply the stuff of fairy tales, after all!

So is your "oatmeal" oats or a more ground up meal made from oats?
