porridge
Boiled grain mush
Porridge is a hot cereal made by boiling oats or other grains in water or milk until thick and soft.
It's a traditional breakfast food, especially in Britain and Scotland: a bowl of porridge with honey.
The word appears in the British slang phrase do porridge, meaning to serve a prison sentence—from the association of porridge with institutional meals.
