On: List of Common Misconceptions

[petercooper]

It's normal for oat based cereals (such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Brek) and porridge to be eaten warm. These are common breakfasts in Europe - I don't know about the US. When I visited the US South a decade ago, I had grits which were also warm, but I don't know if that's the common way.

It's been a while since I, personally, have had porridge, but it's far from dead here in the states.
