I like the texture & chewyness too, I didn't know this but Mary says rolled oats are de husked & steamed so technically it's not raw... I don't think we are odd I think maybe we just have more refined pallets...
Do you 'cook' porridge

Depends if you're from Edinburgh or Miss Jean Brodie.

You should hear it said with a Glaswegian glottal stop

Thanks Mary I had to google Glaswegian glottal stop, an interesting & amusing read I'd never herd of T-glottalization before, I now feel enlightened...
Glottal stop seems to be common in a few places in Scotland. Dundee is bad for it too. Another common one is the habit of saying "torlet" instead of "toilet".
I can't speak though as a work mate used to wind me up for the way I pronounce cemetery, it seemingly comes out as symmetry.

For a country with a relatively small population we have an enormous variety of accents
Yet Wikipedia has only two !! for Scotland….does anyone Edit Wiki and would have a look at that ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dialects_of_the_English_language
It's totally missing the regional variations like the ones given for England and Ireland.

Bit long, but well explained here.

It comes naturally to me depending on who I am talking with (or to).

And there's an awful lot more accents in Northern Ireland than the four that are mentioned, there are different accents 5 miles outside of Belfast in every direction, for goodness sake.
I suspect I'm in the "doing it wrong" camp : I take a bowl, whack in enough (rolled) oats and a honking great teaspoon of honey (or two of sugar if I only have that) and then pour "enough" water from the freshly boiled kettle into the bowl. I also make tea and walk away from it (shower, chickens, making sure the sky hasn't fallen, it depends on the day). When I come back I have tea (sometimes overbrewed) and porridge!
There's no "doing it wrong" with porridge - there's traditional, which varies by country & county, and there's what YOU like!
When I'm outdoors, I never cook it fully - I just do as you do, or take it cold, adding anything I like - especially wild blaeberries! And call it muesli.

There's no "doing it wrong", as long as you get where you meant to go (easier and harder still apply, there may be better way )
But! there's a "doing it wrong" camp! It's the one everyone goes by and says "tsk, you should be doing it like this not that!" the native of this camp will ignore all such comments and grin when their method works, especially if it's faster/easier than the proper way (which is different for every outsider that comes by!)
