    I usually get rolled oats. Not sure if oatmeal is an American thing, I don’t think it’s common here? I have never heard of it anyway.

    Here you usually get plain rolled oats or ultra processed instant porridge in various forms of packaging.

      “oatmeal” just refers to the prepared/cooked oats, whether that’s from steel cut/rolled whole oats or processed and flavored in a packet

      Oats are very much a thing in the US. Quite common. Stores sell rolled oats, steel cut oats and sugary packaged oats. The trick is buying the rolled/steel cut and not the packaged sugar garbage.
