What is porridge in the Gaelic languages?

There isn't one single word for "porridge" that translates perfectly across all Gaelic languages. The term used will depend on the specific type of porridge and the region. However, words related to "oatmeal" or generally "gruel" are common starting points:

* Scottish Gaelic: There isn't a single direct translation. You'd likely describe it, perhaps using terms like *min-deàrrsadh* (oatmeal) followed by a descriptor like *bhoilteach* (boiled) to indicate it's porridge.

* Irish Gaelic: Similar to Scottish Gaelic, there's no single word. You might use a descriptive phrase. *Cáis* (gruel) might be used, but it's more general than just porridge. You would likely need to specify what kind of grain is used, such as *min-coirce* (oatmeal) followed by a descriptive term.

In both languages, the most accurate way to describe porridge would be to use a descriptive phrase specifying the ingredients and preparation method rather than relying on a single, direct translation.
