If you grew up on rolled oats for your porridge, as I did, that's not the texture (there's a reason I switched a an adult to steel-cut). It's probably closer in mouthfeel to Cream of Wheat. Or if you've had soft polenta at an Italian meal, that's basically the same thing.

You lost me at Cream of Wheat. One of my worst childhood memories was an overnight at the home of a friend. They were a no nonsense - "clean your plate" kind of family. A bowl of Cream of Wheat was breakfast. Fortunately they were dairy farmers, so with copious amounts of milk, I managed to finish my bowl, but never again! Polenta that has been cooked and chilled and then sauteed might be a good introduction for me. I am a pretty adventurous eater and hate to cross anything off my list.
