porridge
Porridge is the 1st option in my opinion because it is the literal translation, but you could use custard.

porridge
acho que neste caso, mingau é porridge mesmo, já que fala que pode ser algo com leite, ou alguma outra coisa para torna-lo mais consistente. Espero que ajude.

pap
mingau
n. corn meal; pap, mash
"Porridge" encontrei APENAS como mingau de aveia, não se aplicando se o mingau for feito de milho ou arroz, por exemplo.

: Nao sei... A definiçao do mw sobre porridge não faz menção a essa restrição. Além do mais, ela já tem papa (pap) no texto, então precisaria utilizar termos distintos...
