I like when they get mom/daughter screen time together.
Sweet vs Savory, although I guess you could make a savory porridge.
Never know porridge is actually, sweet in general. Speaking as Asian, I think porridge over here in Asia is savory in general. Although for porridge made for sick person, it’s likely just rice and a lot of water with some salty seasonings. We Asian just adopt the word thinking it’s similar concept in the West
And as someone pointed out earlier, main difference between risotto and porridge to me is porridge here is very soupy, watery, light, and generally bland while risotto is creamy, thick, heavy, and very filling. Sick person might not have enough appetite to eat much risotto while porridge is easier both to eat and to digest.
