smoked oats
it appears to be a thing Smoked Oatmeal with Coconut Milk Recipe | Traeger Grills
I could see that working. Weirdly, I think a mushroom porridge could work quite well, really push those earthy notes etc.
you could be right - chopped finely like a Brunoise and or using some liquid from soaking some dried mushrooms. Perhaps addressed with some mushroom powder?

come to think of it, I am sure I recall a mushroom congee somewhere in China. Although it is a rice porridge.
Interesting to compare that to what he does in the Fat Duck cookbook. Biggest difference seems to be the use of a duck ham in the parsley butter instead of the parma ham.
He also adds in an extra braising process for the snails too, and a vinaigrette.

Whatever the oats, hipster or otherwise, they all work in a saucepan.

I once had salted (ground) rice porridge in Tallin, it was foul.
You jest but I’ve seen pictures of bored USAF mechanics cooking a deer using the output of an old cavity magnetron based bombing radar. Some sort of Cocosan kitchenware using early Cold War radar innards would be very him.
