The difference is the cooking time. Quick oats cook in 5 minutes and the regular oats cooks in 15 minutes. That is why they are called Quick Oats.

The reason that the cooking time is different is that quick oats are regular oats that have been cut a few times to make them smaller pieces.

Will oatcakes taste bad if you use regular oatmeal?

If you are referring to using slow-cooking oats instead of instant or quick-cooking oats, I have used slow-cooking oats in recipes many times with no taste difference. I simply let the oats sit for a few minutes after mixing it with whatever liquid the recipe calls for, and this lets the oats soften a little, since it has not been processed as much as quick-cooking oats.

Can you use regular rice in a recipe that calls for instant rice?

It may depend on the recipe. But often they are interchangeable. Quick oats absorb moisture faster than regular rolled oats thus they cook faster. Most baking recipes and granola recipes don't need a high absorption rate because they are cooked for 20 minutes or more. If the recipe does not cook the oats for at least 15 minutes then presoak rolled oats ( in liquids needed in the recipe) for 10 minutes before using or use the quick oats as called for. (granola recipes often do not require the oats to absorb the liquids, so either type should work).
