I am in love with Cream of Wheat!

I had it a few times on visits to the USA.

Thought it was horrible.

Are we supposed to assume that the chef presenting the bowl is African-American?

Pussy.

It's call grits.

Caribbean American, R2. He's been around almost as long as Aunt Jemima.

I LOVE Cream of Wheat. It's so delicious on a cold morning.

This makes you a racist, OP.

Grits are not made from wheat, but corn made into hominy.

I'm a grits guy myself. Cook them up and throw in a pat of butter and cheese or chop up some bacon and throw that in. Delicious!!

And yes, grits are corn, not wheat.

R5) Good information.

I also like Malt-O-Meal.

Both Cream of Wheat and Malt-O-Meal are great classic hot cereals. Much easier to digest than oats, and tastier too!

I went through this same phase as OP... it's funny how this kind of plain food can be so good. It happened when I was sick and had a sore throat & just got it at the grocery store since I couldn't eat much. Then, i ate it for months. I am lazy so I followed the microwave instructions, making it in a pyrex measuring glass.

My favorite was Maypo when I was a kid. They don't sell it locally anymore.

Wheat is the devil.

It's not the same wheat it was 80 years ago. It's now a Frankenstein food that's been messed about with so much that it looks twice as fat as it used to.

The gluten within wheat will irritate the lining of your gut. It may take years or decades, but the inflammation created by wheat gluten will eventually compromise the barrier which makes up your immune system.

This will open the door to hundreds of potential autoimmune diseases which can't be cured.

GMO crops are similar in this way too. They have been messed about with by scientists to increase the naturally occuring level of lectins (the plant's own pesticides). These irritate the gut too. It's the same scenario as wheat.

So it's a game of Russian roulette you take with your future health. We may think we are OK but we can't see inside our own bodies. We can't see the inflammation.

As for pesticides. They are linked to malignant tumours in a Chinese study. You'll find it very hard to find any study that links pesticide use with cancer because the food industry is so powerful. It buries negative research.

I'd avoid this product like the plague.

Completely agree with R15. Read “Wheat Belly.” This isn’t your grandparents’ cream of wheat.

Drown it in butter and brown sugar ... Heavenly.

[quote]I'd avoid this product like the plague.

We'll just avoid you, nutbag SJW pussy.

No comment.

Cream of wheat? After reading R15, I can't help think it should be renamed

Cream of...

Delicious with butter and brown sugar, YES.

I avoid most carbohydrates now, but have good memories of it.

Seriously the first person posting this?

I love to use some splenda/brown sugar blend and some margarine in my malt-o-meal. So delicious.

You're too kind (R18) but I'm really not courageous and selfless enough to be a Social Justice Warrior.

I will leave that title to those who've earned it, like those who fought for gay rights and those who fought to abolish slavery.

It's nice of you to say it though.

No, what R15 writes is true. It's like GMO corn. The pesticides built into it cause tiny microscopic explosions in the gut. In cattle fed huge amounts of corn it is the greatest contributor to why they are sick all the time and need antibiotics. By the time grain fed cattle is slaughtered they are very sick, filled with pus and near death anyway. Many of them can't even walk up the death shoot to the slaughter house and have to be pushed.

Humans eat much less corn, even those who eat a lot than cattle so the microscopic explosions take much longer till real damage is scene in terms of cancer, weakened immune system and many other conditions.

Going organic helps but the shit that is done to our food supply is in the air. There is no longer such a thing as truly healthy and safe food in this country.

I have a friend who is allergic to most produce here, standard and organic. Really allergic that she goes into anaphylaxis if she eats any produce, except for some reason bananas. She carries an Epipen. When she visits her sister in Italy she is able to eat fruit right off her sister's trees and any vegetable right out of the garden with not as much as an itch.

Think about it. Buy a loaf of commercial non organic supermarket bread and leave it on the counter. It does not mold. Come back to it a month, two, even 3 months later. It will not mold. When I was a kid commercial bread was moldy in a week.

No, R24, there's nothing courageous nor selfless about being a Social Justice Warrior.

Wow, too many typos like scene instead of seen and is instead of are to correct them all, sorry, it's early Sunday morning, but what I wrote is still true.

i love to add margarine and splenda to my cream of wheat.

OP has carb face -😩

[quote]My favorite was Maypo when I was a kid.

I wanted my Maypo as a kid, too. It didn't have nearly enough maple flavor though, so I had to add real maple syrup, which made me love it even more.

(R26) You must be a straight, white man then.

You've obviously never experienced what it feels like to have your own kind lynched on a regular basis, as used to happen in the US.

Turn back the clock enough and I wouldn't be surprised that you would probably have been a slave owner.

SJWs are heroes in my eyes..

None of Trumpesque, redneck sounding noises can change my mind. Have a good day - waving your rattlesnakes in church.

Are there more natural versions of the name brand's overly processed stuff?

suck my asshole, i love cream of wheat.

R31, I just ignoredared you. You type SJW in nearly everything you posted.

(R31) Ha ha ha!

You read my posts so that you could ignore them.. How does that work?

By the way... That rattler you're waving around in your arms (for Jesus)... it's giving you the eye.

As for this original post. I think it might be advertising in disguise.

I'm expecting to see similar postings in the future, such as: 'I love this new flavour of Oreos, what does everyone else think?'

I knew this thread would descend into drama within an hour of its posting.

WHEAT is a TRIGGER word around here OP. It is EXPLODING in your RECTUM as we speak!

I read "Wheat Belly" years ago, so yes I agree anyway - but I don't think a little bit here and there really matters. I'm going to off myself anyway this year or next... so I get to have all the carbs I want.

No, dumbass. I ignoreDARed them. I brought you back immediately thereafter. How else would I be able to read you now?

Why so hostile? I thought 'SJW' was not an insult to you.

CREAM OF WHEAT BITCH! I'D LOVE TO FORCE FEED YOU A WHOLE BOX OF IT!

Cocoa wheats are the best. Cream of wheat is not very good for you though.

If you want a good hot cereal, take some All Bran or some other high bran cereal and then pour boiling water over it, just enough to soften the bran into a mush like grits or cream of wheat. Then add a little skim milk and it's delicious.

Mom used to make it in the 60s with brown sugar and vanilla and fold in whipped egg whites...

Whipped egg whites sound like such a good idea, but what a pain in the ass to make.

I love it too, where did it go, OP?

Anyone old enough to remember "Let's Pretend" sponsored by Cream of Wheat?

I liked all hot cereals mentioned above. I HATED Instant Ralston , however. Seemed so coarse as a child. Malto Meal was the FAVE

Anyone here listen to "Let's Pretend" sponsored by Cream of Wheat?

Coco Wheats was great, loved it hot with milk and sugar. I can still remember the taste and texture of it inside my mouth.

Buckwheat of "Our Gang/Littlle Rascals" fame has converted to Islam, assuming the name Kareem of Wheat.

Wheatina. Where can I buy it?

Did Tammy Cruise start this fucking thread?

Cream of Wheat is so good to eat and we have it every day We sing this song it will make us strong, and it makes us shout hooray! Its good for growing babies and grown-ups too to eat For all the family s breakfast, You can t beat Cream of Wheat

You gays will love this

From Amazon, R48, of course! But, you spelled it incorrectly. It is Wheatena.

I LOVE IT

We always had Wheat Hearts, which I gather was General Mills' version of Cream of Wheat.

How about Cream of Rice? Supposedly one of the first food they used to feed babies. And for when you're sick.

I loved Cream of Wheat but can't digest it well. I know, blah blah blah, gluten free, blah blah blah. I use Bob's Red Mill very tasty cereal. I hear what the organic advocate is saying about the overall contamination. He's right. No amount of organic labeling is going to stop the lead in the air from getting into the lettuce, spinach, etc. Still, it's worth the effort to grow your own and try to be as clean as possible. I'm more comfortable and feeling better than I ever have since giving up white bread, etc..

I never picked up that COW could be served as a savory dish. Growing up, COW was served with milk and sugar, and grits were served with butter and S&P - sausage on the side.

Cream of wheat is also known as farina. I grew up eating it as well as oatmeal. It has to be sweetened for me to really enjoy it. I like it with cinnamon and maple syrup or with a ripe banana which I put in as it's cooking which sweetens it without sugar/Then I sprinkle the cinn and put in a teaspoon of real maple syrup. With the banana, it sometimes doesn't even need the syrup.

Cream of Rice is great if you do have a gluten issue. I also like to prep it as I do COW. My mom also grew up eating corn meal as a hot cereal. Still love that as well.

Bob’s Red Mill makes a non gmo version. It’s heartier and I love it. My man prefers Cream of Wheat.

Is there ANYTHING left to eat that isn't InstaSuicide?

And, R51, "you gays" might have loved it way up-thread where it was originally posted.

[quote]Is there ANYTHING left to eat that isn't InstaSuicide?

This. Damn.

I had a boyfriend whose cum tasted exactly like Cream of Wheat. I kid you not. (The plain kind, not flavored)

I remember this too. I'm surprised you can still buy it. I love it with butter, milk, cinnamon and a dash of sugar. Brown sugar is even better.

I eat it every day

During out childhood stays on the psychiatric ward they served cream of rice every morning.

Everything came in little metal trays on a big rolling cart. We loved it.

[quote]Erna

Cunt.

Cream of White, you say ?

Great with butter and maple syrup.

Auntie, the cook for COW is black, don't you know

Does anyone remember Roman Meal hot cereal? It had more texture and seemed more “whole grain” than cream of wheat or rice.

I used to like it when I was a kid, mainly for when I was feeling a bit queasy.

Maude on 'All in the Family': 'Cream of Wheat with cheese; it's light, but it binds."

Cream of Wheat, a white rapper from Grand Forks North Dakota.

I loved it as a child and am afraid to try it as an adult in case it ruins the memory. My Nana used to make it and serve it with a pat of butter, a small amount of warmed milk and a tablespoon of jelly- strawberry usually but grape was surprisingly good too.

I think the Cream of Wheat guy and Uncle Ben were secret lovers.

R71 bear me to it!

r74, they were until that perv chef "boi" R Dee was discovered in flagrante delicto with the Uncle. COW guy never was the same after that and has been seen on numerous occasions drunk hitting on the brawny paper towel guy at inappropriate times

I make hot cereal with coarse or fine semolina (aka polenta) and all of the above.

Also invited to the party...

....

fucking sluts

Nana would spit in mine.

[quote]coarse or fine semolina (aka polenta)

Am I missing something? I thought semolina is wheat (on any pasta package label) and polenta is ground corn...

I prefer the Cream of Cock.

Being late to the game is probably worse that being trite and unfunny, R83.

If you like the texture of cream of wheat but want something healthier, and with fiber get organic oat bran. It's not expensive. It is very smooth, like cream of wheat but made of oats and has 7 grams of fiber per serving. I like it with salt, butter and sugar, that is pastured butter, sea salt and organic cane sugar. You could do honey or maple syrup if you life. You can do it on the stove or nuke it and it comes out great. Close your eyes and you will think you're eating cream of wheat.

I second the oat bran suggestion. I like it much better than oats.

The cafeteria where I work used to have oatmeal as an option for breakfast and a few times had cream of wheat. I tried it once, but thought it was too bland. I prefer oatmeal with a little brown sugar on it. Grits are just as bad as cream of wheat.

With all that fiber, will you blow a hole in your toilet?

[quote] that is pastured butter, sea salt and organic cane sugar.

Is there something you're trying to tell us about yourself, R85?

I like to add margarine and Splenda to my Cream of Wheat.

Childhood memories with Nana can come alive again: both Malt-O-Meal and MayPo are still sold at WalMart and Target (though it may just be online).

[quote] Close your eyes and you will think you're eating cream of wheat.

I close my eyes and think of the Empire

Cream of Wheat is great comfort food. It brings me right back to my childhood. One of those foods that is my "Rosebud". It really needs the right blend of salt and sweetness though. I loved it with just enough honey that you could taste a bit of sweetness. Sometimes I'd put raisins or fruit in it.

For a change of pace, look online for the recipe for Cream of Wheat pancakes which are/were sold in IHOP'S. Or you can do what I did and just sprinkle some COW into pancake batter. Not too much or the pancakes become too thick, dense and gummy, and let the batter sit a few so the COW softens/absorbs into mixture.

Is Cream of Wheat the same thing as Farina?

Yes, R95.

It’s cream of WHHHEAT.

OP: Yum! I love it spinkled with sugar and butter!

This is the brand I grew up on.

It used to be Pillsbury but I guess they sold it.

Those wholesome kids on the box made me creep the fuck out

[quote]Is Cream of Wheat the same thing as Farina?

'Scuse me?

You're probably getting a day's worth of iron in every bowl, OP. Men need very little iron amd the excess stores in your heart muscle. Take a few days off. All cereals are loaded with iron supplements, it sucks.

I like Cream of Wheat but it gives me burning shits.

My mother used to drop an egg into the piping hot farina in the pot, then take a fork and whisk the crap out of it. The hot cereal would cook the egg by the time it made it into the bowl. She’d serve it to us with a pat of butter and some sugar sprinkled on top. She cooked it in milk instead of water, so it was a really RICH breakfast. I used to feel so full after eating the bowl, but man was it delicious and homey. It will always remind me of my mother.

my momma don' tole me

^^^ you better shop around!

For cream of wheat!

It turns to concrete too quickly. This is not a house of garbage and I won't have sticky foods ruining my pots, plates, and cutlery.

[quote]I am in love with Cream of Wheat!

Well, why don't you marry it then?

No seriously, why not? He's pretty handsome actually.

[quote]Wheatina. Where can I buy it?

I knew a black girl named Wheatina AND she was a prostitute, funny huh?

[quote]How about Cream of Rice? Supposedly one of the first food they used to feed babies. And for when you're sick.

You can easily make this simply by overboiling rice. Make plain rice as usual but then keep adding water and boiling and you'll get to the same consistency.

I ate grits with milk and sugar almost everyday growing up. I only eat it with salt, butter and sometimes cheese and eggs. Sweetened grits are no better than gruel.

Calling it "cream of" wheat would lead you to believe that there's a dairy element in it. Marketing deception.
