Cream of Wheat?

Yucko. The name looks delicious but once it has materialized it's really, really not.

I'm not a big fan of hot cereal, but if I buy it, I get Sunny Boy. It has lots of seeds and is chewy and grainy. I like it with milk and brown sugar.

I disagree with your explanation for lumps. I believe that if you stir the cereal into the boiling water gradually using a whisk, you won't get any lumps. I don't think that how fast you cook it is relevant.

Neither, it's disgusting.

I've heard of Cream of Wheat but never tried it.

I've never tried cream of wheat, but as I live happily with the survey creator, I'm sure that I'll have occasion to

Lumpy is the only way. Gotta have texture.

In re to how you get lumps... yes, it also helps to form lumps if you dump the cereal in all at once. But I've found that having the heat too high does it reliably as well.

I don't like Cream of Wheat. I prefer Grits.

I love cream of wheat!!

I like Malt-o-Meal, another brand of the same type of Oatmeal. Malt-o-Meal, with a little Sugar and Butter, is the greatest breakfast one could have (well, sometimes I'm not in the mood for warm, so then a bowl of cereal would be it). I really don't like it lumpy at all. You get patches of bland, plain old Malt-o-Meal, instead of the sugar and butter enriched flavor.

What's good is that it takes hardly any butter and sugar to make it taste great.

Neither are "oatmeal" or contain oats of any kind.
The thing about COW is that, if you put butter and sugar on it, it tastes like sugary butter.
And, I generally took you for the smooth type, anod. -grin-

blech

Never heard of it.

Never heard of it, anyone know what the Brit equivalent is?

I have actually never tasted Cream of Wheat. It is readily available, and I've heard it's good, but I just always buy oatmeal instead.

What's the question? How I like it? How I make it? How I try to make it and fail?

Smooth and with lots of sugar. We used to make it all the time when I lived in Israel. In fact, I think that's the only place and time I've ever eaten it. It gave me a headache a lot of the time, though. Probably all the sugar.
I'm a grits girl, personally. Smooth, and with salt and pepper. And cheese. Mmmmm...

I'd never heard of it before this. Sounds a bit like porridge...

I've tried it with COW before because my parents got that one time instead of MOM, and it tasted to me like yeck! But maybe I did it wrong. I'll try it again someday, I'm sure.

From the description it sounds like Readybrek, which is awful!

If it's anything like tapioca, I like it lumpy and chewy.

bleah. almost bearable with more raisins than cereal.

The question is simply, what way should the universe be aligned with respects to Cream of Wheat? But rather than get esoteric and long-winded, I chose to leave to my replicants the greater question of how the way Cream of Wheat is prepared deeply affects our lives, loves and the fate of the western world. I firmly believe a strong understanding of this is even *more* important and topical than the "over the roll"/"under the roll" debate.

I can see that I should have marked this survey about Cream of Wheat as "potentially offensive," from many of the very strongly felt and deeply emotional comments (mandy: "blech", Jemmy: "...it's disgusting"). My apologies for that lack of foresight on my part.

Ah, in that case I choose no alignment. I think variety is best, each person gets their own preference and that may very well change from one bowl to the next, even from one spoonful to the next.

Yuck! I hate Cream of Wheat! I actually searched Hong Kong for some when my daughter was under a year old. I found some and she HATED it, too!

Yuck! Malt-O-Meal is nasty, too!

YOU FIEND! That could cause one to go into cardiac-arrest!

i like oatmeal!

Sounds like porridge.. or readybrek, both of which are the kind of breakfast only palatable after 3 tablespoons of sugar have been added, which somewhat defeats the object of it being a healthy meal.

Sounds like a fancy name for porridge.

That's the way I feel about Cream of Wheat if it's made smooth. When it's lumpy, ya can give it to me sugarless.

I dislike all hot cereals (cream of wheat, farina, oatmeal, Maypo, etc.)-you name it-I hate it if it is cooked cereal. I much more prefer Cheerios.

Neither, I prefer Quaker Oat Meal rathe then Cream Of Wheat.

I think it's like semolina. But I'm not sure.

All round donut-shaped cereals are the work of Lucifer.

Don't care for Readybrek either. I like porridge, preferably with some brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins.

Oooh, yummy. (Can you hear the sarcasm dripping into a little pool on the floor). Unfortunately my experiences of semolina have all been of the school variety.

eeurgh.... my mum actually makes pretty good semolina. I think institutions give food a bad name!

Ah well, never did say I was Christian, did I? >

I like it in the trash, away from my house, and never to be seen again.

The Scottish eat their porridge with Salt. Yuk

I don't. I do always stir deasil though, you know, for luck.

I've heard of it, but I've never had it. It doesn't sound very appealing.
