I don't have this in my country, but it's similar to semolina, no? I might try making semolina porridge then

I don't know, I usually have yestercoffee or nothing for breakfast.
i used to eat coco wheats with sugar and syrup and butter and a little bit of milk as a kid, idk how i didn't get diabetes, loved me my sugar slurry
Its a blank canvas, fill it in how you normally like food. sweet, do sweet things, savory, throw in savory things. boil gruel with a cinnamon stick in it. make porridge with chunks of garlic and soup stock mixed in. do you.
I prefer steel cut oats, but cream of wheat can be good too.
Grits are better 💪
Do oatmeal instead if you can. It's so much better with a better texture. I'm fine with cream of wheat but it feels like worse oatmeal in almost every way.
Porridge and slop are usually a great food.
I was forced to have it a few times as a kid, and then it showed up in the first Matrix movie, exactly where it belonged.
it's great, just have to make it right
I recently saw this in a hotel breakfast buffet, I was surprised. Blast from the past but its not bad.
It was a often requested breakfast item for me. I would have a slice of butter and a moderate amount of brown sugar, cooked with water. I didn't like it to be too sweet, so I wouldn't mix it all the way. I would let the edges stay sort of un mixed and eat the edges first, even better if there was a "dumpling" of the wheat that didnt get incorporated.
It is kind of plain, i dunno -- It's just one of those things that I occasionally crave, but don't necessarily want to eat it all the time, or even once a year.
Follow the directions on the box for the amount that uses 2 cups of water or milk. Use milk. Use a little more butter than it calls for. Also add a snack size box of raisins.
Before it gets to boiling, put in a couple squirts of maple syrup and some brown sugar. As you mix in the Cream of Wheat, whip it good so it doesn’t clump. You’ll let it clump once. After you bite a clump you’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. Maybe use an electric mixer.
Used to make it all the time. Loved it. Can’t have so many carbs now.
