Never had it. Growing up, the only place I’d see it was on the grocery store shelf. My folks didn’t have it and when I’d stay anywhere else, they didn’t have it either. I figured it was more for the previous generation and would be really hurting if not gone by now.
Turns out it’s still here and even had a bit of a surge when WFH ramped up and people had time to prepare breakfast.
Have I been missing out? Anyone have a recipe I should try?
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.
