Cream of Wheat Vs. Oatmeal

[daphatty]

I've been confined to my apartment for the last three days with an abdominal infection (fucking hurts to even fart) so my culinary choices have been limited. I was chowin' on a yummy plate of Cream of Wheat (with a light dusting of cinammon) and I started to wonder if I was alone in my preference. So speak up, CoW or Oatmeal?

Oatmeal with brown sugar will brighten any day.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I don't really eat either, but I'd give a slight edge to CoW.

Oatmeal with a spoonfull of jelly

If I were to eat either.. it would be oatmeal. Cream of Wheat is just too pasty (that and I don't like "instant foods").

Out of those two its tough, but I will say Oatmeal just becuase it seems to be more satisfying (easier to feel full).

Off-topic> Why no love for grits man? SHOW some love for GRITS!! I'd rather eat grits over both the others.

That was the point of my comment.. I make real oatmeal, I don't like making instant food like Cream of Wheats.

I think he was referencing cream of wheat when he said 'instant foods'. But yes, either one is terrible in 'instant' form (as is pretty much every food).

gotcha, thought u meant not eatin either at all, my bad

[Backlash]

Real oatmeal with 2 spoonfuls of natural peanut butter, 1/4 scoop of choclate protein powder, and 2 packets of Splenda. Breakfast of champions.

Actually, I meant non-instant types of CoW and Oatmeal. And as for grits, that shit is disgusting! My first experience with Grits was also my last. I mistook it for Cream of Wheat. Talk about pastey. :puke:

EDIT: I think the term "Instant" needs to be defined here. If it takes less than 90 seconds to make or is cooked in a microwave, then that is instant. It takes me 10-15 minutes to make CoW over the stove.

As long as they cream of wheat isnt chunky, its my top choice

[Rodego]

I have never had CoW, but I don't see how it could beat a nice hot bowl of oatmeal with milk and sugar

[DigitalSpace]

Oatmeal rocketh the house.

bump all of that noise....im not sure how to spell it, but i think its "farina"....i used to eat it all of the time when i was little...put a little bit of sweet n low in it and you're good to go....all oatmeal is to me is hot soggy cereal...

If you didn't put anything in the grits, they will suck major ass. Grits are great if prepared correctly. They are awesome with american cheese, bacon, butter and salt, red eye gravy....(I like it best with some cheese slices, a little butter and a little salt.)

Grits wins over Cream of Wheat and Oatmeal any day.

[Othergods]

Grits with Bacon, Chedder Cheese, Butter and Pepper is the Bomb!

But out of your choices I choose Oatmeal with brown sugar

[johnnyoski]

I don't eat much of either one any more but I would have to go with Cream of Wheat.
Cinnamon brown sugar was the bomb.

The truth is spoken.

I always thought Farina was CoW. At least, that's what my grandmother used to call what she would cook for me, even though the box said Cream of Wheat on it. We Puertoricans have a different way of doing things though. :D
