Oh yum! Nope, I haven't seen it here - I'm adding that to my list of food I'm going to eat while I'm in the states in 2 weeks!!! I eat it with butter, sugar, and then milk on top after the cream of wheat has gotten a little bit hard so the milk stays on top in a pool....

I thought that Semolina was Cream of Wheat.  I'm not positive because I wouldn't eat such a thing :-X but I had it in my head. 
Does anyone know?  Anyone?  Anyone?

Hmm...I'm not sure I've ever had Cream of Wheat! I can picture it, though. I love the oats here...the Scottish oats being much better than Quaker's offering. I take those and add an equal protion of milk and an additonal half portion of water, then add butter and brown suger. Oh Yum. Have it almost every morning...usually treating myself to fresh blueberries mixed in. It is just about the best.


Okay...with Guernsey milk and Belgian butter...man, I love living here!

I think it is also called Farina?  I'll have to check around. Dang! I knew there was something I forgot to ship over!

Cream of Wheat would have been a perfect start to the chilly morning!!  There is a shop in Marks Tey( near Colchester) that has some American goods. I will have a look for it the next time I am in there.

You can get them online at both skyco and the Rosslyn Deli...

Thank you so much, everyone....I am going to look @ all the places you referred me to, although I live in the northeast and it may be more readily available in the south...not sure....well, in any event, we're going to America for our "American wedding" (Our 'English' one is THIS SATURDAY....omg) and I am most definitely buying a few boxes of my CREAM OF WHEAT AND....the tinned pumpkin, lol!   :P

Ahhh, cream of wheat and a cup of hot cocoa while sitting in front of a roaring fire on a brisk autumn's morn....sounds like a poem to me  ;)    xxx
