I've never had cream of wheat

You can get the instant packages..and give it a try, you just might like it on a cold morning, a little cream and honey, butter....yummy

I've thought about trying it before but somehow always forget to put it on my shopping list...is it in the oatmeal isle?

Yes. located near the other "hot cereal" selections. I must confess that as with oatmeal, I do NOT like the "instant" (with puddings either )... oatmeal or cream of wheat. It's also known as Farina. If you've ever had grits, it's similar in appearance and consistency but obviously made from wheat vice corn. I'm not a big grits fan, but then I wasn't raised with them. To me they (grits) don't have a lot of taste aside from whatever you're adding to them such as butter, eggs, etc. Of course those who were raised with grits probably feel the same way about cream of wheat... It has a very mild flavor.

I didn't even look at what the box cost me, but just did a google and the 28oz (big) box costs almost 10 bucks! Had no idea it was that expensive. Oh well... I like it, and a box lasts a very long time.

That might also be the reason why I never thought to get cream of wheat when I'm at the grocery store. I'm not a fan of cereal or hot cereal. I usually pass on oatmeal. If I do have oatmeal, it needs to be sweet, with brown sugar AND maple syrup (yes both). I can't remember if I've had grits...if I've tried it, it would have been in my college years and that's a long time ago....

I'm a big fan of brown sugar and maple syrup in my oat meal as well (along with a little milk). Really good solid meal to hold you over on a cold damp day.

It is very filling. Have you tried overnight oatmeal(cold oatmeal)? I actually prefer that than hot oatmeal but must have brown sugar and maple syrup in it as well.

scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked please

No way! LOL I'm scattered, smothered, double-covered and chunked---Hubby teased me about it ("mangled, smashed, wiggled and stippled" PNWesterners, pssh ROFL) until he tried 'em... >:-D Now he just says, "Do mine like hers."

Vermont maple syrup....yummy. never tried cold oatmeal on purpose. And my being lazy in the morning makes me like the instant, lol, .....cream of wheat or oatmeal

You'll have to prepare the cold oatmeal the night before (hence overnight oatmeal). Let the oat soak and soften in milk overnight. For some reason I like that texture better than cooked oatmeal. Not a fan of the instant ones. One time at work I didn't have anything, so a co-worker asked if I'd like some instant oatmeal. I said yes, made it, took a mouth full and almost threw up. The taste was too artificial for me.

I worked at the WH on Mingo in Tulsa for several years and used to annoy the fur off my manager and co-workers by playing this on the jukebox at slow times It's catchy, dang it!!!
