Pickles by Brian Crane for August 19, 2017

Are you trying to sky-rocket your diabetes, Earl, AND give Nelson a sugar buzz at the same time?

Actually, mush is pretty good with butter and black pepper.

It needs brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and a few nuts.

Cream of Wheat needs to be taken out and relabeled as “spackle”. What you really want is some Malt-O-Meal.

Just add white sugar and butter and Cream of Wheat is delicious! No, brown sugar (or white sugar) does not fix everything!

Jumbo oats with dried fruit, nuts, seeds, topped with fresh strawberries and served with rice milk (or any milk you prefer)…… maybe even water or yoghurt.

Why is the kid there for breakfast? Do his parents just not like him?

Oatmeal, I love. There was something brown that stuck to my teeth, and my mum fixed Cream of Wheat so thin it never filled me up. I could have had a glass of milk for all the stick-to-your-ribs I got from CofW.

If you have to doctor it up that much to get it down it probably isn’t worth eating in the first place.

I haven’t had Cream of Wheat in years. Now I must go get some… and sugar and butter. Yummmmm!

I can’t even think of oatmeal, Cream Of Wheat, etc., until it we start getting cooler mornings. And here in central Texas, that’s usually mid-November.

I can’t stand any of the hot cereals except oatmeal. The rest are just nasty. :(

When I was little, my mom would put cinnamon red hots in the cream of wheat on Valentine’s Day for me and my brother. I did that for my kids, and now my kids do that for there kids. A nice family tradition. I still eat them that way, or with one caramel square or dark chocolate mini bar. No milk or sugar needed!

Skip the Cream of Wheat™ and go with steel cut oats. Skip the sugar and other such crap, and instead add veggies – spinach, corn, peppers, etc. Tasty and nutritious.

wonder if all that would work on grits… still don’t like them according to hubby its cream of wheat’s cousin

Mmmm I love cream of wheat… a touch of brown sugar and yep… Love it!

The same can be said for ketchup.

Cream of Rice with bananas.

I remember from the Navy calling it Cream of What. No one ever knew.

Wheat or Rice..Mom made either taste nice !

Put more sugar on that!. My IRA is invested in the diabetes industry. The profits re diverted to tobacco.

Earl is right, but comics are supposed to be funny. This is just factual information.

the best way to eat cream of wheat is to pour it into the composter and then whip up some scrambled eggs or an omelette, with bacon and home fries on the side…

I used to like Cream of Wheat until the day Mom grabbed the Ivory Snow box instead of the CoW box…

I can’t stand any warm cereal… it’s a texture thing.

When I lived in Zimbabwe, we ate sadza porridge…similar to grits (better than grits, IMHO), with a bit of butter & sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice! Yummo!

I’ve had oatmeal – flavored with a little applesauce or brown sugar and cinnamon, it’s okay, but I’ve never tried Cream of Wheat.
