Postum cereal and junket, was that for puddings?

Grew up with both of them.

Had another old favorite this morning that I had not made in over a decade.

Cream of Wheat. It was great. I am very picky about my Cream of Wheat and Malt O Meal.

It has to be smooth and hot.

junket was used in pudding mixes, ice cream, etc. as a thickener

Postum was a granulated coffee substitute, caffeine free.

I can't remember if I like it or not Haven't eat any in decades. Was talking to my husband about not breakfast cereals like oatmeal (we both love steel cut oats), etc.

I said do you like Cream of Wheat and Malt O Meal? He said I love them both.

I said, I have know you over 11years and you have never once said you love them.

He said, You never once asked.

Well now you know!

Back before heart surgeries and bypasses, granddaddy had already had about 7 heart attacks and I hardly remember him doing anything but laying on the davenport. He ate cream of wheat for almost every meal. I tasted it once, just like grits, only once. Not for me but I may revisit grits again with cheese.

If your Cream of Wheat tastes like grits, it needs to be cooked more. It should be smooth.

Now grits, that is like eating wet cornmeal. Oh yeah, I guess it is.

JuJu Squeezie — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 20:07:17 GMT

Ovaltine, that was a no go as well. All my friends used it, not for me. Tang was another flop.

But, strawberry flavored straws were a hit. And the winner was BOSCO!

minkbunny — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 20:08:33 GMT

Tang is really nasty stuff, isn't it?

Loved the strawberry straws....
