Night Elf Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Help me out here. When I was in college, we had the best little cafe nearby. One of their breakfast items was a cold custard cereal of some type. It had the consistency of a soft oatmeal but it was definitely not oatmeal. It didn't have pieces like you find in oatmeal. It was smooth. We would drizzle honey on it. It was so good! What on earth could it have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt. Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Cream of wheat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Cream of wheat? That was my guess, but it's not smooth. And I really can't imagine it cold. But now I want to know. And know I also want Cream of Wheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Grits? Both Cream of Wheat and grits will get smoother when they are cooked longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Flan? Or just custard, maybe creme brulee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Have you tried overnight/refrigerator oatmeal (aka cold porridge)? If you start with quick oats, they mostly disappear texturally. Not as nutritious as steel cut though. Here's a cream of wheat pudding recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/cream-of-wheat-pudding-from-the-mennonite-treasury-of-recipes-80085 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's definitely not grits. I'm in the south and I love grits. It was definitely a cold dish too. I mean, not just something that had lost it's heat. It was served chilled. When I looked for the cafe online, I found out it's closed. That's sad indeed.

itsheresomewhere Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Did it have brown sugar in it and the texture of creme brulee? The memories that brings back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 there was something the krishnas used to serve as a dessert which was kinda like that, but i forget what it was called - no, wait, didnt they call it halva, which drove me nuts, because halva is a wonderful sesame candy . . . idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Did it have brown sugar in it and the texture of creme brulee? The memories that brings back. Closer, but a tad bit grainier and I don't recall the top being a different texture. I do think it was like cream of wheat, just cold maybe? Can you serve that cold? I'll just look for breakfast custards and see if I can find something that looks yummy. The cafe also had these great whole wheat biscuits. Good memories, really good memories.
