I still eat it when I'm sick or want something warm and easy to digest. Love the sprinkles idea for kids though!

Only an occasional addition of cocoa powder--see I forgot all about that! Only now it came back to my memory :) Yeah, no sprinkles when I was a kid either–I didn’t know they existed (Did they, back then?).

I too grew up on farina, although I can't say I was privy to sprinkles. And at 30, I still love it! It's not often that I come across someone who knows what farina is, let alone really enjoys it.

I only got jasmine rice for special occasions, like my birthday. Also, I like lumps in my farina... and I never got sprinkles either, just butter and sugar. I still like it that way!

It is called fufu. Here is the Chicago Tribune's video if you want to see! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4sJqvIEHt4 When I was a kid (in my English American household), we ate it like you do in your house. I never got sprinkles though!! Just a little butter and brown sugar! In our (Nigerian) household, farina is cooked much thicker until it can be rolled in the hand and used to scoop up stew.

My favorite breakfast growing up was my mom's sauage gravy with biscuits and hashbrowns (or if she didn't feel like cooking, cold pizza), but those were only for special occassions which I think made it more special. .-= Katrina´s last blog ..<a href="http://eatingontulsatime.blogspot.com/2010/05/food-revolution-day.html" rel="nofollow">Food Revolution: Day ???</a> =-.
