Malt-O-Meal

Warm wheat porridge

Malt-O-Meal is a brand of hot wheat cereal similar to Cream of Wheat, cooked with water or milk into a porridge.

The name also applies to a line of bagged breakfast cereals sold as less expensive alternatives to name-brand boxed cereals: We always bought Malt-O-Meal instead of Cheerios.
