    The old shredded wheat "big biscuits?" Anyone else ever eat them hot? Put them in melmac, cover with milk and a little sugar and toss in the oven?

    Can anyone guess what is on my woodstove right meow?

    We always had them in the house when I was a kind. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to them-- I haven't seen them in stores in 20 years!

    My father (1942) was thrilled as a kid during hard times to eat popcorn with milk and salt or honey in his childhood.

    I remember eating them. I remember I felt like a cow cause I swore hay tasted that way.

    image.jpg Here you go, they are still around. We used to pour a bit of hot water on them to soften them up. Then add sugar and milk. Better with some fruit if there was any available. Not much fresh fruit available when I was a kid so we used raisins during the winter.
