As a non-southerner, I never tasted grits until well into adulthood. But in my experience, grits are eaten salty, and cream of wheat is eaten sweet, so there's no real comparison.
You guys are changing it to Not Cream of Wheat. Eat that dreck plain sometime. Kids didn't get to eat good tasting food.
Cream of Wheat - made with whole milk, served with a pat of butter and some sugar. That is some pretty plan dreck. And it's dang good too, especially on a cold morning or evening. Heck this is making me think about Cream of Wheat for supper!

I have never liked “Cream of Wheat”. As a Southerner, I much prefer grits.
I like it. I have a box in the kitchen and I eat it from time to time. My grandmother used to make it for me when I was a kid so that’s what I’m used to. I don’t think I’ve ever even had grits or oatmeal.
I grew up eatting CoW too, so I love it. I have just tried grits, living in Florida now, and I see no difference. I love them too. A touch of sugar and cream, yum.
Sacrilege! Grits are not supposed to be eaten with sugar! Salt, pepper, butter, made with water, not milk. Cheese, shrimp, ham, bacon -savory, not sweet! YE GODS!
Haha! I did, and so did my kids growing up so I guess we were spoiled absolutely rotten!
Now eggs - no ketchup, but here in Texas picante sauce is just fine. Wrap it up in a tortilla with some sausage or bacon and a side of grits and that's one fine breakfast there.
That's harsh - maybe that's why you didn't like it? Some moms make efforts for food to be palatable for their kids - butter and sugar are delicious.
It is ok to break the cycle though - I hope if you have kids they aren't / weren't forced to eat dreck.
They weren't. A couple of them will eat dirt if it has gravy, the other two are pickier.
