Cooking with wholegrains

The simplest and earliest use of corn meal was to make that famous dish called Corn Meal Mush, or Hasty Pudding. You put some water into an iron kettle, got it boiling briskly and then stirred in corn meal with a dash of salt until it was thick. Then you cooked it, stirring all the while. This was used by all good old New England families as a breakfast cereal or a supper dish, with cream and maple syrup poured over it. If there was any left over, after it had cooled it was sliced and fried on a hot griddle and served doused with butter and Vermont maple syrup. Cracked Wheat, Crushed Wheat, Samp Cereal Scotch Oatmeal Cereal I CUP CEREAL 3 CUPS WATER To save time, these cereals can be cooked the night before youwant to eat them. In the upper part of your double boiler put the cereal, salt and boiling water and stir with a spoon. Cover and cook from ¥% to 1 hour. Then turn off the heat and let the cereal remain over the hot water until morning when you will reheat and serve. This makes four generous servings or six moderate servings. If you want to stand by and stir, you can cook all these whole grain cereals in about 20 to 25 minutes directly over the heat without a double-boiler, but you must keep stirring the mixture to prevent sticking and burning down. You will also find, as we have, that there are all manner of delectable combinations to be made with the different cereals, by mixing them, or by adding raisins, prunes, nuts, and other things that are good to eat. A word of explanation regarding Samp Cereal and Cracked Wheat Cereal. No matter how long you cook them they will never become a gooey soft cereal, but on the contrary, a cereal that is composed of particles like steamed rice, and therefore something that can be chewed. The original Samp was the name originally given by the Massachusetts Indians to a native corn they pounded into coarse meal with a pestle and mortar, said mortar being a hollowed-out tree stump and said pestle being a large wooden club hitched to a bentover sapling to lift it up. Samp mortars could be heard up and down Cape Cod and Long Island so that fog-bound sailors often found their way home on the Samp sound beam! Samp cereal is coarsely ground corn and wheat, blended.
