      It’s definitely pre-cooked. But I think the precursor to modern boxed cereal is not gruel but rather breaking up something like a biscuit, cornbread, etc into a bowl of milk.

      One could also classify most if not all boxed cereals as desserts with the amount of sugar in them.

      I stick to just plain oatmeal with unsweetened almond milk.
