They mix the millet with sour milk an sugar for dessert and use mix it with any combination of meats, sauces and oils... palm oil (really bright orange) is common and so is peanut sauce... Where I was in the Western Sub, they pronounced it Mee-luo,

They cook it and serve it as side dish, in South Africa, with just about everything. Like grits, it can be a breakfast food, but it is also served as a side dish with diner. My son-in-law and his sister, have yet to send me any recipes, where it is mixed with meat/s. It's the way it's served, by Africaners, that I am talking about, from Jo'burg to Pretoria,to the Free Orange State. And then there's something called Pootckies ( that isn't the right spelling, forgive me, I wrote it phonetically. , which it is also served WITH, not mixed into.

In Brasil, breakfast at times and the big Sunday meal called Fejoada (fe-joe-a-da) comes with ground dried cassava (yucca) called farinha (fa-rin-nyha).

It is fairly grits like too and can be made into a gruel as well.

My own tatse for gruel has never been grits oddly. I prefer sweetened cream of wheat with milk or cream or stone cut oats in the same manner.

Little morsels of info everyone simply must have..lol
