GRUEL

Gruel

Gruel is a type of food consisting of some type of cereal—oat, wheat or rye flour, or rice—boiled in water or milk. It is a thinner version of porridge that may be more often drunk than eaten and may not need to be cooked. Historically, gruel—often made from millet, hemp or barley, or, in hard times, from chestnut flour or even the less tannic acorns of some oaks—has been a staple of the Western diet, especially for peasants.
