We have three separate senses: "a hot breakfast cereal or porridge made with farina (ground wheat) or semolina"; "semolina pudding"; "cream of wheat". But from what I can see (Google Books, Wikipedia) this is a specific capitalised brand name referring to one specific manufactured cereal product. Equinox 19:12, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If so, it may have become genericized. I suggest using the CFI for brand names. bd2412 T 23:49, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I found three citations of it in lower case; two describe it as hot, leading me to conclude they support the first definition. - -sche (discuss) 02:40, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
