What was GROUL the food they ate in the last century?

Answer 1

I believe you might mean "gruel". Gruel is basically a very thin watery porridge-type hot cereal. It was made from a variety of different kinds of grain, whatever was available at the time.

Answer 2

This looks yummy NOT




Basic bug groul with rehydration formula



Bug Groul
Bug groul is basically up to you. Here is what i suggest as the core of it:

12 Large earthworms
3 dozen large crickets, if you use smaller crickets add a donzen or two.
25 medium mealworms

If availble, add any non-whole prey item you wish... waxworms, silkies, butter worms, pheonix worms, roaches, ect.

1/2 a banana

this is when you break into the fridge, if you have any veggies lying around use them. My suggestions are as follows, summer squash, zuchini, green beans, freash peas, carrots. the point of the veggies is to add fiber to their diet. Do not add much, the amount of veggies you add needs to be half the amount of the banana.

1/2 teaspoon calcium supplement without D3
1/4 teaspoon vitamin/mineral supplement.
Gerber liquilytes electrolyte mix, one bag DO NOT ADD WATER

I use gerber liquilytes, they come in individual packets to make 6 oz. This is equivelent to pedialyte, it just comes in a powder form to be mixed. It comesw in two flavors that i know of, apple and mixed berry, go for the berry, though ultimatly it doesn’t matter. I’ve found it at cvs, walgreens, and babies r us. usually hangin on a clip strip. The adavantage of the powder form is that you can dump it in and mix with with the food, no water needed. If you use liquid pedialyte you essentially dilute the food.

Puree, i suggest buying a 10 dollar mixer to do the job. Puree it until its liquid. If you are squirmish about it get someone else with a stomach to do it. Or just push blend and run

I do not remember where i bought my ice tray, probably walmart. They are light blue and make about 60 small ice cubes. You need to freeze the extra, how you do it doesn’t matter, but i suggest freezing it in indivdual meal sizes

Answer 3

Groul

Answer 4

It is a thin porridge made from oatmeal. It is still available and is very good for the cholesterol. I like it but I suspect I make it unlike something they ate in the 19th century.

Answer 5

Porridge

Answer 6

Gruel is basically a thin porridge or soup. The main forms of gruel include rice gruel, flour gruel and millet gruel. Other base ingredients you can boil include breadcrumbs or ground crackers.

Answer 7

You must have been watching a rerun of "Oliver Twist", but not reading the book, as it's "GRUEL". Workhouse or invalid food, it's a very thin, watery or milky oatmeal porridge. Cheap workhouse grub or easily digested by sick people.

Answer 8

Gruel, mate, Gruel!

All the previous answerers have a point. I recall (well not literally!) that in the last century but one, a kind of alcoholic gruel/stew was on sale. Hardy refers to it as "fermity" , as I recall it.

Answer 9

If you mean Gruel, it is a thin soup made with flour and maybe some old bread crusts thrown in...this was only eaten by the poorest sods.
