Since Greece is one of the Mediterranean countries, and there are many
ethnic food crossovers, it's easily possible that the background is similar
to Jewish cooking, etc - also, since there were so many war going back and
forth in that area its possible that people picked up other people's foods,
for instance, the unleaven bread the Jews ate with oils & fish on it was
brought back by the Roman soldiers and eventually became pizza as we know it
today....so who knows
My tolerance for Cream of Wheat is comparable to yours - I meant the peppers
used in the soup not just on Cream of Wheat (why ruin perfectly good
peppers. . .B-) )

Sharen,
There's a place called Galaxy Diner in Tucker that boasts 350 items on the
menu. It's run by a Greek family. When I went to check the place out I
tried the soup you mentioned - I liked it. I wondered what cultiure it
came from or if it was a Greek dish.
The Cream of Wheat I can tolerate with enough butter and sugar but I don't
buy it often. It's not something I would put pepper or pepper products
in.
The smell of the Malt O'Meal was enough to drive me away. It might have
been O.K. but why do it? Grits are everything I need in a mush type food
- and it does well with pepper powders or even regular peppers as given in
Risa's and other's recipes!
Another mush I found was Rice mush. It was grit sized particles and
boiled the same way but it seemed rather bland and not something you would
put cheese or peppers in. Then again, folks can do whatever they want
with any food!
This to me is the joy of peppers in cooking - they improve the original no
matter what you're eating!
Best Regards to All!
