Question: what is the difference between cream of wheat and oatmeal?
Answer: Oatmeal is also made with oats rather than wheat, which is perhaps the main difference between these two types of hot cereals, and though oatmeal can be gluten-free, Cream of Wheat is, almost by definition, packed with gluten. Making hot cereal with farina isn't anything new, however, nor is Cream of Wheat.
