what we have now is a self-defeating hypothesis....all the quirkier minds here are now on the lookout for threads with obscure and off-the-wall titles. TRUE creativity would concoct a thread title that didn't push ANY buttons, but I suspect that would be quite difficult under the circumstances.

When the Russians saw how successful Paul Newman's Movie "Cool Hand Luke" was, they made a version of their own. It was about an heroic Ukranian peasant who fed the poorest people in the land. They called the movie "Gruel Hand Uke".

AND your were imprecise- the title asks for Brazilian recipes for gruel, and you question ( why ask if you don't want a reply) is "Does anyone have a recipe handy for Brazilian gruel? " Not quite the same.

In Brazil, Goma, a manioc starch, fills the stomach. In fact, the manioc root may be viewed as the symbolic plant, which, when made into a gruel, fills babies' stomachs for mothers who can no longer provide breast milk because of chronic malnutrition. This gruel is used by the middle and upper classes as a traditional satisfier for hungry babies. Comidinhas, little foods, are often classified as luxury foods for the rich and filling foods for the poor (Scheper-Hughes, 1992).

sorry, best I can do....

and nice try.

Gruel is a very thin porridge, usually made to feed invalids or the elderly. Does anyone have a recipe handy for Brazilian gruel?
