My Mom made this for us growing up and I made it for my kids which all loved it. My son-in-law thought I was making this up so was so glad to see this! I love it!!!

My dad made this for us four kids growing up and we loved it! He told us it was a poor persons meal.

My grandmother on my moms side made this every Christmas, and when I was twelve years of age, she taught me to make it. She would add 3/4 cup of sugar to the mix and a teaspoon of salt which improved it greatly. I have since removed the salt as it is restricted in my diet. I make it in 2 gallon batches and give it to friends of Norsk heritage. A small bowl of this in the morning will keep you going till past lunch!

I was surprised to see rommegrat and milk mush being represented as the same thing. My Norwegian family has traditional fare every Christmas, from main course through dessert; and rommegrat, which makes its own butter, is made with cream. Milk mush is made with milk. Both are served the same, in the end, however. Long live lutefisk, lefse, krumkake, rosettes, sandbakkels, rullepolsa, rommegrat, etc!

My Grandma could never understand why I always asked for rommegrot for breakfast when I stayed with her. She would wrinkle her nose and say, "Ya, milk mush, oof da." And then make it! I loved it, and her for making it. This was in the 1950's
