prettygoodwordfrumenty (FROO-muhn-tee), also fromenty, furmenty, furmity - n., a porridge made from hulled wheat boiled in milk and then sweetened and spiced.
An old dish -- it was frequently the first dish in a medieval English feast -- but still made under variant names today. Spicings can include cinnamon, plums, and/or raisins. The name was borrowed in the 14th century from Anglo-French furmenté, from furment or frument grain, from Latin frumentum.
