That might be Depression Era food, because my Mom fixed it a lot (with cinnamon, too), and she was not the Croatian part of the family.

My Irish uncle used to eat rice with sugar and cream. He was one of 13 children. I think that was a stretch the food thing. When I took him to a Chinese restaurant when he visited us in Hawaii, he wanted sugar and cream for his rice. He was in his 70's then and loved that.
