Hot cereal (7)
I believe the answer is:
oatmeal
'hot cereal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for oatmeal that I've seen before include "Colour - to a male (anag)" , "Sort of beige" , "ground food!" , "The stuff porridge is made from" , "The material for porridge" .)
