I've heard my wife use /mOi55/ for rice congee. I've always called it

My _English-Hakka Dictionary_, based on "the 'Si-yan' as spoken on
Taiwan", uses a French-based romanization and has both <moe2> 糜 and
<tchouc6> 粥 listed under "gruel".

My mother learned from Mimi to call it "jook" (rhymes with book); it
was a turkey soup with a lot of rice in it.

Note in Dyl's minced diet menu that potatoes are mashed with lots of
butter and milk.

My mother several years after her stroke decided she wasn't going to
swallow -- she had no trouble chewing, but everything would get packed
into the cheeks instead. Except hot dogs. Which made no sense; she
hadn't eaten them in real life, but when they showed up in Meals on
Wheels (once a week, generally), no problem!
