Farina is a type of hot cereal like cream of wheat but it has no flour or wheat bran.

Isn't Farina also a mustachioed actor who was in "Crime Story" and Midnight Run? |8-D

I thought Farina was the African-American child actor in the "Our Gang" series. (Pre-Buckwheat).

You are correct there was a character named Farina on Little Rascals, I believe he was named after the cereal just like Buckwheat is named after a type of grain. Don't even ask me why they named the actors after various types of wheat.
