What is your favorite cereal and what country are you from?
Just wondering how different countries enjoy their cereal (or other breakfast favorites)
True, but there's always delicious, hot whole-grain cereal. A little milk and sweetener (or subs), with maybe some raisins or dried fruit while cooking, and Bob's your uncle.
Steel-cut oats are my fave. Lots of fibre, good nutrients, it's nice & calming, and only takes about 10min to cook.
confused me at first because we have a cereal called (fruity) pebbles and I was wondering who was seasoning them!
Not surprised to hear Brits like to eat rocks.
Must be about as tasty as everything else you eat over there.
I am in the US. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my absolute favorite followed by Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch. I haven't has either in years and I'm not even sure they still make PB Crunch.
I visited once and tried cinnamon toast crunch. It's damn good cereal. Probably a good thing I can't get it here (Australia, and I technically can, it's just ridiculously overpriced at import shops) since it's definitely bad for me.
Lol partner and I were debating on what is considered "normal" for breakfast cereal (or other breakfast foods)
Porridge. And yes, I do live in Scotland. I have just put some oats in a pot to soak overnight. I will be eating it with milk, and with honey made by bees I knew personally. Yum.
Why not cook it on a stove, like someone who doesn't live in the stone age? You can add apples, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and some banana. It will taste pretty good.
Many people forget that you can add salt for better taste. If you're not watching your weight, add some peanut butter while it's cooling in your bowl. Or add some chocolate chips. Yes, I eat a lot of oatmeal. Rolled oats or steel cut.
I did cook it on the stove. Soaking the oats overnight beforehand makes it more unctuous imo. And of course I added a bit of salt, that goes without saying.
@NineMileTower @SendMePhotos I learned of the fairly hard to find apple cinnamon variety of Cheerios. Total game changer
Adding a datapoint for US and Cheerios.
Unless by cereal, OP means type of grass grain. Then my answer is Oats.
Grape nuts should interest any brewer. I think they taste just like malted barley. Check out the ingredients:
- Whole Grain Wheat Flour
- Malted Barley Flour
- Salt
- Dried Yeast.
Grape nuts is one of those American things that I read about in magazines and couldn't quite picture; more like nuts, dry and crunchy, or more like grapes, super juicy? I still have never even seen them, so it's interesting to see the ingredient list. Yeast? Weird
They’re about the size and shape of grape seeds; maybe a little bigger and rounder. I assume that’s where the name comes from. So just imagine a bowl full of little crunchy grape seeds that smell and taste like malted barley.
I love them but they’re definitely controversial. Also good heated up in the microwave for a bit. This is an advanced Grape nut move and probably not too well known.
There is a brand of crackers called Finncrisp which to me taste like savory grape nuts. Delicous!
Mueslix. A cereal adopted from other countries that I can now get in the US. Oats, nuts, raisins and dates. Super yummy.
And when I get the craving — Lucky Charms.
I had lucky charms for lunch Wednesday because one of my schools was about to throw them away. Can't remember the last time i had them. Magically delicious!
Kellog's Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, Scotland. Not remotely a good breakfast, but a fucking amazing Cereal
Granola with raisins, dried cranberries, dates, walnuts, and almonds with greek yoghurt instead of milk. United States of America.
I'm from Australia, but now live in England.
Cereal? I've not really eaten it since I was a kid. But I always preferred something plain - without sugar or such. Weet(a)bix, porridge, or - if I had no other choice - Special K.
I've always hated sugary stuff before noon. Don't ask me why. Meanwhile, my friends would pile tablespoons of sugar on their sugary super-sugar sugar puffs.
These days, I have a single slice of toast with butter. With a cup of tea (milk, no sugar). Perfection.
