The Best Breakfast Cereal Ever

[Treebeak]

Start. Do they still make that? Although I dont eat cereal anymore. The milk thing puts me off.

I switched to a little bit of fruit juice - The Lidl pear or peach goes great with cereal.

Nothing beats Porridge in the winter.

I'm making a special effort to eat breakfast at the moment and I'm on a mission to find which one I like best, which is why I've got 5 packets of different cereals in my kichen cupboard atm.

I used to love weetabix and shredded wheat when i was a kid. I was never allowed cornflakes.

These days I go for combinations - a little meusli - some whole food rice things - a few wholemeal flakes - and a little added berries and seeds. Pine-nuts always go down well.

All in furit juice sweetened organic soya milk. Loverly!

Shreddies. Understated but ultimately tasty and they stay cripsy in the milk for ages Sadly they're Nestle so the vote has to go for "Generic non-Nestle Shreddies-a-like with soya-based milk-substitute"

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes come in close seconds for sheer gorgeous luxuriance, but they're not a good, everyday stalwart like the old Shredmeisters.

Golden Nuggets, as they were in the 70s. Not now.

Special K, again as they used to be, saucer shaped - not the flakey shite ye have now.

Some of the American cereals, Lucky Charms. Right tasty.

I remember when Ricicles had characters from the Magiv Roundabout adorning the box.

I seem to remember Sooty & Sweep guesting on boxes too.

I'm not imagining all this. This was my childhood.

With you there on the Shreddies dilemma, subvers. A former fave. And they used to have Tom & Jerry on the box when they were Nabisco-owned...

Nope, those are Nestle made too. They co-own Cereal Partners who also make virtually all the own-brand cereals in the UK. AFAIK, Lidl & Aldi are the exceptions who use someone else.

Special K
Weetabix


Honey Nut Cornflakes are the best!!

 

[brixtonvilla]

Good:

Conflakes with raisins & strawberries in summer.
Special K Red Berries.
Unsweetened Alpen.
Shreddies.
Porridge with raisins, banana & maple syrup in winter.

Bad:

Frosties/Sugar Puffs/Coco Pops/anything sugar laden & aimed at kids.
All Bran - like eating twigs.
Weetabix - babyfood slop.

I love breakfast cereal, me. Apart from the stuff in the "bad", list. Obviously.

 

[moose]

They're all a bit rubbish when you don't have milk - takes ages to eat them because they won't stay on the spoon.

 

[gentlegreen]

Special K "Medley" - a muesli type thing

luckily they don't stock it at my local shops ....

 

[electrogirl]

I used to love Golden Grahams. Can't find them anywhere now. They were lush and the name makes me chuckle somewhat.

 

[snorbury]

Porridge with raisins; saves money, saves your teeth, reduces cholesterol and makes you strong like an ox

they're sold in tescos near me bees eats them by the truckload

 

[butterfly child]

I'm afraid I like the sugar laden - Cocopops, etc.

But I do also like the twig munchingness of All Bran, etc.

So there.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

I heart Branflakes

[mwgdrwg]

It's lovely. The yoghurt coated bars are very nice too.

 

[waverunner]

Weetbix with milk and loads of honey

 

[beeboo]

My favourie cereal...

oooh yes! I was trying to remember what this was called. I used to package it up in little bags for lunch and eat them like crisps

Me too

 

[crustychick]

My alltime fav cereal has to be Kashi. 7 whole grains or something like that. Kinda like sugar puffs without the honey monster or any horrible additives. you can also get a honey sweetened one.

De-lish. With rice milk (rice dream anyway) I find ya don't need the sweetened one as I find that quite sweet anyway.

Kashi has been bought over though and is now made by Kellogs. On a positive though, this means it is now available in some supermarkets and not just in "health food" shops.

They only have bloody Cinnamon ones in my supermarket. I'm moving tomorrow though and my first mission will be to hunt some down. Priorities y'know?

 

[Bob_the_lost]

Cocopops and crunchy nut cornflakes.

*me goes in search of more refined sugars*

Cuntbastards extraordinaire! Lidl it is then. Thankfully I'm moving near a Lidl soon. Thank heavens for those weird German brands!

with hot tea (no milk )

Tea. On cereal... Genius!

 

[Idaho]

I make my own breakfast cereal. How's that for muesli-knitting worthyness?

Almost all cereal - even the claimed to be healthy stuff (Fruit and Fibre, Bran Flakes, Special K) has shit loads of sugar and salt in it.
