@RasmaSandra @TheHorse It's the same in Germany. The older generation doesn't eat cereals, the young ones do.

Interesting. By the way, I was never a fan of raisin bran, though I'd eat it if starving (meaning nothing else was available).

I don't like cereal the way you do if at all.

It's boring! Bland. So, I "skip" it.

They don't know how to eat...sigh. Aloo paratha or idly or poori saag are the way to begin the day..sigh...but thank god for the Americans. If they would eat what we eat, our food and ingredients would become so expensive..LOL

One could add yogurt and fruit. But I eat it "old style."

Haha I love Weetabix, it's very popular here in the UK but I don't know about other countries. I also eat Porridge, it reminds me of being little when I was safe and warm living at home with my parents ..oh oh 'cereal' posters ..

Yes, eating oatmeal has the same "safe at home with parents" feel for me.

I used to be able to get a variety of mini Weetabix that had hazelnuts and raisins, but I can't find it here in the US anymore. Do they still have it in the UK?

I also do not mind cereal posters. At the moment I have Cheerio`s and its because I got them free and one dollar to boot for buying them with coupons.

The serial posting that gets me is the " I will write 10 now and flood the feed" so I read one and scroll and scroll and scroll past all the other posts. Its been a while since I watched SNL.

@ Ihave no idea what gruel is but I think it may be a thin kind of porridge. Porridge is oats cooked with water or milk. I make it with both and add a little sugar. In my childhood days you always had the cream of the milk with a bit of sugar on top.

We never had cereals when I was a kid, they came a lot later, in the middle 70's. I tried once, I do not like.

Interesting. Do you have "granola" there, which is considered a "healthy" cereal here?

@LadyDuck @TheHorse I've noticed that granola and muesli are very similar, although granola is mixed with oil and honey (or some other sweetener) and toasted in the oven, while muesli is merely combined and untoasted.

Cornflakes never quite got me interested. TJ has some called Heritage Flakes I like a lot, with some of their granola and Nancy's plain yogurt.

Wait, you think Cap'n Crunch gets soggy in milk, but corn flakes don't?? That was always the downfall of corn flakes for me, that they were almost instantly soggy.
