Inspired by a MyLot member, I found an old friend!

I feel generous today. Have some umlauts. ÄÄÄ äää / ÖÖÖ ööö / ÜÜÜ üüü. I knew that Müsli was invented in Switzerland (the ending -li is typical for Swiss German), but didn't know that there is a name to the story. "Muesli: A Brief History Posted by Ian Szalinski on the site: The word muesli is a Swiss-German variation of the German word “müs” meaning porridge and the diminutive suffix, “-li.” The “invention” of muesli is credited to Swiss physician and nutritional pioneer, Maximilian Bircher-Benner. The recipe consisted of oat flakes, raw apples, condensed milk, nuts and lemon juice and it led Dr. Bircher-Benner to overwhelming improvements in the health of many of his patients. Dr. Bircher-Benner determined that much of the sickness experienced by his patients could be alleviated with increased exercise and a more nutritious diet. He was able to heal and prevent disease through a diet rich in raw grains, fruits, and vegetables, and with moderate exercise including walking and gardening daily. The first mass-produced muesli was introduced in 1959 by Somalon AG (now bio-familia AG), a Swiss company that got its start with muesli. Somalon AG used Dr. Bircher-Benner’s recipe to create Bio-Birchermuesli, “the healthy food for the whole family.” Bio-Birchermuesli was exported to Germany, the US, Austria, England and the Netherlands in 1960. In the 1970s, Somalon introduced “Crunchy Muesli,” a muesli toasted with sugars and oils, similar to today’s granolas. The product was introduced in response to US taste preferences."

Glad you enjoyed the cereal. I like maple and brown sugar oatmeal and many other items as well.

I know exactly what you are talking about and Muesli being European mostly was the best you could purchase of cereal in Latvia. It was the healthiest and all of the imported and well-known cereals just cost an arm and a leg so it made no sense to buy them.

We can choose from a myriad of muesli types here. Many are high in sugar though. My brother-in-law concocts his own.

ä ë ï ö ü. I have them on my phone. I have had Müesli.

I'm not sure, I think the Kroger store has Muesli but, I never bought it myself. Back in the 70s, I use to buy granola, in a few different brands. Country Morning was my favorite, with raisins. Enjoy your cereal!

You say muesli, I say granola... or something like that.

I too like this. I have tried different varieties, though we have not been having it very regularly in the past few months. I enjoy it with added fruits- mainly bananas. And I am wondering that this discussion did not helped you earn $BBB.GG + $Delta2 to help in your 2710 Porsche Buy!!

Oh yes, I like it. I do not eat lots of it for breakfast but as a snack from time to time.

I hadnt thought about Muesli in years!

Yes, I know what Muesli is. I'm not big on breakfast. I'd prefer a donut and coffee.
