What's Your Favorite Cereal

[Meadow Skipper]

I hardly ever eat cereal. Camping, I'll eat oatmeal mixed with granola. If all I have is granola, I'll mix it with orange juice because I pretty much hate milk. Granola makes me fart.

Yeah, ^that was seriously boring, but this whole thread is kind of boring so I felt challenged to put up the most boring post.

Except that it reminded me of Colon Blow - that was cool.

First place: Peanut butter puffins mixed with choco chimps.

Second place: Raisin Bran with Honey Nut Cheerios.

If you're not mixing and matching you're missing out.

Right? I have turned my wife on to the ways of mixing cereal and she is now enlightened as well.

no wonder that America is fat

I know dumping on America is a fun hobby for you but come on man, Canada runs on Tim Horton's and there are more Rob Fords than Justin Trudeaus.



Do they not get cereal up north or is it all donuts?

[XXX-er]

Actualy the Americans i have met tell me that America is way fatter than Canada but america would include Canada cuz we were both sold the idea that fat will make you fat but sugar and carbs are fine which is completely backasswards ... poor dietary choices eh

I have been (slowly) switching over to higher (good) fat/less carbs, but carbs are just so damn delicious.

[Sluff]

Count Chocula. The milk at the end is all time.

[half-fast]

I ate Raisin Bran for years. Almost forgot about grape nuts. Just do a smoothie now.

Last I heard 8% fatter, and yup, look no further than empty carbs and sugar.

Now, let's get back to the great musli - count chocula debate of 2017.

Raisin Nut Bran and Life

I switched awhile back and I can't eat that stuff, its too sweet for me too much fluff no substance and the GF can't eat gluten so it s a whole lot of meat/vegies/potatoes/rice washed down with a whole lot of coffee & red wine

[RShea]

Can't really eat the same cereal day after day-except maybe Cinnamon Toast Crunch, maybe. Have to switch it up with Golden Graham, Rice Chex, Raisan Bran, and a few others from time to time like Shredded Wheat or even Special K. Younger years it was Frosted Flakes that could have been day after day....

[The AD]

My go-to these days is Almond Honey Bunches of Oats. Guilty pleasure is Reese's Puffs. I'll bet I've eaten cereal for breakfast well over 90% of the days in my life. My favorite when I was a kid was Cocoa Pebbles. I still buy a box maybe once a year for old time's sake.

[iceman]

When I was a kid I would never eat breakfast. Not sure why, I just never wanted it. So I really kind of missed the whole cereal thing. Which has made adulthood an awesome voyage of discovery.

I know dumping on America is a fun hobby for you but come on man, Canada runs on

What I've noticed is that canada is a place people are from but never at.

[EZB]

XXX-er prolly already said it (me = skimmed da thread)...

At least 60% of the cereals listed in this thread, if you'd just bought your favorite cookies and some milk, it'd be less expensive and probably less unhealthy.

FWIW I tend to eat only unhealthy crap, but not much cereal LOL.

[Flyoverland Captive]

Chocolate Brownie Lara bar and a glass of fizzy water. I don't like milk.

Or an egg-hash browns-sausage-cheese bake, if my wife has the morning off.

[Peruvian]

Over the course of my life, I've eaten cereal almost every morning. As a kid I would eat Cream of Wheat. Literally every day until I was about 14. Then I changed to Honey Nut Cheerios until I was 35 or so. I ate Honey Bunches of Oats for 10 years or so. Now I eat the store brand of HBOA which has less sugar.

I at eggs, pancakes, etc about once a month.

I LOVE milk.

Curious - what's the go to breaky? Trying to cull the choco-covered sugar puffs in the am. It's just so quick and easy. And you know i am both.

But for thread - Honey Nut Cheerios

[iceman]

Honey nut cheerios are in the rotation, I like them. sweet but not diabetic sweet.

I'm gonna throw a wrench in this whole thing - I don't have a lifetime of cereal-eating invested, so when a friend said just try almond milk with your cereal, it's way better, I did, and it is.

Fuck a bunch of cow juice (except in my daily ice coffee, it doesn't work without milk, almond milk is terrible in it).

[Kopi_Red]

1. Honey Nut Cheerios (80% of the time)
2. Raisin Bran Crunch (10%)
3. Raisin Bran (5%)
4. Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs (5%)

No almond milk for me. Moo Juice FTW.

[iceman]

Have you tried the almond nectar? I'm not on a mission to convert anyone (much). Cows need jobs too, I'm not against that. This is a taste thing. Almond milk clearly tastes better, in the cereal application, than regular milk. No doubt in my mind.

I can put up big days on a fried egg sandwich for breakfast and a landjaeger sandwich for lunch so lotsa protien eh, but if the Yogini wants me to make something less minimalist I make a frittata out of whatever leftovers in the fridge need eating, some whipped eggs, cover with cheese & broil

I was thinking that "they" the dieticians/health pro's are now saying all that shit IS shit and "they" admit they were wrong about carbs being good and eggs being bad, but food companies are still making bank selling this shit "they" certianly got you habituated to eat that stuff cuz lookat y'all ... grown men eating like 8yr olds


I'm thinking pa didn't eat that shit on the farm so wtf is wrong with ya bye?

[iceman]

...pa didn't eat that shit on the farm so wtf is wrong with ya bye?

I like the way you did that, I really like the "bye" as a transliteration of "boy", it's right on.

But are you Scots-Asian or something like that?

Just asking because that's not the way they talk on that other side of the world as you know full well.

The idea that carbs are "bad" is just as silly. Everything in moderation.

I'm guessing XXXer has been around a few Newfs over the years. They're good with the "yiss b'y" as a standard reply.

As a kid the favorite cereal was mni-wheats, cinnamon toast, golden grahams, many others. Mixing a few different kinds together was common.
In my 20's and early 30's it was Alpen, weetabix with bananas, brown sugar or honey or both.
Gave up cereal in my 40's... well except the gf still buys honeycombs, froot loops, capn crunch for last night snacks.
