Just wondering how different countries enjoy their cereal (or other breakfast favorites)

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'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.

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.

I don’t really eat it anymore, but Alpha-bits was the best cereal in Canada.

Not surprised to hear Brits like to eat rocks.

Must be about as tasty as everything else you eat over there.

France, I don't really eat cereals from breakfast anymore, I'm more of a bread person. But as a kid, I used to sometimes eat Chocapik and Crunch. Both of them are owned by Nestle if I'm not mistaken, and I now boycott them. Tho I did find some off brand copy of Chocapik and tried it out a few months ago, it tasted just like the original.

Reese's Peanutbutter Puffs. US.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I haven't eaten cereal since I was like 12 or 13? I started to prefer spicy salty stuff in the morning pretty young. Give me hashbrowns drowning in hot sauce instead.

Post Grape Nuts: USA

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

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!

Grape Nuts Flakes when I can find it. Hard to find for some reason. :( US.

Canada, but I don't really like or eat any cereal. I can't get past more than few nibbles because of how sweet it all is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

US, not sure what it’s called because I very rarely eat cereal. Clusters was good but they quit making it so on the rare occasion that I’m eating cereal, I go for something that reminds me of Clusters.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Canada - a tossup between cinnamon toast crunch and whatever granola I can get my hands on.

US - cheerios with a sliced banana, and cinnamon toast crunch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

US - cheerios oat crunch

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

@NineMileTower @SendMePhotos I learned of the fairly hard to find apple cinnamon variety of Cheerios. Total game changer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Adding a datapoint for US and Cheerios.

Unless by cereal, OP means type of grass grain. Then my answer is Oats.

Barley crew checking in, wheat and rye are 2 and 3. They make the best beers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

Beef barley is also one of my favorite soups.
