The best cereal

[Badger]

So what is the best cereal?

I usually go for Fruit n Fibre or Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

This morning I had a bowl of Shreddies and their claim about keeping hunger locked up til lunch is rubbish, I'm already hungry again.

Boring old Weetabix for me OK (the OK bit is for people old enough to remember the advert!)

 

[Jam The Man]

Oatiflakes are rather tasty

 

[pasty]

I'd rather have bowl of coco pops

currently I am mostly eating hoops

I always mix it up, put some raisin-filled shredded wheat, or honey-nut cornflakes, or shreddies in a bowl - then cover them up with a fruit/nut muesli.

Puts lead in the pencil.

About an hour later, I usually have a slice of bread and marmalade, so I won't go hungry before my time.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Start or Clusters are good

I do like the Special K range though

 

[Il Duce]

Coco pops and crunchy nut cornflakes. Trouble is you're hungry about half an hour after eating them. Bran flakes are the worst. Taste like wood chippings.

Ready Brek for that GLOW in the morning

I think this needs some polling!

Porridge is the longest laster there is especially with muesli on top!

At present, i am munching down on the Dorset Cereals, their raisins and heavy slabs of edible flake most pleasing. When something says it's healthy, i believe it. I imagine there's a society or law that makes them pay if what say is untrue and, in fact, their dry fruits are shrunken eyeballs with their every tear squeezed and sucked free into a pallet or petri dish.

Historically, the Frostie is great and the crunchy nut can fill a bowl with delight and toothbreaking smiles.

i've taken to eating those nutri-grain bars - quicker and eaiser a bowl of cereal and ,IMHO, tastier.

The trouble is there are so many cereals to choose from

 

[Starry]

Porridge! The proper stuff, not the faux stuff you put in the microwave. We add honey/jam/fruit depending on the mood. I always have two slices of triangle toast with marmite alongside it.

 

[surrey jim]

toast and bovril



oh....

 

[CHAPPERS]

I rather enjoy a nice bowl of START with ice cold MILK.

I did have some of them a while ago but they had a strange aftertaste IMO and I stopped eating them after finding out stuff like this:

McDonald Joyce is particularly critical of Nutri-Grain bars, which contain 31g of sugar per 100g, thanks to an ingredients list of high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup and sugar. "The packaging claims that there are 'wholesome ingredients in every bar', but this 'fruit-filled' cereal bar is only around 8% fruit and 34% cereal, so over half of the bar is made up of fillers, mostly sugar, fat and bulking agents. This is more of a confectionery bar than a nutritious breakfast food. In fact, Nutri-Grain bar is a third sugar. It should be called Nutri-Sugar, not Nutri-Grain," she claims.
