Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing.

Editing to add: I do drink the milk from the bowl. As to when I’m eating it “in public:” hotels mostly. Self-conscious was probably the wrong word. I’m more wondering if people silently judge a grown person drinking cereal milk from the bowl. Not losing sleep if they do, just curious.

    Lots of cultures drink things from bowls. It’s perfectly acceptable IMHO. I don’t know why Americans have such a problem with it. I always drink my pho and ramen broth from the bowl after I eat the solid stuff. The broth is the best part of those dishes on purpose, so leaving it behind is dumb.
