I haven't seen these password reset questions before

Lol partner and I were debating on what is considered "normal" for breakfast cereal (or other breakfast foods)

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'm from Morocco amd I haven't eaten cereal in decades.

I just eat the cake my grandmother makes, it always tastes really good. Sometimes with a nice milk coffee that I brew myself (infused with chocolate, of course). This is the best feeling I ever have during the day.

The one made using those donut-like pans.

Breakfast cake? Sign me up!

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It is indeed delicious once you try it.

Bowl of unseasoned pebbles (im br*t*sh)

Not surprised to hear Brits like to eat rocks.

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

[–] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Bees you knew personally? Amateur. I only eat honey from bees I've known biblically.

Bloody autocorrect - I wrote lesbeean!

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why not cook it on a stove, like someone who doesn't live in the stone age? You can add apples, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and some banana. It will taste pretty good.

Many people forget that you can add salt for better taste. If you're not watching your weight, add some peanut butter while it's cooling in your bowl. Or add some chocolate chips. Yes, I eat a lot of oatmeal. Rolled oats or steel cut.

[–] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I did cook it on the stove. Soaking the oats overnight beforehand makes it more unctuous imo. And of course I added a bit of salt, that goes without saying.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 7 months ago

US, Honey Bunches of Oats, eaten dry like a bag of chips.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 3 points 7 months ago

Another Scot here and I know it's not a cereal, but porridge.

When I'm having a bad day, the pouches you put some milk in and then microwave for two minutes are a really quick and (presumably) healthy breakfast that tastes good enough.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Golden Grahams, United States

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I live in Canada but was born in Mexico. My favourite cereal growing up was (and still is) chocokrispis which is basically just chocolate rice krispies but made with mexican chocolate. Also fucking love count chocula but that is a rare find nowadays, though I did find a chocolate lucky charms not too long ago which was delightful.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 7 months ago

Reese's Peanutbutter Puffs. US.

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] FeloniousPunk@lemmy.today 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I’m one of those weirdos that you hear about but never see: Grape Nuts.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Grape nuts and yogurt is my jam.

[–] BuckWylde@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Grape Nuts are so good

Corn flakes with a honey spoon, Portugal

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] Tamoato@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sugar Puffs. They can call it Honey Monster all they want, but it'll always be Sugar Puffs.

So this is the source of inspiration for those Team Fortress 2 SFM shorts.

[–] daddyjones@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Shredded Wheat - UK

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Steel cut oats with vanilla and chia seeds and cinnamon and brown sugar, just a tad, mm mm.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago

As a kid it would be Lucky Charms, but now I'm old it's Shreddies to keep me shitting.

Just basic oats, overnight oats or porridge with various fruits and nuts

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (6 children)

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

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.

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

I'll eat cereal when we get it for the kids but prefer granola, over Greek yogurt. Otherwise I go for overnight oats.

[–] JeffreyOrange@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

From germany, müsli Oats with nuts and fresh fruit, with milk or yoghurt in it Wouldn't eat cereal for breakfast, because it's the same as eating candy

[–] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I almost never eat cereal anymore, but when I did, it was mostly Mini Wheats (brown sugar to be more specific). Honey Comb is also a fantastic cereal. I’m Canadian.

I don’t typically eat breakfast, but as for alternatives, I just stick to a basic 3 fried eggs and toast. Sometimes I add in some home fries… Other times I’ll toss in a banana on the side as well.

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.

[–] nbailey@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Canada- my standard breakfast is oatmeal with homo milk and 2 spoonfuls of maple syrup or brown sugar, depending on the season. I try to get the maple syrup from the Amish/Menno dudes out in the country.

Breakfast cereal is a scam invented by a psychotic incel, but oatmeal is cheap and a good source of fibre.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

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

[–] Frog-Brawler@kbin.social 1 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.

[–] redditron_2000_4@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

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