While Cinnamon Toast Crunch is good favorite. I'd have to say Cocoa Puffs beats it, and every other cereal to the ground.

cereal

As a fraternity cook, I've found Cinnamon Toast Crunch to be a big favorite but Frosted mini wheats are also in demand. Captain crunch is popular-more so than the Smart Start I introduced, which is consumed by the food-conscious-few.
The Essential Ten cereal we occasionally eat at home is probably not of much interest to anybody but it's high in fibre, low in fat. How fun is that-especially with nonfat milk?

i like mini wheats with dried fruit in them. They are very healthy but costly so I do not buy them. Coco pops (coco puffs is a homebrand item and is not near the quality of coco pops but I do not know the situation in the USA) is very nice but still too expensive and very bad for your health. Wheatbix is good for you and fairly cheap but they are very boring. I usually don't eat breakfast anyway.

Japanese are not use to eating cereals for breakfast. This is seen as 100% western food and supermarkets charge as crazy for a pack of cereals. Something like 500 yens at least for a small pack (do not even expect 300g in it)!

Of course, cereals with chocolate are the best. :razz: I have not eaten such cereals for a year and a half now! Life is terrible abroad. :(
Not mother tongue. Sorry for the mistakes.

Weetabix is .... disgusting. I have never seen any substance become so instantly soggy. Meanwhile, I may need to change my choice, Shredded Wheat in all its forms just rules.

I crack wheat from my stockpile and cook it in a mini-crock pot with a timer set to have it ready when I get up. About $.02/serving and lots of protien and fiber.

Life or Golden Grahms.

I actually like it soggy. put it in a bowl, crush it down nice and hard with another bowl on top, see if there's room to add more, repeat until bowl is full. Add milk to form a slurry.

I know... disgusting.

But I love it!! :oops:

some folks use a thermos to pour the hot water in and let it cook.

I still call it cattle feed, but at least you don't pay much for it either. :)

Thermos cooking-I tried it on cerial. You have to preheat the thermos with boiling water and then pour boiling hot food in. which means heating twice the volume of liquid to boiling. The crock pot method is simpler in times of cheap and reliable electricity. But I do have a couple wide-mouth thermoses from the thrift store put away to use in times when the method is appropriate.

What we now feed our cattle may soon be our primary staple food when the cattle that used to eat it have all been eaten themselves.

I found out about thermos cooking at Kurt Saxon's Web Site. A lot of practical advice on how to keep eating in hard times as those around you get hungry.

Golden Grahams suck. I hate that crap. It gets soggy after about 11 seconds.

The good cereals are:
Frosted Miniwheats
Honey Nut Cheerios
Frosted Flakes
Cracklin' Oat Bran (trust me)
Life
Corn Flakes
Chex (but not the rice kind)
Special K (not my absolute favorite, but still good)
Lucky Charms (of course)
Alpha Bits (good, but not the best)
Honey Comb (If you don't like Honey Comb, I can't respect you as a human being. I'm sorry, but it's true)

All other cereals are evil and should be destroyed.

Especially the ones that get soggy in the time it takes to go into the kitchen to get a spoon.

Oh, and Rice Crispies are particularly evil. I can't stand the noise. It vexes me greatly. I can eat that stuff dry, but with milk...no way José.

All I can say is, try Honey Comb cereal. After you eat a bowl or two of that stuff, come talk to me. Until then, you don't know what you're talking about. :x

Typical "Saxon" ( Don Sysco) his info is spotty. Thank you for the updated information neo-peasent.

In my family we add some carrots, meat and other veggies allong with grains (rice or barley) and throw it into a crock pot w/ water... we call it "Chalunt"

real good on a winter day, but a little on the fatty side, especialy with "Kishka" (spiced, ground up intestines...it's absalutely delicious I swear!).

Before crock pots these meals were left on covered coals all night, and eaten about 9-11 AM still very hot and warming on a cold winter day.
