    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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

    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.

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

    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 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.

    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.

    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.
