Just wondering how different countries enjoy their cereal (or other breakfast favorites)

Reese's Peanutbutter Puffs. US.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

None of them. They are all highly processed garbage

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

True, but there's always delicious, hot whole-grain cereal. A little milk and sweetener (or subs), with maybe some raisins or dried fruit while cooking, and Bob's your uncle.

Steel-cut oats are my fave. Lots of fibre, good nutrients, it's nice & calming, and only takes about 10min to cook.

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.

[–] Starayo@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I visited once and tried cinnamon toast crunch. It's damn good cereal. Probably a good thing I can't get it here (Australia, and I technically can, it's just ridiculously overpriced at import shops) since it's definitely bad for me.

[–] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (3 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 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

There is a brand of crackers called Finncrisp which to me taste like savory grape nuts. Delicous!

Mueslix. A cereal adopted from other countries that I can now get in the US. Oats, nuts, raisins and dates. Super yummy.

And when I get the craving — Lucky Charms.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I had lucky charms for lunch Wednesday because one of my schools was about to throw them away. Can't remember the last time i had them. Magically delicious!

[–] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 6 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.

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 6 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.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Granola with raisins, dried cranberries, dates, walnuts, and almonds with greek yoghurt instead of milk. United States of America.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 5 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.

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

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Canada - a tossup between cinnamon toast crunch and whatever granola I can get my hands on.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 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.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 4 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.

US. rolled oats usually with milk, raisins or fresh fruit and some nuts. Brown sugar, honey or maple syrup if I’m feeling it.

The lazy alternative to rolled oats is plain Cabot full fat Greek yogurt. Love that stuff.

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

Canada, but I don't really like or eat any cereal. I can't get past more than few nibbles because of how sweet it all is.

US-Waffle Crisp followed by Golden Crisp.
