    With a spoon.

    Cereal and then milk. Anybody who does it in reverse is a psychopath and probably also inbred.

    Then I use a table spoon or teaspoon if I've no table spoons washed.

    Two Weetabix every morning. Loads of milk on top and stick it in the microwave for 2 minutes to take the cold out of it. Eat with a dessert spoon then.

    I have to admit that recently there were no clean spoons so I used a fork.

    Often sublingually and sometimes by rectal administration.

    With a spoon.

    Through a straw?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Apiarist


    I have picked "other" as I do not eat so called "breakfast cereals". They either contain a lot of sugar, or made of something resembling shredded cardboard. Also I find cold milk difficult to digest in the morning.

    For breakfast, I eat real cereals, that is oat or wheat porridge. Sometimes eggs, or the full Irish breakfast once a month or so.

    This probably isn't helpful, but my uncle used to have salad cream on his cereal.

    Crunched up Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies (mixed) with loads of milk, and through a straw is the only way to go. If there are no straws available, a tablespoon (which was omitted from the list) is allowed.

    I don't eat breakfast cereal. Used to have the occasional porridge. With a spoon. Actually and TBH I rarely eat breakfast, Generally don't eat until around noon. Mind you I'm weird so there's that.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    luxury



    Reminded me of the student days when nothing was washed.
    Open up a half empty milk carton, throw a couple of Weetabix , shake and go

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,202 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes

    The biggest bowl of Aspen you've ever seen, while enjoying the Sunday Express, in my bedroom where I composed 'The Joshua Tree'.

    NO !

    On cup porridge one cup milk one cup water and just the right amount of salt.

    You have to chew it. And you can feel it sitting in your stomach. Best winter breakfast if you want to fill full for ages.

    Had to do that once or twice myself when in collage as they had no spoons there. Was doable just a bit more work lol.

    Peace and long life.

    Bowl of coco pops as a sweet snack is lovely


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,222 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Two weetabix in a bowl and then add the milk.
    Milk has to be cold.
    For a strange reason I always use a teaspoon. The bigger spoon sort of overwhelms me.

    40g of porridge, one cup of water, a pinch of salt; 4 mins in the microwave. Sugar (I know, I know) and plenty of milk. Mix well and drink. :pac:

    30g porridge, ground cardamom, ginger and cinnamon, 300ml almond milk (unsweetened) and some chopped, dried apricots or some chopped apple. Leave to sit overnight, 3 minutes cooking in the morning. Bit of maple syrup if you fancy it. Delicious!

    Tried this, with some minor variations, this morning, and it was delicious.
