After about two decades of not eating breakfast and not being a "morning person", I've been making a real attempt to wolf something down before heading out the door recently in the interests of not entirely subsisting on coffee for half the day.

Holy jesus, how good is cereal though? I've been through Cheerios, Special K (bleh at best tbh), honey loops, crunchy nut cornflakes (HOLY MOTHER OF GOD YES) and am currently mid way through a box of coco pops and actively open to suggestions for my next fix.

What's your favourite cereal AH?

How are you still alive? :eek:

I like Cheerios. Although lately I've been getting the variety packs and just mixing random cereals together and seeing what happens. Frosties and Coco Pops work rather well. I call them Frosty Pops.

Golden Grahams.

Oh sweet baby Jesus.

Full time porridge man. People complaining about taste need to get a little creative.

Yes I love porridge. Flahavans do a nice fruit one. Has to be cooked on the hob though. None of this microwave sh1te. 50:50 milk and water. Add a squirt of maple syrup and top off with a little cream to serve

You know that porridge is naturally gluten free?

Non "gluten free" porridge isn't suitable for ceoliacs because it's processed in areas where cross contamination may occur, but porridge is gluten free.

God, I’d love to have my **** together enough to be able to get up on time and have breakfast. Never gonna happen

Surreptitious · 04-10-2017 09:51PM

I love porridge especially the ones with berries or seeds.

Mister Vain · 04-10-2017 09:52PM

Porridge and honey is the way to go. Stay away from the protein porridge though. It tastes like wallpaper paste.

Not too concerned about the brand as long as it's as unprocessed as possible. I'm quite a fan of overnight oats with some form of nut milk, cacao powder, a banana, some nut butter and strawberries or blueberries. The thought of cooking in the morning at all is madness to me unless it's a Sunday.

whoopsadoodles · 04-10-2017 09:54PM

And if your porridge has fruit or flavouring in it before you cook/prepare it, you might as well have the crunchy nut cornflakes

Does anyone else only eat cereal at night ?

Fosted Wheats in that small red box was another one

The crack cocaine of the breakfast world

Think they were withdrawn mid noughties

I used to love Golden Grahams. My dad would get them for us “as a treat”. Could you ever get them in Ireland? Or can you get them now? Haven’t seen them in years..

Love Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. And a certain type of granola you can get in Aldi. Can’t ever buy any of these cereals though as I just end up eating the whole pack in one evening...like a packet of biscuits

I have Weetabix for breakfast. At least they have a low enough sugar content...

stampydmonkey · 04-10-2017 10:10PM

Crushed up crunchy nut cornflakes with ice cold milk is my favourite but RAISIN WHEATS are a very close second. Tesco do a decent version but u cant beat the original..delish

Oh, and finely ground porridge. It's so creamy if you leave it overnight in the milk.

Yeh you can buy the big packs and in the wee "pic a pac" (the peasant country cousin of Kelloggs variety packs) you could get cinnamon Grahams which were essentially sex in a box. Pun intended.

Alf Veedersane · 04-10-2017 10:21PM

While I'm at it, is 'overnight oats' not just cold porridge?

Or is it some sort of oaty yoghurt thing?

stampydmonkey · 04-10-2017 10:21PM

Can you still get the variety pack of mini kelloggs cereals? The all out war they used to cause at the kitchen table.

Mine has yogurt/almond milk/chia seeds/ground almonds/whey protein/berries.

Aka. Pretentious wanker breakfast.

So good though.

Oh wow think I’ll buy some tomorrow...it’s been about 15 years!

Yeah I only got some yesterday in centra. I used to love the Kelloggs Start but I haven't seen that in a while.

Oh they still have it in my local supervalu. Years since I had some.

God I must sound like I stand in the cereal aisle drooling like a teenage boy in the red light district.

I do.

crosstownk · 04-10-2017 10:42PM

Lidl luxury muesli is top notch. The one in the blue bag.

Their granola mix is quite good too.

Enough coffee to knock out a horse, basically. Though I've been strictly caffeine-free the last few weeks and trying out this whole food-in-the-morning lark instead.

Yeah it's a new one for me admittedly. I'm the worst type of human in the morning and will do anything to spend a few minutes more in bed. I generally feel nauseous in the morning too so at the moment it means I can't eat anything passed about 6pm the evening before in order to have any kind of appetite when I wake. It's all part of my grand plan really -

1. Get up in time for breakfast in the morning
2. Get up in time for a gym session in the morning
3. World domination

_Dara_ · 04-10-2017 11:56PM

Not really a cereal person but hate really sugary ones, so if I had to choose, it’d be cornflakes, rice crispies or Special K.

And before anyone says, I realise the above cereals are sugary enough, but I mean the type of cereal that makes the milk really sweet. Yuck.

Against popular opinion, I think crunchy nut cornflakes are revolting. It’s the sweet milk thing. Just no.

lukesmom · 05-10-2017 12:02AM

I usually have alpen or porridge. Favourite would be coco pops and corn pops. As a kid I loved the above and ricicles

Noveight · 05-10-2017 12:06AM

Porridge with a good blob of maple syrup!

Cereal-wise I'd play it safe with Special K or Cheerios. Used to really like Just Right muesli too.

Lorelli! · 05-10-2017 09:51AM

I like Start, Special K and Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. Always have a box of Weetabix in the house.

I remember my friend's brother use to pride himself on the amount of Weetabix he could consume in a morning. It was something like eight every morning.

What's your favourite cereal?
