Just wondering how different countries enjoy their cereal (or other breakfast favorites)
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.
US, Honey Bunches of Oats, eaten dry like a bag of chips.
US - cheerios with a sliced banana, and cinnamon toast crunch
Adding a datapoint for US and Cheerios.
Unless by cereal, OP means type of grass grain. Then my answer is Oats.
Barley crew checking in, wheat and rye are 2 and 3. They make the best beers.
Beef barley is also one of my favorite soups.
Grape nuts should interest any brewer. I think they taste just like malted barley. Check out the ingredients:
- Whole Grain Wheat Flour
- Malted Barley Flour
- Salt
- Dried Yeast.
Grape nuts is one of those American things that I read about in magazines and couldn’t quite picture; more like nuts, dry and crunchy, or more like grapes, super juicy? I still have never even seen them, so it’s interesting to see the ingredient list. Yeast? Weird
They’re about the size and shape of grape seeds; maybe a little bigger and rounder. I assume that’s where the name comes from. So just imagine a bowl full of little crunchy grape seeds that smell and taste like malted barley.
I love them but they’re definitely controversial. Also good heated up in the microwave for a bit. This is an advanced Grape nut move and probably not too well known.
US - cheerios oat crunch
@NineMileTower @SendMePhotos I learned of the fairly hard to find apple cinnamon variety of Cheerios. Total game changer
Canada - a tossup between cinnamon toast crunch and whatever granola I can get my hands on.
Grape Nuts Flakes when I can find it. Hard to find for some reason. :( US.

Post Grape Nuts: USA
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.
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!
US, not sure what it’s called because I very rarely eat cereal. Clusters was good but they quit making it so on the rare occasion that I’m eating cereal, I go for something that reminds me of Clusters.
Um cereal is for kids is it not?
Coffee and croissant/baguette
rolled oats, dry. australia
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.
Reese’s Peanutbutter Puffs. US.
I haven’t eaten cereal since I was like 12 or 13? I started to prefer spicy salty stuff in the morning pretty young. Give me hashbrowns drowning in hot sauce instead.
