A short chat ensued on the chatroom this morning regarding cereal, as I needed my cereal fix, and ended up with some organic honey-o’s or something.
What are your favorite cereals?
One of my all-time favorites is Grape-Nuts with raisins, and since they don’t pre-package it that way anymore, just add the raisins.
I’m also a huge fan of Total Raisin Bran and Raisin Bran Crunch.
Add Super Golden Crisp (makes your urine stink, though), Peanut Butter Crunch, and Cocoa Pebbles (not Krispies, they are fail), and you’ve got the perfect snack foods.
I like the classics-- Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, Corn Chex, Special K, and Product 19. Even “good” cereals are fairly nutritionally bankrupt, so I avoid my true favorite, Frosted Flakes, like the plague.
One of the most amusing wine board posts I’ve ever seen on this subject was from Noel. Señor Ermitano, who has one of the most refined palates I know, expressed a fondness for Count Chocula.
Nowadays it’s Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, Special K (plain), and some of the Post Selects cereals (e.g., the one with pecans). I just don’t like sweet cereals (arrgghhh). On weekday mornings I tend to alternate between cereal, and toast or Thomas’s English Muffins with butter (nothing else). Strong coffee with half and half, no sugar (arrggghhh).
Three eggs over easy, a side of serious bacon, hash browns plus a grapefruit sectioned, put in a bowl and dusted with grape nuts then covered with honey.
