No, it's not a roadie-style "what's the one with the highest carb and protein content that enables you improve your PB by 0.01 seconds...", rather a simple taste test.

Starter for ten: I really like that "Oats and More", in fact, am eating some now, dry (ie no milk). Yummy.
It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Porridge, after a shedload of raisins, sugar, honey and other sugary stuff has gone in.
    Also, needs to be more the consistency of soggy flapjack rather than wallpaper paste

    Whereas I prefer porridge that you can not only stand the spoon up in, but you bring the bowl with you, if you forget :lol:

    Washed down with Sunny D, then a mid-morning snack of cola bottles?

    The best cereal ever conceived by Man is

    A bowl of Ricicles drenched in ice cold milk....

    The bastard child of Frosties (also great) and Rice Krispies!

    Has to be the simple Weetabix for me.

    4 covered in whole milk so every bit of them is wet but then eaten before they lose all shape. Acompanied by a spoon of white sugar. Beautiful.

    Omnomnomnomnom.

    This. But only two for me, and sometimes with a bit of porridge sprinkled on top to add a bit of bulk.

    A good wintry one is a bowl of cornflakes with milk on, microwave for 50 seconds then a bit of sugar on top. Awesome, and no need to waste energy chewing it, just pour it down the neck and get on with your day.

    My breakfast usually consists of a bowl, about 6 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep, filled with a loan weetabix and covered with a big handful of crunchy nut cornflakes, topped with a dash of sun-dried rasins and thinly sliced stone-dried apricots watered down with a generous helping of semi-skimmed (or full-fat if the daughter's milk supply is in good shape).

    Starts my day off a treat :D

    Serve with milk and whatever fruit is to hand. Could go with Weetabix as a runner-up, but they come in those stupid tubes which get flakes all over the kitchen bench (grumble, grumble).

    Oats shortly followed by weetabix in any sort of combo (can't go wrong really) cold on it's own or with milk and a banana, with hot milk or a summer crunch - crush 'em up with strawberries or raspberries and yogurt.

    However Rice Crispies with ice cold milk and a little sugar and consuming them before they go soggy or cornflakes with warm milk and a sprinkle of sugar provide that 'feel good factor/memory lane of childhood'.

    Porridge with nuts and dried fruit is probably my favourite. With mashed banana is good too (discovered via trying to get the littl'un to eat it), but for everyday, it's 3 Weetabix and a handful of sultanas. As said, plenty of milk, but gobbled up before it goes to weetasludge.

    Jordans Nut and Seed Museli is very nice. In fact it's the only cereal I eat.

    This isn't trolling, or being a Grammar Nazi (ok it is), but we buy our Weetabix on a permanent basis in our house. It just works better for us. YMMV.

    Sorry. It just made me larf seeing that sentence. :)

    I am a big cereal lover, and I have gone through many phases of loving different ones.

    The one that has always stuck by me, through thick and thin, as an excellent reliable option, was shreddies.

    YES - thats just how I like it.

    If its made as per the instructions its flippin horrible. Just like wallpaper paste.

    All gloopy and lacking substance.

    The only thing to ease the spoon should be the enormous dollop of syrup that goes in when cooked.

    Come come. Shreddies is just air-biscuits, devoid of pretty much everything except air & Scargill's left-over hair.

    Me too, always like to have one or two varieties in the cupboard but Shreddies have been my Old Faithful since I was 15 years old (so over 20 years now.....AAARGH!)
