    Reminds me of when Kelloggs did an ad in the UK asking people share how they eat Corn Flakes on social media.

    The top answer was put the Corn Flakes in a bowl and pour cold milk on top of it, big surprise.

    Why the extra sugar? Is the cereal not sugary enough? Even the “healthy” cereals tend to have too much sugar, plus the milk has a bunch of sugar.

        Mixing it with iced coffee sounds like it might be alright… Only some kind of sociopath would ever pour milk first and then cereal though

          Regarding hot or cold milk, it’s up to individual preferences. Regarding the order, there is only milk first (unless you like eating a soggy mess of cereal).

            Yes, it’s supposed to start crunchy and get soggier as you get to the bottom. That is how you get the delicious cereal flavored milk to drink at the end. CEREAL FIRST ALWAYS!!!

              August 21st, 2024. Historians will record this date as the start of the great Milk and Cereals civil war.

                  AND MY AXE SPOON!

                  Seriously though. Cereal first, cold milk on top. I’ll allow the solitary exception of adding cereal to your remaining milk when you only want a little more, or you used the last of the milk.

        Coffee and additional, out of pocket sugar. Just go to Dunkin, for the love of God

          Honest to god, last week I saw someone take out some instant coffee and a small jar of milk from their backpack in order to get their fix without having to spend the few bucks buying it from a cafe or whatever

    Imma fight y’all.

    No milk. Use fil (sour milk), yoghurt or something similar. Put cereal on top, no mixing. The cereal touching the “liquid” get soggy while the rest stays crisp giving the best texture heterogeneity. Berries are awesome, frozen a super convenient alternative. If using frozen mix these with dairy before adding cereal.

    Your fermented dairy of choice brings a nice crispy and fresh acidity to the meal. And if it (still) have an active bacterial culture it is super good for your gut.

    Muesli is best cereal.

    Honey only approved sweetener.

      Honey only? But there’s so many good ones!

      Jam, agave, or maple syrup should be good with muesli & yoghurt to my taste. Light molasses may work in moderation, and I’ve heard good things about sorghum syrup.

        By the wiki article it sounds very similar. Milk plus micro culture equals deciciousness.

          Are you from Sweden btw? Filmjölk/Fil I learned today has no English term. I am from the Netherlands and my mom used to get us Viili all the time, that is where my memories connected with you mentioning Fil. We also had Kefir but Viili was my fav, better than yoghurt. It’s hard to get here nowadays.

              Thanks for mentioning, I looked Kama up and it is certainly a breakfast unknown here but the recipes I looked up read delicious. Sorta fine grained roasted muesli. Fiber and protein on steroids. Also I learned versions of this is eaten Sweden, Finland, Russia and even Turkey. Also seems much healthier than any ‘western’ factory cereal as the recipes I have seen only require salt.

              I like to eat it.

            Swede yes. Fil is our national variant of soured milk. Runnier than yoghurt but still creamy, about same fat content as milk.

      That is my preferred breakfast. I prepare it the night before in a glass to allow the bottom layer tons of time to soften like you say but then I mix it all just before eating. I tend to use kefir since if I want fil I’ve gotta make it myself but as you say anything similar gets the job done.

    I’ve got this beat. I love eating cheez-its with milk, like it’s cereal. Absolute best way.

    1. Heat the coffee
    2. Add a splash of coffee
    3. No sugar, just coffee
    4. No cereal, doughnuts
    5. Repeat until you’re full
    6. Drink the leftover

    If you don’t do it this way, it’s ok to be wrong

    I actually like it when my cereals get soggy. Most “crunchy” things are just annoyingly hard. Anything harder than a potato chip just sucks.
