Cereal,

Sir Niall of Essex-sire · Mon 26th Jul 2010 08:19 am

Fuck me, i've been known to like a munch from time to time and have recently discovered the beauty of Cereal at a time like this ( please keep in mind a i can't cook so all the ' Thai style beef with etc.' isn't so helpful for me.) I've come to this conculsion mainly because of two things;

1) The Curious Cinnamon cereal, this is the shiz-nit and well worth an investment!

2) In case this hasn't been brought up before, i come from Irish stock; this means that i have a love of mash potato, tea, eating, potato cakes and dance music. But more importantly, i have friends in America who are Irish ( well their Grandads Grandad was ) so when i was there i made many friends. And one of those Nationality confused fuckers sent me a pack of this..

And bollocks to a barn dance, this stuff is unreal. It's seriously sweet and fucking awesome munch.

The miss's goes away tomorrow, i have to fend for myself, i shall be going to ASDA tonight to stock up on cereal...

Suggestions please?

I can't eat cereals, I just can't ever eat anything in the mornings, even a piece of toast is too much work for me and always last all day until tea time until I eat proper.

Talking of cinnamon based snacks. When you're next in A'dam, go to Geels & Co tea shop (opposite Baba coffeeshop) and get these awesome Dutch sweets called Kaneel Stokjes. I always buy 4 or 5 bags to take home. Great with a tea or coffee and they look like this.......

I cant eat before midday and even as a munchie I rarely eat cereal, I used to live off Ready Brek when I was a kid though - loved the stuff.

They are pieces of soft but crunchy candy/sweets.
There is a dusting of powdered cinnamon on them and you either crunch on them or let the whole thing slowly melt in your mouth. You only need 1 or 2 with a coffee or tea as they are very sweet. Other places sell them but I get mine from Geels & Co just before retuning home and only eat 2 or 3 pieces a day myself with a tea (no sugar), instead of biscuits.

theres a shop in my leeds that sells these, can get lucky charms, fruity pebbles, and some Reese's ones.

i like the nutrageous bar and also reeses pieces, can pick them up at morrisons/ASDA and they are directly imported.

back on topic: cereals are good for you, (the majority of commercial) breakfast cereals however are bad! on the other hand tasty and convenient.......

porridge though! say no more

dunno how ye american guys put up with sugared milk though!??!

i go through stages, il like corn flakes for a couple of months, then i went to cheerios then to them curiously cinnamon (lovely but very sweet), then went to rice krispies then to shreddies & now im back on the rice krispies & ocassionaly some porridge (with milk & sugar of course

)
funny thing is when i go off a cereal i really go of it, like now i wont eat cheerios if u paid me,but come next month il probably be bang into em again

&cantona, i used to love lucky charms as a kid, but now u gotta get em imported from the states & its proper expensive, selfridges sell em for an extortionate price, 1good thing that comes out of not eating US cereals is not bombarding ourselves with GM maize

+as im talking about US food, any1 have Cattlemans BBQ sauce? easily THE BEST BBQ SAUCE ON THE PLANET, sainsburys used to sell it but not anymore

the honey bbq was my fav, f**k it i might just import a batch

i hear that dude. i like those cereals but like you and boner i dont really eat breakfast. always sounds really bad in the morning im never really in the mood for a meal unless maybe im on vacation and i need the food to counteract the jetlag. so before school when i need the energy i sometimes drink carnation instant breakfasts.
