Shredded Wheat

[sfer]

I haven't eaten breakfast cereal is something like 12 years, basically since I started college. Megantw just reminded me of Shredded Wheat. OMG, that stuff is just insanely good when it spends just the briefest time in milk and softens just a bit. Agree?

[Voltron87]

agree. its a regular in my breakfast rotation which i look to when i dont eat bagels.

[BWebb]

Frosted or not?

I can't look past the fact that it has zero sugar. This must be made up for by a lot of strawberries or bananas, which I never would have time for.

And all of your milk disappears.

Not bad, though.

[InchoateHand]

You are correct, but the key is timing.

Sometime you have it, and sometimes you get distracted and have weird mush.

Ideally, one of my fem-slaves would delicately lower each spoonful into the milk for the ideal time.

I like it more as a snack, straight from the box to my mouth. I don't like when it's in the bowl with milk, something just doesn't look right and last couple of ones always get soggy.

When eating cereal, I use teeny bowls and re-pour once or twice. I also only use a little milk in the initial bowl and add a little with each re-pour so the milk is always cool. The sog factor is always perfect.

Sounds like too much work. I'm lazy.

Have you ever tried chilling your cereal bowl? When I wake up I put a bowl in the freezer, I'll shower and shave and whatever and when I'm done I've got a nice chilled bowl to keep the milk cold.

!! I've never thought about doing this. I'm going to have to try it. I've been eating breakfast at work, though, so I'll have to wait until the weekend.

I still like the wee bowls to keep the mush level just right.

that's weird you should mention that because THIS MORNING i had a bowl of shredded wheat for the first time in a long time and i thought it was great. of course no sugar or anything.

I agree with the cold, cold bowl. And, to help with the chillin' and sweetenin', and keepin' the flakes crispy (I don't like shredded wheat. Wheat Chex is OK) I add vanilla ice cream. I've tried chocolate on Rice Krispies and that was good, but plain old vanilla is the best!

i like frosted mini wheats. i loved the short time they had fruit (stawrb) filled ones. too bad they are gone

It's good with apple juice instead of milk.
