^^I've managed to live for 40 years so far with such a privation, and so I'm sure have most people in the UK....LOL
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

^^haha, well, i suppose that things you're raised with stick with you...

but how can you resist a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pancake, lightly dripping with sweet, sweet maple syrup...

I can't fathom it.

Oh, Fruit Loops! I don't know why parents buy 'em.

They taste as gross as they look.

That sounds...erm...I nno, interesting.

I mean, brown sugar good and all, but why the lemon juice?

It just doesn't sound like a very good combination...it seems like the pancakes would get very dry...

Its because in the UK, we are not allowed to eat foods which are too tasty, because we'll feel guilty about it afterwards... we always have to inject a certain amount of bitter/sour/savoury taste, for it to be deemed 'good for you' and therefore healthy...
 
a pancake coated in maple syrup would take up our whole week's sugar ration in a single sitting...Ouch
 
LOL

Cereal 'bar' in LA
It's basically a restaurant that serves all kinds of cereal.
It's bizarre to say the least.
But tasty, oh, so tasty.

Haha I see...I'll be staying in America for a while then, though I like my share of bitter things as well...

And savory foods =

^^ M&Ms in a cereal????Shocked
 
that's blasphemy of the highest order... and wouldn't catch on in the UK, where we still cling to the out dated ethos that cereals have to be good for you, and to prove it, need to taste like chip board and rabbit droppings....Pinch

This is amazing.

Also, if this reaches 3 or so pages, I'll change the title and first post to better suit the more general topic of breakfast we are now discussing. get some more in on it.

But you don't have to have M&Ms...you can basically order muesli, with all kinds of fresh fruit, and a cup of coffee to boot.
