EDIT: This came about organically from a question which I asked below:

This thread is meaningless, I know, but I MUST know...


Is mixing Maple and Brown Sugar Life Cereal with Cinnamon Life Cereal a good idea, a bad idea, or what?

I must know....


And then it evolved into a discussion/ridicule of the breakfast habits of people, mostly a discussion of their differences cross-continent.

Indulge, and go east some cereal for god's sake!

It's not a good, or bad idea.
It's the only ideaClap

bad, bad idea..  it'll be great for a few minutes, but soon you'll start to turn blue and wish you'd just had toast

I do like Wheaties with maple syrup very much though, and I'd recommend it  Approve

Well I finished the bowl, and I didn't turn blue.

It was good, but I do think that just one of the other would've been better perhaps. Not sure. It wasn't bad. Just, a little too much. Over the top.

Also, I will try the Wheaties and maple syrup idea one day, however I have to ask, is that dry??

Or with milk? If so, how does the syrup react with the milk....?

Interesting...You'd think the syrup would turn ghastly in the milk...

I'll have to investigate this immediately.

yes, true, but I think we tend to asociate it with pancakes, and as far as I can recall, I don't think I've ever had any...Ermm

Shreddies..?  ..wonder if that's like our Shredded Wheat, a classic!
 
no, they are a little different, but I think we're talking the same ball park...Wink

Interesting...never had maple syrup?

So what do you typically eat for breakfast? over here, pancakes are like a standard...and waffles and of course my personal favorite, cereal...

EDIT: Also, I could make this the breakfast thread,,,,just have to change the title...good idea, bad idea...or the only idea??

a bowl of cereal (usually weetabix, shreddies or corn flakes), 2 rounds of toast with marmalade and a mug of coffee...every morning (almost) without fail...Wink
 
pancakes are something we tend to have on pancake day...in mid February.  Although most of us these days don't stick to this 'celebration' as much these days, I wouldn't say I eat a pancake more than once a year...Embarrassed
 
as far as maple syrup is concerned, I think I first heard of it in the late '80s/ early '90s when a food chain called 'Little Chef' opened up, and started doing breakfast pancakes with maple syrup..can't say I ever took to the concept, personally...Confused

Coffee and toast are wonderful...and cereal.

But...a life without pancakes...

It's just no life at all...

Exactly my point.

My favorite cereal is Honey Nut Cheerios or Honey Bunches of oats.
Not that I don't like the classics like corn flakes.

This is what I was eating, except we have varieties over here.

Cinnamon / Maple and Brown Sugar / Chocolate / vanilla Crunch / some others

It's good stuff.
