Love it? Loathe it? Indifferent?

Eat it everyday? Breakfast? Night time snack?

Are you a brand snob?

Do you mix different cereals together?

Do you add fruit?

Anyone ever actually eaten those cookie ones? Or lucky charms? Is it just like eating a bowl of sweets?

So many questions, so let's hear about your cereal habits

I like coco pops and crunchy nut cornflakes.

I don’t eat them unless we are at a hotel, otherwise I can eat an entire box in one go.

So many questions, OP, but it's a very important issue!

I love it. But more as a snack than a breakfast, unless it's muesli or granola, which is breakfast as well.

I'm a bit of a Crunchy Nut Cornflake fiend, so try not to buy it all the time as I know I might as well just shovel sugar into my mouth...

I don't mix cereals, but I'm relaxed if you do. I'm good like that. However, I won't forgive you if, like my ex-Mother-in-law, you store them mixed. So when you went to serve you had no choice but to have the weird concoction of shreddies, Coco pops and Golden Grahams that were all in one jar! Sacrilege.

And this might now be the longest post I have ever written, but at least it's on one of the big issues of our time.

Oats or shredded wheat.

All I would say is be careful which one you chose. A lot of peope think it’s automatically a healthy option but some of them are loaded with terribleness.

First of all can I just say, your ex-Mother-in-law sounds like a monster

Cereals are a bit rubbish I think, the only one I would consider having for breakfast on the regular is porridge.

Bran flakes/all bran with banana is OK on occasion, but most just go soggy and don't fill you up, nobody needs that kind of disappointment first thing in the morning!

For all her good points, there are just some things you can't forgive, right?

But you've just hit the nail on the head as to why cereal is not a breakfast food: very disappointing in the morning, but a great mid-afternoon boost!

It's porridge I have in the morning but I love cereal as a sweet snack.

Crunchy nut cornflakes, Lucky Charms/Mateys, Coco Pops and Chocos are my top ones.

I miss Riceicles and when variety packs actually had variety. None of this 2 packs of Rice Crispies nonsense.

I usually don't have cereal during the summer months, but for the remainder of the year I make my own concoction with:

Oats

Oat bran

Wheat bran

Sultanas

Raisins

Sunflower seeds

Pumpkin seeds

Linseed-two types

All soaked overnight in milk, then microwaved if being eaten at home, or put into a Thermos flask.

As an occasional treat I might have Weetabix or the Lidl equivalent, but I eschew commercially made products by Kellogg's or Nestle because they are loaded with sugar, colours and lots of salt, etc.

They are all prohibitively expensive, too!

My neurodivergent brain has me eating porridge for the last 15 years. In different versions but always porridge.

It's also got to be branded or the luxury range oats. I tried Asda smart price oats: never again. I somehow like the Asda Smart Price unsweetened soy milk.

current porridge incarnation:

Quaker rolled Oats

Asda Smart Price unsweetend soy milk.

Fage 0% yogurt

Berries ( summer or winter)

Stevia

Unsweetened nut butter

For kicks, I tried oats the QE2 RIP Scottish way...not bad still not a favourite though..maybe add a decade and I will be having it for dinner.

I can see why she's an ex mother in law. That's just weird. I don't mix cereals. I never would. I find it utterly odd. I only mentioned it because 2 of my children do and I wondered if anyone else ever did or if they were just freaks

I only ate cereal for breakfast when I was a child.

My husband is a cereal freak. He has boxes and boxes, different kinds, and mixes them. He’s always had his ritual of mixing different kinds of muesli, granola, shredded wheat in just the right proportions amd them tops with milk.

20 years in this country (and with him) and I still find it weird as hell.

I will sometimes have a couple of spoons of granola with my yogurt though!

Don't really eat breakfast, if it's a weekend I might have porridge.

So I usually eat cereal in the evening. Crunchy nut cornflakes, corn flakes, musili (no nuts), Weetabix, Coco pops.

I am a bit of a brand snob with cereal but can usually get them on a deal.
