I don't know aboot ye milktoast sugarslurripin' city-slickin' landlubbin' dandies oot there, but the best breakfast of all, ye know, is good auld steel-cut Scottish OATS, mon! Boil 'em up for aboot 20 minutes like ye would brown rice, then slather 'em doon wi' REAL butter, REAL cream, and perhaps jest a touch of brown sugar, molasses, or (my favorite) maple syrup. Then go WORK IT OFF! Asides that, there's good auld Maine BEANS and bacon, wi' plenty of blackstrap molasses (or maple syrup, "blackstrap" syrup getting hard to come by these days) and biled onions, Irish soda biscuits on the side, and kick-arse coffee. Now THAT's what I call BREAKFAST lads!!! |

15 Sep 00 - 11:03 PM (#298440) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: hesperis I was going to vote for good, old-fashioned Shredded Wheat, but it's actually not the BEST breakfast cereal I've ever had. It's just the best for chowing down in five minutes when you need to be somewhere in a hurry. The BEST is Raisin-Spice Oatmeal, the way I make it. Use rolled oats, not quick oats. A tiny pinch of salt in the water. Add the oats, then add big, juicy black thompson raisins, then add a dash of cloves, a double dash of allspice, and a LOT of cinnamon. You can even add a hint of ginger for that extra zing! to the taste. Then add a handful of sesame seeds. Then turn the heat down and simmer until it's done. Mmmmmmmmmmm. It is SO good, you don't even have to add a sweetener. You can put molasses, brown sugar, or honey on it, and pour on the milk. (Soymilk for me.) I've had people who HATE oatmeal totally fall in love with it, and beg for the recipe. I have recieved 2 offers of marriage from the taste of this oatmeal. It's that good. hesperis |

15 Sep 00 - 11:36 PM (#298457) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: Metchosin hesperis your oatmeal sounds yummy! Might try that on my husband tomorrow morning.
I spent a week with a group of people from Connecticut in the Canadian Rockies this summer. They just went nuts for our Canadian Sunny Boy Cereal and were stocking up on supplies to take back across the border. (In fact we wrote a song about Sunny Boy to the tune of Danny Boy about some of the cereal's side effects). I forced a few mouthfuls down for nostalic purposes, but still couldn't shake the memory of the accompanying Cod Liver Oil that was foisted on me, as a chaser, when I was small. That and the flax seeds you picked from your teeth til lunch, despite brushing. |

16 Sep 00 - 12:14 AM (#298476) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: John Hindsill If it's songs you want about breakfast cereals, hesperis, heare are two from my childhood:
Cream of Wheat is so good to eat and we have it every day. It makes us strong, and we sig this song, and it makes us shout 'hooray'. It's good for growing children and grownups,too, to eat. For all your family's breakfast you can't bet Cream of Wheat".
Then, to the tune of "When it's Round-up Time in Texas", Shredded Ralston for your breakfast starts the day off shiney bright...and etc. [I disremember the words]
Cream of Wheat is still around; so is Shredded Ralston, but not under that name...now it is Wheat Chex.
My favorite-that is the name of this thread, is Weetabix. You add milk to this dense bisquit and it grows three times it size like a sponge.----John |

I don't have any brand preferences although I think museli is probably best home made/ mixed. Outside the cereal, I enjoy a breakfast of sausage, bacon, baked beans, tomatoes and fried bread once in a while. Jon |

16 Sep 00 - 12:49 PM (#298691) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: John Hindsill Jon Freeman--Is fried bread what we might call French Toast here in the colonies, bread dipped in whipped egg and sauteed in lots of butter?

16 Sep 00 - 01:03 PM (#298694) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: Jon Freeman Nothing so exotic, John, it is just a piece of bread fried instead of toasted.

16 Sep 00 - 02:04 PM (#298716) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: Ely Warm: grits with butter and maybe a bit of sharp cheddar, or oatmeal with fresh apples cut into it. Cold: grape-nuts or Quaker Corn Bran. My mother considered Corn Bran to be a "sugary" breakfast cereal. She occasionally bought Honeycomb or Golden Grahams, but we were expected to eat them as after-school snacks or dessert, not breakfast (to this day, I can't eat sweet cereal for breakfast without getting queasy). |

16 Sep 00 - 02:35 PM (#298742) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: GUEST,Giac, not at home I'm with you, Ely, I can't eat sweeet stuff for breakfast. My choices of cereals are oatmeal and grits, cooked with a bit of salt and butter; nothing else. Extra grits can be stored in the refrigerator, then sliced and fried the next morning. Don't think I'd try the same thing with leftover oatmeal, however. ~:o)

16 Sep 00 - 06:11 PM (#298854) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: catspaw49 The kids are into the vitamin fortified, heavily sweetened, styrofoam plastic bits. They come under a lot of names, but you know the ones. They've also reached the age where the toy or the saving of boxtops is as important as whatever the cereal is. Apple Jacks just scored since there are Pokemon figures inside. I can't really blame them. When I was that age I thought Battle Creek, Michigan was the epicenter of all things wonderful. At school however, the cereal type breakfasts, no matter what cereal, didn't rank as high on the "Bluebird Breakfast Chart" as did the "healthy" combos of eggs, bacon, sausage, buttered toast.........I'm surprised now that they didn't give extra health points for a cup of coffee and a smoke on the side.

17 Sep 00 - 05:14 PM (#299422) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: sophocleese Occasional practical joke (as practiced mostly by my brothers) in my house when I was growing up: when someone was having a pleasant relaxing hot bath suddenly slam the bathroom door open and dump a bucket of cold water on the bather. Results? A frustrated and furious victim unwilling to chase perpetrator through cold house wearing nothing but water therefore perpetrator gets away with it until he wants a bath, and one decent book is usually ruined by the bucket of cold water. Mom put her foot down, "No more cold water in other people's baths!" It was discovered that Shreddies, Shredded Wheat and/or dry dog food will also destroy a pleasant bathing experience but doesn't have the same damaging effect on a book. So for revenge purposes I'll go for Shreddies and Shredded Wheat, but for eating I mostly have crispy bacon and toast, sometimes fried bread. |

19 Sep 00 - 06:22 AM (#300520) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: Penny S. I particularly like fried bread cooked last of all, so it soaks up the juices of the tomatoes and the mushrooms and any other tasty stuff in the pan. The problem then is getting it under the egg which has already been cooked. And my current favourite is Grapenuts, with sliced banana warmed milk and a dollop of clotted cream. |

19 Sep 00 - 06:39 AM (#300524) Subject: RE: Best Breakfast Cereal From: Jon Freeman Yes Penny, I'm with you on taking advantage of those juices. I don't have the problem with the egg though. Unfortunately, for reasons I don't understand I can not eat eggs that aren't used as part of a mixture e.g. cakes, pancakes, etc. without being sick. I've always thought this a shame because for most of my life, I had free free range eggs available as my mother kept hens, ducks and geese. Jon |
