What's the greatest cereal of all time?
Oatmeal, with a few chopped prunes, and a splash of unsweetened, plain soy milk. I eat a bowl almost every single morning.
One cup of oatmeal contains about 150 calories, 4 grams of fiber (about half soluble and half insoluble), and 6 grams of protein. In addition to fiber, oatmeal is rich in thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, selenium, and iron.
Porridge is THE cereal for me. None of your instant stuff that looks like glue, or stuffed with fruit or honey etc... Just Porridge Oats, water, a pinch of salt and served with milk. My favourite is Scott's Old Fashioned Porage (sic) Oats.......
I had porridge for the first time in the UK. I have oatmeal here at home on occasion, instant stuff that's not that good, but I thought I'd try it out of interest. I don't know what you guys do to make it, but I really liked it! I failed to ask the B&B people how they made it.
Can the UK people tell me what the secret is, and if I can get whatever oatmeal you guys purchase here in the states. I assume I have to cook it awhile.
I don't eat cereal these days but when I was a kid it was Cap'n Crunch. My dentist would make a fortune if I tried eating it now.
