Never ate cold cereal growing up, and, neither did our kids.
Frosted Flakes...yummmm...
I could not have survived childhood without Cheerios.
We did. Cocoa Puffs.
Sometimes cheerios, shredded wheat, Lucky Charms. I never cared for Fruit Loops. It tasted weird to me.
Looking back at how we ate, which was pretty typical, it’s no wonder I have issues with food. And I’m surprised I don’t have more health issues.
I remedied that in adulthood. Nothing but farm raised eggs, bacon, whole fat yogurt, berries, and sometimes raw honeycomb.
We sure did. But I haven’t had cereal for decades.
I ate plenty but no longer now. That said Fruit Loops when I first and last tried it was yuck to me. Never ate it.
When I was little, sometimes that’s all we had.
We had cheerios or shredded wheat..now, we don’t eat too much cereal..trying to be lo carb.
Gosh - I lived on breakfasts of cold cereal, Pop Tarts and toast with butter and a cinnamon-sugar mix sprinkles on top.
We has farina or oatmeal
In the old days, when the proprietor ran the ship - in a manner of speaking re how a restaurant was run . . .
There was a Frisch’s Big Boy Restaurant in the Detroit area, that had centrally-located within the restaurant, a large old-fashioned fireplace with a very large, deep, thick ceramic pot, about 28 inches in diameter.
In that pot, every day, early in the day, a member of the organization would build up a lot oatmeal, some butter, some sugar, and water, and a bit of milk . . . and let that cook.
When, in the winter, we would gather there for lunch, I chose the oatemeal. It was wonderful. Radiant heat, warmth, comfort, and only a few minutes from the workplace. We had a lot of fun that winter.
