Cereal and milk

As a kid, nothing better than that sugar slush at the bottom of the bowl. Afraid that's not on the diet anymore.
Not a big cereal guy but now and then I like a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats or Frosted Flakes.
Gotta be whole milk

most mornings I have a mix of raisin bran & some cinnamon cereal... toast crunch or life.. with 2 percent... weekends are quick oats or eggs... oats use combo of milk & water with raisins, craisins, dried blueberries, brown sugar and a little vanilla extract or almond extract...
As a lad this is what I was often confronted with at the breakfast table.
And yes, they taste about the way they look.

Had to be Tolkien's inspiration for lembas bread.
I found I was having stomach issues when drinking milk, even with lactose free milk so I quit eating cereal in the mornings. May try again after I retire in a couple years and see if it was stress related.
I grew up Australian Weetbix which may or may not be related to Rusty1957's Weetabix. Usually made with boiled water, milk, and a teaspoon of sugar on top. My kids eat it now.
Due to my weight issues and 2017 Bariatric Surgery, I now eat a concoction of diced Apple, Muesli, and Greek Yoghurt for breakfast. More protein in it and keeps me fuller for longer.

I'm thinking more along the line of Earth Shoes.
Same-Same.
My parents had us cereal every morning, with milk, of course, and a glass of milk after supper. Now, I can't eat on an empty stomach! Coffee and morning OTC vitamins and either script or OTC pain meds. But I do like me some cereal at night sometimes with Hershey's chocolate and minimal milk. That Hershey's chocolate is the nectar of the gods! (Except in Yuengling Beer. Whoever came up with that *&^&& (horrible combination) should have his man card taken away. In fact, it may have been a wife of some beer drinker that didn't know when to say when. Yes, I think I could live on milk and chocolate Rice Crispy cereal. Cocoa Krispys I think they're called.

At 75 I have a small bowl of cereal with 2% milk almost every day.
I try to eat the healthier brands, but of course they are all laced with sugar.

Tomorrow morning I'm headed to the club for a grueling morning shooting trap. Then I'll spend the afternoon on the rifle range with a buddy.
I'll need a hearty breakfast. You all have given me some ideas.
It's gonna be bacon, eggs and home fries!

Sounds like something I used to do.
I resemble that remark!
I developed a special breakfast sandwich during one of my bouts of unemployment. It's a poached egg on melted cheese on top of sliced turkey. I heat up the turkey and cheese on a Sandwich Thin or English muffin in the microwave. I spice up the turkey before heating. After poaching the egg in the microwave I put it on top of the cheese and turkey and cut a cross in the egg to let out any trapped gas. The final touch is adding Tony Chachere Original Creole Seasoning to the egg. Makes a nice start to the day.

Frosted mini wheats! Years ago I grabbed the box out of a lower cabinet and grabbed a handful. They were damp and frostless. I looked at my 2 yr old daughter,she mimed licking the sugar off and laughed lol
I am a cereal eater. I like Raisin Bran Crunch, Frosted Mini Wheats, or Cinnamon Oat Cheerios with 2% milk. I remember eating a bunch of cereal while in college. A roommate loved Capt'n Crunch. He ate a "Jethro" bowl every day. One day, he was out of milk and ate it DRY! His gums bled for the next few days!

I start each morning at 0400 with a bowl of Grapenuts and 2% milk.

Normally, when I have breakfast at home it is a protein drink but sometimes I opt for a hot cereal like oatmeal or cream of wheat. I hated both of those when I was a kid. Go figure.

One thing I don't do is milk on cereal. Like eating it dry, wanting the full flavor and crunch, so for me milk dilutes that pleasure. Same with dipping cookies in milk, not for me, will have milk in a glass on the side.
Frosted Flakes overload: Took my daughter to the Little League World Series in 2006. They had bins full of mini-boxes of Frosted Flakes free for the taking, that was Great!

Guess I'm the only one who eats grape-nuts
Been retired almost 20 years now, I'll be 74 in a few weeks. Every morning I have the exact same thing. Two eggs over easy, two slices of Jimmy Dean Sausage and one slice of Keto bread toasted with Smucker's sugar free jam.
On very special mornings I do get some hash browns, maybe once every month.

Grapenuts are great. Especially with some blueberries or sliced bananas
Haven't had Grapenuts for a while. Might have to change that. I let 'em soak in milk for 10 minutes or so. I'd like to keep my teeth!
Nope! Put me on the list too. Along with tlawler, now there's three of us!
It must be an acquired taste . . . .
I like the crunch of Grapenuts, but don't eat them by themselves. I prefer to put them over the top of any other cereal.
