      True, but there’s always delicious, hot whole-grain cereal. A little milk and sweetener (or subs), with maybe some raisins or dried fruit while cooking, and Bob’s your uncle.

      Steel-cut oats are my fave. Lots of fibre, good nutrients, it’s nice & calming, and only takes about 10min to cook.

    I am in the US. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my absolute favorite followed by Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch. I haven’t has either in years and I’m not even sure they still make PB Crunch.

          Grape nuts should interest any brewer. I think they taste just like malted barley. Check out the ingredients:

          • Whole Grain Wheat Flour
          • Malted Barley Flour
          • Salt
          • Dried Yeast.

            Grape nuts is one of those American things that I read about in magazines and couldn’t quite picture; more like nuts, dry and crunchy, or more like grapes, super juicy? I still have never even seen them, so it’s interesting to see the ingredient list. Yeast? Weird

              They’re about the size and shape of grape seeds; maybe a little bigger and rounder. I assume that’s where the name comes from. So just imagine a bowl full of little crunchy grape seeds that smell and taste like malted barley.

              I love them but they’re definitely controversial. Also good heated up in the microwave for a bit. This is an advanced Grape nut move and probably not too well known.

    Porridge. And yes, I do live in Scotland. I have just put some oats in a pot to soak overnight. I will be eating it with milk, and with honey made by bees I knew personally. Yum.

      Why not cook it on a stove, like someone who doesn’t live in the stone age? You can add apples, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and some banana. It will taste pretty good.

      Many people forget that you can add salt for better taste. If you’re not watching your weight, add some peanut butter while it’s cooling in your bowl. Or add some chocolate chips. Yes, I eat a lot of oatmeal. Rolled oats or steel cut.

        I did cook it on the stove. Soaking the oats overnight beforehand makes it more unctuous imo. And of course I added a bit of salt, that goes without saying.
