    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.

      I visited once and tried cinnamon toast crunch. It’s damn good cereal. Probably a good thing I can’t get it here (Australia, and I technically can, it’s just ridiculously overpriced at import shops) since it’s definitely bad for me.

    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.

    Mueslix. A cereal adopted from other countries that I can now get in the US. Oats, nuts, raisins and dates. Super yummy.

    And when I get the craving — Lucky Charms.

      I had lucky charms for lunch Wednesday because one of my schools was about to throw them away. Can’t remember the last time i had them. Magically delicious!

    I almost never eat cereal anymore, but when I did, it was mostly Mini Wheats (brown sugar to be more specific). Honey Comb is also a fantastic cereal. I’m Canadian.

    I don’t typically eat breakfast, but as for alternatives, I just stick to a basic 3 fried eggs and toast. Sometimes I add in some home fries… Other times I’ll toss in a banana on the side as well.

    I’m from Australia, but now live in England.

    Cereal? I’ve not really eaten it since I was a kid. But I always preferred something plain - without sugar or such. Weet(a)bix, porridge, or - if I had no other choice - Special K.

    I’ve always hated sugary stuff before noon. Don’t ask me why. Meanwhile, my friends would pile tablespoons of sugar on their sugary super-sugar sugar puffs.

    These days, I have a single slice of toast with butter. With a cup of tea (milk, no sugar). Perfection.

    Canada - a tossup between cinnamon toast crunch and whatever granola I can get my hands on.
