Just wondering how different countries enjoy their cereal (or other breakfast favorites)
nesquick? (i think it was spelled like that)
edit: im Estonia
Canada, but I don’t really like or eat any cereal. I can’t get past more than few nibbles because of how sweet it all is.
I’ll eat cereal when we get it for the kids but prefer granola, over Greek yogurt. Otherwise I go for overnight oats.
Canada- my standard breakfast is oatmeal with homo milk and 2 spoonfuls of maple syrup or brown sugar, depending on the season. I try to get the maple syrup from the Amish/Menno dudes out in the country.
Breakfast cereal is a scam invented by a psychotic incel, but oatmeal is cheap and a good source of fibre.
I live in Canada but was born in Mexico. My favourite cereal growing up was (and still is) chocokrispis which is basically just chocolate rice krispies but made with mexican chocolate. Also fucking love count chocula but that is a rare find nowadays, though I did find a chocolate lucky charms not too long ago which was delightful.
I’m one of those weirdos that you hear about but never see: Grape Nuts.
There is a brand of crackers called Finncrisp which to me taste like savory grape nuts. Delicous!
The caraway ones are the best.
Soooo good with lox!
Grape Nuts are so good
Grape nuts and yogurt is my jam.
US - cheerios with a sliced banana, and cinnamon toast crunch
Adding a datapoint for US and Cheerios.
Unless by cereal, OP means type of grass grain. Then my answer is Oats.
Barley crew checking in, wheat and rye are 2 and 3. They make the best beers.
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.
Grape SEEDS? That never occurred to me. Huh.
Beef barley is also one of my favorite soups.
@NineMileTower @SendMePhotos I learned of the fairly hard to find apple cinnamon variety of Cheerios. Total game changer
US - cheerios oat crunch
US, Honey Bunches of Oats, eaten dry like a bag of chips.
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!
Kellog’s Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, Scotland. Not remotely a good breakfast, but a fucking amazing Cereal

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.
Razor blade flakes
Golden Grahams, United States
France - Trésor by Kellogg’s
Just basic oats, overnight oats or porridge with various fruits and nuts
