Right, now that I have granted myself the freedom to blog about whatever the hell I feel like, I hope you have prepared yourself for something completley frickin’ wild and anarchic, because I can assure you I have totally let myself off the leash with this one. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I’ve covered everything you ever wanted to know from a 31 yr-old debut author of a coming of age comedy.
That’s right. I am blogging about my favourite cereals to eat straight from the bag with no milk. Hell yeah!
We have a 3 yr-old in the house, so our cereal cupboard is crammed with sugary crap, and since I have spent the past two weeks going through a dry-cereal-eating binge, I am now a fully qualified reviewer of dry cereals.
So, if you ever find yourself stuck in our house, with no other food, or milk, or bowl, and if you also happen to share my exact taste in food, you may wish to consult…
THE BEST CEREALS IN MY CUPBOARD TO EAT STRAIGHT FROM THE PACKET, WITHOUT MILK: THE LIST. WITH A VENGENCE! PART ONE
- Cornflakes – These are okay, but are a bit blah after a few handfulls, plus they’re a bit sharp for my precious little mouth 6/10
- Rice Crispies – These are also not great for eating in large volumes. Not exciting enough. I was uninspired to return for milti-scoops. 5/10
- Golden Nuggets – These were very good. Good texture, good shape, not sharp, not too dry. My only complaint is that they are REALLY sweet. Good if you’re slobbing out in front of a movie, but for day-to-day gobbling I need something a little more savoury. 8/10
- Malt Wheats/Shreddies – No, no, no! Unless you suffer from excess saliva, these are WAY too dry to eat without added wetness. 2/10
- Cheerios – These are good. These are VERY good. They tick all the boxes. All the good bits of Golden Nuggets, but none of the bad. I thought they would be too sweet, but they’re actually not. Brilliant texture, easy to pile into the mouth in huge volumes, VERY more-ish, plus you can even increase the fun by separating the 4 different types of ‘O’. 10/10
- Coco Pops – Not as good as I was expecting. Too crunchy, flavour doesn’t work very well without milk, very sweet. 6/10
- Frosties – Much like the Cocoa Pops, I thought these would be a real contender, but again, these were a bit too crunchy, too sharp to shovel into your gob, and the flavour is nowhere near as good as when you milk them up. 7/10
We have a clear winner. Cheerios win hands down, closely followed by Golden Nuggets (for pudding). I’m going to get some right now.
The End.
Having trouble finding any related posts... stay tuned.
As I follow the Atkins diet, and after much research on sugar and carbohydrates and the effects of eating them daily can have, all I can say to this is…I MISS YOU, FROSTIES! Please forgive me for not eating you in 9 months…but my potential elderly diabetes and heart problems were nagging me to give you up. Not to mention my excess weight starting to cause aches in my joints…well, okay, not that much excess weight was on me, but it was getting there. I know, I know, that wasn’t solely your fault, but the relationship we were having was bad and not part of the solution. Remember that I will love you always. Emma
P.S. Tell the Cheerios I think of them fondly.
Emma, don’t worry about all that caphooey about diabetes and stuff, because I have good news for you… Friaries are now sugar free and 100% protein! So eat away!
P.S. I am not a Dr or a dietician, and I rarely tell the truth (except for that bit about not being a Dr or a dietician).
I CANNOT STAND CHEERIOS!!!!!
I prefer a cluster straight from the bag as its like eating a flapjack.
There aren’t enough blogs about cereal…do you like Grape Nuts…I struggle so hard to find anyone that does but I ADORE THEM!! They are like the cereal version of sprinkling toasted pine nuts on a salad….WHY WOULDNT YOU?!
What are Grape Nuts??? I’ve never even heard if them! I can’t have any nuts or seeds in my cereals, thanks to my stupid new allergy! Not sure how I’ll get through Christmas without dry roasted peanuts, and marzipan, and purple quality streets…
They arent nut….they arent even grapes…I have no clue what they are….
Coco pops…these are not even real food! Throw them out immediately!!
Non-real food is the best! If it’s nit real it can’t make you fat!
Being the fussy eater that I am, out of your list, I can only eat Rice Krispies. But I rarely do. Because they’re pretty boring. But when I do, there is always milk. Always always. Though to be honest, I don’t normally bother with breakfast. It means getting up even earlier to make and then eat, and I like sleep too much. I know, unhealthy.
Hmm, sleep Vs food… I think you’re going to have to get a butler and make him bring you breakfast in bed. And feed it to you while you sleep.
Now THAT is a plan! I just need to win the lottery now, and all my breakfast/sleep problems will be solved!
1) golden nuggets
2) cheerios
3) special K sustain ( seriously amazing keep you going all day)
4) frosties
All others need milk ha
