I'd rather have a bowl of Cocopops

As ever, things are never quite how they should be.

Wandering the cereal aisle in Sainsbury's last night, I observed this:



I hurried gleefully down, eager to see what X-rated breakfast goods they had on offer. Tarantino Flakes, maybe, which shake into the bowl in a shower of dismembered body parts and foul language. At the very least I was hoping for glossy, full-frontal nudity on the box.



I feel let down by the world. Nothing more exciting than Special K, things with improbably spelled names suggesting improved health, and frighteningly worthy-looking muesli.

Still, at least I am reassured that my otherwise quite boring bran flakes came from a different section and are therefore suitable for juveniles.

I've never eaten porridge made by narenek, but in general I agree. Although since I tend to eat porridge in approximately the ratio 2:1 with golden syrup, I probably don't have a leg to stand on.

Well, it beats porridge made by me simply by the fact of existing, but also it's very good. :)

I like it with lemon curd or brown sugar, but smallclanger apparently takes after my mum and grandfather and likes it with merely a splash of cold milk. He'll probably grow up to like it with salt, the weirdo.

Mmm, porridge. Though I'd go for brown sugar rather than syrup. But generally (on days when I have breakfast at home and don't make toast) I go for sweetened cereals because the others are nasty without milk. FSVO sweetened, of course. Things with plenty of raisins are usually fine, though most muesli is too dry.
