Well, someone where I once worked put Postum in the Mr. Coffee machine by mistake, and half the people there didn’t even notice the difference. So much for Folgers.
I concur.
I don’t understand how people actually like to use perfectly good milk to make their previously delicious crunchy cereal into a soggy mess, and to top it off not even consume the entirety of the milk.
I have never thought of it as anything other than milk, but I’m calling it “cereal sauce” from now on. For all applications.
“Hey, can you pass the cereal sauce?”
“I just spewed cereal sauce through my nose when I read that!”
FTW
Used milk.
:D:D:D
My son calls it cereal milk. We used water as kids sometimes, what a disaster. My brother makes sugary coffee with milk, then pours it over frosted mini wheats.
Milk
I call it Dave.
It’s milk, FFS. Ideally, there won’t be any left in the bowl, but if there is, and you drink it, it’s still not a beverage, it’s just salvageable waste. Scrap milk, if you will.
That’s funny, I call it sludge too. Or at least the bit of it left that’s thick and sludgy with sugar and/or cereal shrapnel.
Unless I’m in polite company (when I wouldn’t be eating cereal anyway) I always pick up my bowl and drink the milk once all the cereal is gone. Anyone else do that?
If it must be called something beyond simply “milk,” I vote for condiment. I usually leave the left over milk for the cat when I’m done.
It’s basic chemistry. Milk is the solvent, cereal is the solute.
Additive.
Spum.
None of the above. It’s still ‘milk’.
:dubious:
Malt Smoothie.
You could of course include a muesli or oatmeal based smoothie, marinated in whole milk for twenty four hours then blended with yogurt, milk, ice, and berries. You could of course make this smoothie with your favorite cereal… maybe Ghostberry Crunch…Maybe some malt powder.
No? I hear many people refer to various kinds of chicken, fish, beef or vegetable stock as a “soup base.” It may not be the preferred term, but I would consider it a synonym in most cases.
I have never called it, or heard anybody call it, anything but milk. Maybe, just maybe, one could argue that it is technically functioning as a sauce in these circumstances, but nobody “calls” it that.
It is not a beverage, because it is not primarily there to be drunk (just as gravy or other sauces are not there to be drunk, just because they are liquids), and by no stretch of the imagination can milk, in itself, be a broth.
