As far as I’m concerned, the only way to eat grits is with salt, pepper, and cheese, preferably sharp cheddar. Yum.
Sawdust?! My, such strange things you’ve eaten. :D:p
It makes everything better and it’s how I would have eaten Cream of Wheat as a kid. Grits for me is either butter and white sugar, or butter, S&P and cheese, as mentioned.
I can’t think what it’s called right offhand, but there’s an organic granola sold at my local supermarket. I normally like granola, but this stuff tastes like cardboard, and like cardboard it breaks down into a soggy mush the second milk hits it. It is so nasty I threw the whole bag out after trying one bite.
Same here, whatever that cereal is with the cartoon frog on the front. It tasted like burnt honey, and I’ve never tried it again.
My favorites are Raisin Bran, Frosted Mini-Wheats, and Captain Crunch/Crunchberries.
My Mom used to work with a Jewish friend who told her about things like bagels and motzas. My Mom already knew about motzas; she said they tasted like cardboard. The friend said, “You can get them in onion flavor now.” “Oh, great,” Mom said, “onion - flavored cardboard.”
You have to add the Weetabix to a cup full of blood, to give it texture.
Then you have polenta.
Just remembered another cereal that I thought was pretty nasty as a kid and never was tempted to try again…
I have eaten a cereal that is worse than Grape Nuts. I was trying to eat better, so I got a box of some excruciatingly healthy Kashi cereal (sorry, I don’t remember the name–all I can do is recommend that you all stay away from any Kashi cereal, just to be safe). It was like horse food. So of course I shared it with my coworkers, so I wouldn’t have to suffer alone. One of my coworkers actually liked it, so he took it and possibly ate it all. :eek:
It was like horse food? You put on a feed bag and ate hay mash?
Off topic, but back in the days when the Internet was poised to usher in a brave new world, custom cerealwas actually a thing. I logged on and created a kick ass cereal of dates, almonds, cranberries, granola and lord only knows what else. And I was prepared to spend $8 or so per box. But it was not to be, General Mills insisted that I add some crappy ingredient to make it nutritionally balanced and shit. So I never bought my box of custom breakfast. The Internet gradually degraded into the cesspool it is today, and I blame General Mills for killing it’s bright shiny future.
Oh, and Urkel-Os.
Kashi. All of their products taste like sawdust to me.
Kellogg’s Sugar Smacks, later rechristened Kellogg’s Honey Smacks. (“Dig 'em!”). They were bad, but not as bad as plain puffed rice.
How do you know?
I’d like to add that sprinkling ‘Wheat Germ’ on any cereal will give it a far better flavor and will be more healthy.
I’m a woodworker.
It’s a good thing you don’t clean cesspools instead.
Gives “tastes like shit” a whole new meaning.
Well, there you are.
