[TitanDiddly]

Question- when eating said cereal, did you use milk from a bag?

I return home every couple of years, and when I do I gorge on foods unavailable to me in Canada (like good chocolate and crisps). However, I recently discovered that Coco Pops (Cocoa Krispies) sell in the States. When my GF mentioned she was going to spend five days with her family in Cape Cod I made sure she hunt down a box.

THIS IS WHAT SHE BROUGHT BACK!

OK, not too exciting from your POV, but I was stoked.

I've had four bowls already today, but I have to admit they're not as good as the stuff you get in the UK. Still, I get my chocolate fix!

LOL.

Newsflash: Kellogs makes that cereal right here in London Ontario.

OMG.. same thing for me.
I'm 32 now.. and moved to the USA when i was 16. I grew up on Kellog's Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. The corn flakes were covered in honey and bits of tiny nuts were stuck on them.. Oh how i miss that cereal. Maybe it's available here in the USA now.. i never looked.

I later got hooked on honey nut Oh's.
Then, i stopped eating breakfast for a while.. lol

Whenever i go to England to visit, i bring back on suitcase full of chocolate bars (bounty, turkish delight and topic) and cakes like Mr Kipling's and also Chocolate Digestives, Chocolate Hob-Nobs..

HoneyNut Cornflakes are ok.

But I still like Wheatabix.

Apple Jacks are pretty good too.

unfortunately my cereal days are basically over since I developed lactose intolerance.

 

[Feldenak]

Heh, Merry Olde England. Home of that delicous little breakfast food....oatcakes.

 

[Eavan]

most anything except wheaty cereals are much too sugary for me in the morning. may as well be eating Glucose-O's. My energy spikes at about 10 AM and I'm craving another fix by 2 pm.

 

[Tremulant]

I'd like to see Chocolate Corn Pops. Oh my.

My Scots brother-in-law has a jar of Marmite sent over every now and then, (and the odd bottle of whiskey, which goes without saying)

WTF is marmite?

Sounds like a small furry animal to me.

Unless it is like marmalade.

Ah, Marmite... excellent stuff. It's yeast extract, thick and black, and great on toast.

I think I'll stick to my strawberry jelly and nutella.

The most common use is as a spread on toast or in sandwiches. Note: it is generally spread very thinly because of its strong flavor?don't use it like jam. It has drug-like qualities; the more you eat, the thicker you need to spread it to get the same mouth-burning effect. Some people have even called it addictive.

Aussies use Vegemite. Similar, but not the same. I've eaten Marmite at least once a day since I was old enough. We only get little jars here in Canada, and people use it as a gravy additive.
