Cereal Restaurant at Home
Feb. 11th, 2011 01:09 pmI don't know whether you're familiar with the urban-American concept of the Cereal Restaurant, but if you can't go to one/don't wish to pay to do so, the kind-of-awesomeness can, of course, be replicated at home. From email to gf, who expressed bemusement at the concept:
"Have combed and combined the menus of the two biggest American cereal restaurant chains, Cereality and the Cereal Bar. Essentially your options are: cold cereal, hot oatmeal/porridge, or parfait. Here is a full list of their toppings, milks and cereals (sans nuts)--you could let me know what you don't want, or we could go shopping when you get home. I imagine most of the super-sweet options are too American for your palate, from cereal to toppings. There are special combo recipes on both companies' sites (http://www.thecerealbowl.com/) (http://www.cereality.com/main.php) that you might want to try.
Fruits:
Bananas, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, cinnamon apples,
Dried fruits:
Coconut, cranberries, mixed berries, raisins, cherries
Sweets:
Yoghurt, malt balls, chocolate syrup, Apple pie filling, caramel, chocolate chips, cinnamon, cookie crunch, grahm bites, gummy worms, honey, maple syrup, mini m&ms, marshmellow fluff, mini-marshmellows, sprinkles, vanilla wafers, chocolate cookie dough, granola, brown sugar
Milk:
Chocolate, regular
Cereals:
Oatmeal, Fruity pebbles, rice krispies, apple jacks, fruit loops, special k, frosted flakes, frosted miniwheats, reeses puffs, wheaties, trix, cherios, golden grams, captain crunch, lucky charms, cinnamon toast crunch, cookie crisp, grape nuts, cocoa puffs, honey nut cherios, raisin bran"
She pointed out the UK didn't have many of these cereals (imported, there are more, but importing is hideously expensive, and no way in hell will I ever pay 7 pounds for a box of lucky charms) (and she conceded that the candy-quality of some of the toppings and Recipe combinations weirded her out as a Brit, even if we /were/ going to be eating them at night, which mollified her slightly), but I figure we can just go through the cereal aisle and get a smallish selection of the bargain-bag cereals--they're going to be adulterated to the nines anyway, no need to buy brand-names. Also we could do other toppings--we're could add slices of oranges, mangoes and pineapples to a parfait or particularly daring tropical cereal blend.
