You mentioned Uncle Sam cereal many times. I said I'd try it
but never did.

Is it sot crunchy (Cheerios), Medium crunchy (Corn Flakes) or
hard crunchy (Grape Nuts)?

Joe's O's (TJ's brand of Cheerios) is my long running
favorite. I ran out so I thought I'd ask.

Best,

Andy

We went to a local Mexican carneceria for breakfast, they have 6 tables
and they do a nice amount of take-out. We had menudo, chicharonne grande
and tacos.

Uncle Sam is more like Corn Flakes than the other two mentioned;
however, the flakes as smaller and, being made of whole, toasted wheat
berries, a bit crunchier than corn flakes. It also has flaxseeds which
add a bit of crunch.

One of the few things I go to TJ's for is Uncle Sam cereal; it is about
a dollar a box cheaper there than at local supermarkets. I don't much
care for TJs and don't buy much there. Here (STL) they are in affluent
neighborhoods and cater to the idle, moneyed class; the SUV-driving,
non-stop cell phone talker, tennis mom who is too busy to cook. TJs
seems to have few ingredients for cooking; all the space is taken up
with wine, injected/pre-marinated meat, and highly-processed pop it in
the oven/microwave/boiling water stuff. I visit TJs about once a month
and stock up on Blistered Peanuts, Uncle Sam cereal and Laughing Cow
cheese (also significantly less expensive than at supermarkets).

Funny how some stores can sell some products for so much less than
others. The only cereal I buy is Shredded Wheat. It get it at a local
discount grocery store where it sells for $1.50 less than all the other
stores. Their packages of ground espresso are also at least $1 cheaper
than other stores. I hate shopping there but I go every 2-3 weeks and
stock up on Shredded Wheat and espresso.

OK. I'll spring for a box.

I never liked grape nuts because they took forever to soak up
milk so I ended up crushing them up with my teeth, requiring
a lengthy flossing. Cheerios just require brushing and
gargle. My alterior motive for asking. ;-)

Thanks,

Andy

Grape Nuts make a good cooked cereal... or let them soak in milk over
night in the fridge.

Sheldon,

Perhaps!

I had zero breakfast request rights in my youth. Good idea
though!

I really don't know why you bother with Egg Beaters when you're going to
pile all that other crap on top of it. Is the goal to reduce
cholesterol? If so, it's probably not working.

Jill,

Egg Beaters have nothing to do with cholesterol OR calories.
They only take one minute to microwave. To me, they taste
just as good as real eggs and no clean up.

Unnaturally over-processed. DUH!

If I wanted to get fat again, I learned how, right here at
rfc.

Don't be mad.

You may not like Uncle Sam because of the flaxseeds; they are small and
hide well. Heck, even after brusing and flossing, I've suddenly had a
flaxseed show up hours later. 8-)

l not -l,

Thanks for the flaxseed FYI. I believe I will have to pass.

Hey Jill, Andy is being honest, and you can't deal with it. It's
"slop," OK? It's not supposed to be good.

That's because you're a drunk slob. Egg beaters bear no resemblance to eggs.

I love them soaked like that.

I also love my morning taters with peppers and onions with eggs o'er the
tops.

Hey! I take issue with that. I am a drunk slob and I use Eggland's
Best!

I've never had such issue with Grape Nuts eaten straight away with no soaking, but I hear a lot of complaining about them.

They're crunchy and they're good, and they're actually good for your teeth.
