You'd never seen bacon, ham, sausage, steak, etc., for breakfast before?

 

Correct:

 

a. I have not seen western style bacon in MANY years, here in Asia.

b.  I have not seen western style sausage, also.

c. I have seen good steak in Japan, however.

 

Speaking of ham, Chinese style....this is what it really looks like....

 

This is my favorite breakfast meal, in fact.

 

Just looking at this image....

It makes me drool like Biden, in fact!

Good point, for sure.

 

I guess all here are disgusted by American Breakfast fare.

Get out a bit more, then, it's you, not any shortage of the products you haven't seen.

And none of the responders realise that!  They really do think that you're interested in other members' opinions of cereals. 

The "cereal topic starter" story is just a cover up.  He IS cereal-curious.

Here in Asia, chocolate is not a common food.

 

Here in Asia, or East Asia, chocolate is considered a bit too exotic for most people's tastes.

 

What the hell are you saying? what utter <deleted>. Grocery stores and 7-11s have entire aisles dedicated to chocolate.  There are 5 or 6 types of chocolate milk at my local 7 alone.

So now I can join the ranks of cereal topic starters.

And make it obvious retirement has become a bore. I prefer oatmeal to cardboard-like flakes.

 

In retirement, we should have some spare time to cook real food. I understand people eating cereal such as cornflakes when working hard and not having time to prepare breakfast.

I have not been in a SEVEN for a very long time.

 

Also, most of what is in SEVEN are ultra-processed foods, which I do not eat, and cannot digest.

 

You can eat it if you want to, but not I.

 

In the past, in Texas, where SEVEN originated, there was REAL food on sale.

 

That was a long time ago, before your day, I guess.

Millions of grown men eat cereal, because it can be good for you, IF you read the ingredients before you buy. And where do I sign? I eat cereal all times of the day.

 

 

Millions of grown men eat cereal because American advertising has bombarded them since the Kelloggs invented the over-processed abomination in the late 1800s.

Cereal, above all other things American, is an example of how you can deceive an entire nation with advertising lies. The whole cereal industry is as bad as tobacco, worse in that it targets children specifically with its ads and over-sugared, nearly toxic products.

The introduction of things like cereal and other American processed foods into the Thai diet is one of the reasons so many Thais these days are obese. 

None of Earth's living cultures embrace a diet of highly processed complex carbohydrates for breakfast or any other meal.  

People are willing to delude themselves that it is good for them because it is convenient.

If you have no recent experience with reality, and are so disconnected from the commonplace,why are making so many bull<deleted> pronouncements?

I guess in many cases the answer will be it depends on what our mother gave us many years ago.

 

I didn't eat much of that. But if I feel like it I always buy Kelloggs cornflakes. These are, deep down in my mind, the real cornflakes.

 

 

I felt the same way as I always had Kelloggs since I was a kid.

But I tried Nestle and now I prefer them.

I'm including everyone, it was a very obvious bad pun. People were simply more interested in discussing cereal than acknowledging it.

I boycott anything from Nestle's. No large corporations are pure as snow regarding their ecological impact on the globe, but Nestle's is in a horrendous category all to themselves.

I think that is true about Nestle, I don't drink their water.

A Nestle exec has been quoted as saying people don't have a right to drinking water.

But I don't avoid other Nestle products.

No doubt I will suffer damnation.

so it would seem.

I prefer never to eat cornflakes or any other adulterated food produced by the food industry giants. To hell with all of them.

Well some of us are interested in cereal. I am. 

I don't eat cornflakes , prefer Weetabix , and Shredded wheat ,Post brand from USA,

 

Nestlé's Shredded Wheat from UK ,is inferior ,and i like Porridge which is the best

value of the lot, 

 

I remember when Kellogs opened up a plant here to manufacture cereals ,i thought

good the price will come down now ,it's not imported , plenty cheap corn here, prices

stayed the same ......
