First Sighting Of 'weetbix'

[Priceless]

Yeah, I saw the stuff on an aisle-end display day before yesterday at Carrefour.

It's in the falang food section, between the cheese cold display, and the bakery.

Beats me why anyone would want to eat that cow-food....

How 'bout some toasted baguette with Normandy butter, kippers, and some scrambled eggs....

Eggs Benedict, my friend, Eggs Benedict...

I like the Eggs Benedict at both the Art Cafe and Bake and Bite in Chiang Mai.

Bake and Bite use delish Canadian bacon and Art Cafe adds a side of fried potatoes, so I'm not sure which is better.

Ok. Fine. fine. And in a few years time when all you rich egg dish-eaters are lying beside a machine going beep-beep-beep, us weetbix eaters will be lying beside a pool surrounded by super-models

Yup, you're absolutely correct. I will be in another place, and you will still be here, eating your Weetabix.

But that does not change the simple fact that it is cow-food.....

Good God Almighty in the heavens above....has the state of breakfast sunk so low that a Yank has to remonstrate with Brits about the most important meal of the day?

The Empire was not built with Weetabix....but with blood, sweat and tears....and bacon, and eggs, and proper toast.......lol

Don't forget baked beans for breakfast.

You simply cant beat a nice plate of devilled kidneys with all the trimmings for a top breakfast

If it weren't for Eggs Benedict I would have agreed with you

I don't miss western food all that much, but occasionally I do feel like starting the day with one of my favourite cereals from another place. I always keep an eye on the cereals in the various supermarket we go to here, but it's always wither fairly brutal-looking mueslis or the type of dyed confectionary that I imagine must appeal to north Americans. There is a european product I have tried called 'Weetabix' (I think), but it was a little too much like compressed sawdust for my liking.

Anyway, lo and behold, I was in Rim Ping Supermarket the other day (the one near the Pimuk housing estates). I was looking for Xmas pudding and the like, but while striding down the aisles my eye caught the familiar colours of several boxes of Sanitarium Weetbix. The real deal. Many varieties too.

Oh and they did have puddings too (2 sizes), fruit mince pies (looked good) and various other festive treats.

Merry Xmas!

Yep is a good supermarket. Can even get a four & twenty pie. Must have my vegemite on toast tho for breakfast.

disagree a man can't live without vegemite
