We're not having hot mush today...

Sorry to make my first official post about London negative, but it has to be done...

I decided to be adventurous and try a "British" cereal, since they didn't have my usual American choices...  And went for "Oatibix", the oat version of the more prevalent "Wheatibix".  I thought, it's high in fiber, which is a good thing for breakfast, and how bad could it be?

It's basically little biscuits of oat shreds.  Fine - biscuits can be tasty - but these unfortunately immediately disolve into a cold oat shred paste when eaten with milk (as shown on the front of the box).  And there's absolutely no flavoring!  I tried to tough it out but only got about 5 spoonfuls before picking my bananas out and putting the rest on the kitchen table of my flat with a sign that says "Free!"

It's what I imagine the orphans ate in Annie - but the cold version.

I don't think Wheatibix is too bad, but I guess the oat version lacks the small amount of the crispiness the former has.
