I like to leave my cereal soaking up the milk For a few minutes until it’s gone lovely and soft and mushy.

I don’t know anybody else that likes it like this. Am I the only person in the world who likes soggy cereal? Also, what food habits / likes do you have that everyone else finds weird?

No there are at least 2 of us.

I cringe at people going on about crunchy cereals being imperative.

YABU for liking soggy sloppy cereal. My DP is just like you, he likes it soggy and warm🤢

Marinerscove · 19/05/2020 16:53

I do this too!! I thought I was the only one.

I like a balance, soaked up some milk and flavoured the milk with whatever it is, but not completely soggy.

Cornflakes or rice crispies with hot milk, nice and soggy 😋

Twotinydictators · 19/05/2020 17:08

God no, soggy cereal is the worst! Crunchy all the way...

Thegate · 19/05/2020 17:12

I love it like this. I especially love when you get all the crumbs at the bottom of the packet all soggy

AgeLikeWine · 19/05/2020 17:14

YANBU.

I like my weetabix soaked Until soft and ice cold.

22Giraffes · 19/05/2020 17:14

YABU I'm afraid, it's got to be crunchy! My fav is Crunchy Nut with a tiny bit of milk. And the milk has to be cold!

SerenDippitty · 19/05/2020 17:16

I like my Weetabix crunchy.

noenergy · 19/05/2020 17:17

@Thegate I love the bottom bits too and so do my kids.

NoWordForFluffy · 19/05/2020 17:18

You mean like baby food? No thanks, crunchy all the way. Mushy makes me feel sick just thinking about the texture in my mouth!

UngainlyGiraffe · 19/05/2020 17:20

Growing we used to have white bread ripped up, soaked in milk, covered in sugar and then microwaved! Food of Gods!

Thebookswereherfriends · 19/05/2020 17:20

I love all cereal soggy. It tastes so much better and doesn’t get all stuck in your teeth. I love the dusty bits at the bottom of the bag soaked in milk.

bellalou1234 · 19/05/2020 17:22

Soggy cornflakes are the best. Specially from the bottom of the box.

OrangeGinLemonFanta · 19/05/2020 17:22

That's so wrong.

I like peanut butter on toast, with sliced strawberries on top of the peanut butter Smile

Vamoosh · 19/05/2020 17:22

I love warm and soggy cereal!

UngainlyGiraffe · 19/05/2020 17:24

I wouldn’t eat soggy cereal anymore though! DS loves soggy shreddies.

CarolefeckinBaskin · 19/05/2020 17:32

Urgh YABVU :)
I can not eat soggy cereal.
Mine has to be crunchy - I briefly allow a small amount of milk to meet my cereal before making a tiny pool at the bottom of the bowl.
Dh drowns it, same amount of milk as cereal in the bowl bleurgh.

I eat peanut butter spread on celery.
I absolutely can not eat sweet before savoury. Ever.

Fluffybutter · 19/05/2020 17:38

Cornflakes yes , weetabix hell no

Chachang · 19/05/2020 17:39

YABVVVVVVU.

Terralee · 19/05/2020 17:42

Eww soggy cereal is gross....

Sometimes at work I have to feed patients their breakfasts & sometimes they will choose cornflakes which inevitably go soggy.
I hate the look & smell of soggy cornflakes so when I'm feeding them I keep a smile on my face will fighting the nausea!

LightenUpSummer · 19/05/2020 17:42

Is there anything in the world sadder than a soggy cornflake?

I can't think of anything.

userabcname · 19/05/2020 17:45

I like soggy cereal! I also used to have a real thing about cold toast - you know when you order the breakfast in a cafe and when it arrives everything's hot except the toast? So you're then scraping room temperature butter onto cold toast and it's just not the warm, melty, delicious experience it could be? That really used to wind me up. My toast standards have lowered now, though, as with a baby and a toddler I usually end up with cold toast before I get to eat it!

LightenUpSummer · 19/05/2020 17:59

Yes but then you get delicious lumps of butter on the toast, gorgeous
