Butter and marmite? DH has just walked in mid-breakfast prep and is HORRIFIED! I've never eaten it any other way...

My son loves warm weetabix with bread and butter. Dips his bread in it, or spreads it on like a sandwich. He’s 22 now, and has had it this way for years. I used to have to leave the room when he had it, as it made me feel sick watching him.

I knew someone many years ago who ate theirs with butter, salt and vinegar Confused

Agree that milk on cereal is just gross. Soggy cereal 🤮

harriethoyle · 01/08/2021 10:31

"Eating Weetabix with..." sounds like a pitch for a low-budget show on ITV5.

"Eating Weetabix with... Rylan Clark-Neal" wouldn't look at all out of place in the schedules.

@RandomMess

I used to have them with butter and sugar sprinkled on top so I don't think it's wierd but I hate milk on all cereals.

harriethoyle · 01/08/2021 10:34

@FatOaf Grin you pitch it, I'll host it!!

My mum used to pack this (though the Aussie equivelant, Weet-bix with butter and vegemite) in our lunch boxes when we were out of bread. I don’t remember hating it, certainly haven’t felt the need to revisit though...

AbsolutelyPatsy · 01/08/2021 10:37

weetabix with butter and syrup

Foodielady · 01/08/2021 10:39

Butter and honey here!

Thewinterofdiscontent · 01/08/2021 10:40

My dad used to eat Weetabix with butter and jam. It’s a definite thing. For old people.

AbsolutelyPatsy · 01/08/2021 10:40

oh i see i am not the only one Grin

AbsolutelyPatsy · 01/08/2021 10:40

@MyFloorIsLava

What the actual ever loving fuck is wrong with you???? Shock
Haha this. I've just had weetabix in the only proper way 😉. Drenched in milk with a sprinkling of sugar.

You're lucky your bags haven't been packed...

I started eating weetabix like this as a kid because I hate soggy cereal! I'm certainly not old now 😂
Aprilx · 01/08/2021 10:43

Absolutely bizarre. I cannot stand weetabix, but surely it is eaten in a bowl with milk.

AlCalavicci · 01/08/2021 10:45

Ooh it's years since I buttered weetabix , I like it with proper butter and blackcurrant jam.

I got into the habit of buying the mini ones and buttering and jamming about 10 and keeping in the fridge and snacking on them throughout the day .

MikeWozniaksGloriousTache · 01/08/2021 10:46

Not unreasonable. But then I often trough the contents of the Hoover bag for a snack too, or handfuls of sand if I’m in a hurry. Envy (not envy)

AbsolutelyPatsy · 01/08/2021 10:46

ooh good idea @AlCalavicci

harriethoyle · 01/08/2021 10:46

even the mini weetabix go to soggy with milk

WestendVBroadway · 01/08/2021 10:48

30 odd years ago when we were teenagers a friend of mine used to eat Weetabix spread with jam as a snack. (Yes you Helen M.)
