Small bowls reguired more sophisticated stacking techniques...

Critical was application of sugar after the milk as otherwise the milk would wash it all off into the bottom of the bowl.
Finally.... someone who eats the bix the same as me. Maybe now the villagers will revoke my banished status.

I'd rather be too soggy than too dry though... :shock: :oops:
it's a fine balance to dry is just as bad as to soggy thats why I use a 2 step milk process,

5mm of milk
sook
refill to 5mm deep
milk must be poured over the weetabix evenly so you dont get dry ends

Current faves :

- Dorset Cereal (with large raisins and cherries) - no dust ! Go try it
- "Swiss Style" Muesli - yum
- Frugrains - must wait for the milk to soak them - great in the summer
- Sains Organic Porridge (winter) - fabby on a cold day

All currently using 'blue milk', as my kids call it

My wife spreads butter on dry weetabix and this habit has 'spread' to the kids - aaarrggghhh

One more vote (who would have thought there were three of us) although your delicate application of milk can be avoided by bolting your food.

2 weetabix in bowl, a liberal splash of milk to 3/4 of the way up the biscuits (which are laid flat) followed by a liberal spoonful of sugar on each biscuit. The weetabixes will remain at the right consistency if eaten quickly. Keep adding Weetabix and sugar (that should be enough milk to do 3 with only a quick splash to wet the top required) until full, 4 is a good number, so is 6 if hungry, more is not unknown.

(Weetabixasaurus)

The above may be complimented with a full English (OK Scottish) if hungover (keep Weetabix numbers in line with equation below). But as that takes so long to prepare I have the Weetabix first. Serious hangovers (Grade 4 and above) should be treated with tea and Marlboro Lights (Marlboro in emergencies) except I don't smoke anymore so just tea. Coffee is for Southerners and Americans and I will have no truck with it.

The following only partially explores the complex relationship between early morning cereal consumption and mid morning or early afternoon fried food consumption.

Let x=number of Weetabix to be consumed
Let y=number of hours until cooked breakfast is expected.
Let z=number of hours until cooked breakfast arrives
Let p=number of people expecting to be fed
Let n=number of people involved in preparing breakfast
Let t=time to collect ingredients

Actually this is way too complicated to be represented by just one equation - I'll have to work on the graph that demonstrates the complex relationship between n, y and z (these would need to be represented graphically as there is an optimum value for n depending on k (kitchen size) and z! Indeed a long t, a small n and a large p can actually result in a reduction in z (for a constant y obviously!!!).
A reduction in y can have a counter intuitive impact on z as more haste does not always provide more speed.
Generally an increase in k will reduce z as it permits a more efficent use of a large n but too large a k can be impractical, especially for a small p. So we also need a graph to explore the relationship between p and k, incorporating an important subset of k, kP which describes the proximity of the various appliances and work surfaces in k.

Look it's about 1 for every half an hour I have to wait. Unles I am in someone else's house in which case I limit it to 2 becasue they can get a bit funny when they discover I have eaten all their Weetabix and most of their sugar in a 3 minute feeding frenzy. To say nothing of a pint of milk. Has anyone actually read down this far?

I was just trying to remain true to the thread topic!

"I like insert cereal brand name" is hardly Breakfast Cereal Analysis is it?
I have* equations and graphs. I also wrote it in the middle of the night on a break in work when I might not have had quite enough sleep**..

Pete

*When I say "have" read "pretend to have".
**Around that time in the morning when sleep deprivation causes me to start inventing stuff that I've forgotten by morning.
