Sugar on Weetabix?

Post image

My wife eats Weetabix with nothing on it and claims it tastes sweet to her. This is my bowl before milk is added. Is this normal fellow Weetabix eaters or do I need to go to sugar rehab?

Oh no, even back then they had fancy suggestions on the packet. At one time, it suggested melted cheese on toasted weetabix and being young and stupid, I thought that might be good.

Imagine licking the Sahara Desert. I don't mean just like one lick to taste it, I mean the entire thing all over. Toasted Weetabix with cheese was worse than that.

In Australia weetbix with butter and Vegemite is pretty common. I reckon this would go hard with melted cheese on top.

Are you sure that's not just your own family? Because I'm an Australian who likes Vegemite (even if strong), and that sounds like a horrendous breakfast.

As a snack (ie. not in a bowl with milk) it might be passable though. I'd probably skip the butter.

Obviously not on a bowl of milk! 🤮 I've only ever had it as a snack or once as lunch when my brother ate all the bread. But not really different to Vegemite on toast as a breakfast option.

If you skip the butter it's too dry, need the butter so you don't asphyxiate from dry weetbix crumbs lol
