Shredded Wheat Cereal

Yep. As long as it's not the sweetened kind. Can be a filler for ground
meats. Processed (to whatever degree of fineness), can be added to crumb
coatings. Strange one - crumble and add to melted chocolate as one would
use rice crispies.

Add to bread, tapioca or rice pudding as an extender (soak in the milk
or cream first and ad a bit extra to compensate). Crumble, moisten and
add to whole wheat breads. Crumble and add to muesli (moisten with
yogurt the evening before and keep in the fridge overnight).

Cook in a double boiler like oatmeal or cream of wheat. Dash of vanilla,
bit of sugar. Cook until very soft.

Big glass of Scotch completes all the above. Doesn't make it taste any
better, just helps you to forgive the butthead who invented it.

You don't like Shredded Wheat? You're kidding? What is there not to like about
it? I love the stuff. It is the only cold cereal that I buy. I had it every
morning for breakfast for close to 10 years and never tired of it. I just add some
whole milk and dark brown sugar or honey, and it is great with bananas or berries.

Not on Shredded Wheat :-)
Actually, I don't mind beets, especially fresh from the garden. We never have
them in the house because they are one of the few things that my wife cannot
bear to eat.

Try this before giving up on it as a cereal, assuming you have the
full-size shredded wheat biscuits:
2 shredded wheat biscuits
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

lay the biscuits on a cookie sheet or in a pie pan; using a spoon
or fork, mash the center of the biscuit to create a trough.
Spread a tablespoon of brown sugar in the trough of each biscuit
and top with a tablespoon of butter. Place about 3-4 inches below
broiler and heat until lightly toasted and butter is melted.
Place in bowl of milk and eat.

If you don't like that; crush the biscuits and use in meatloaf or
meatballs as filler. Also can be used for breading on pan fried
chicken or fish.

In My Youth (last Monday HA!)...I would slice them in half...butter the
halves, sprinkle them with sugar and re-assemble. Then eat them like a
sandwich. Perhaps you can use the sandwich idea portion of this idea
with say a flavoured cream cheese or a strawberry puree/dip or
somesuch.

Reminds me of when I got a hamster. (I've just bought another for my 3 1/2 year
old and it's cost me £40 for the cage and stuff and £6 for the hamster!)
Anyway you can get some little bags of hamster treat museli, and my husband
found it in a cupboard, he'd eaten half a bag before I caught him and told him
to read the bag! He was really enjoying it until I pointed out it was hamster
food!
The meatloaf fill sounds a great idea, I think my other half would like it!

I just wondered if there was a connection. :-)

You like beets and shredded wheat and I like beets and shredded wheat.
Barb likes neither.

Shove one in your panties and use as a sanitary napkin. Bon apetit!

x-no-archive: yes

Have youy tried making hot cereal out of it by heating it with milk
(and brown sugar, butter, whatever) in the microwave?

It is utterly without taste. Might as well eat soggy cardboard. I can
eat it--and have been for a couple days, but it's boring as hell. I
slice a banana into it and douse it with some fatfree half and half and
some skim milk. These are mini-wheats, by the by.

I agree it is totally tasteless. When i have eaten it I have sliced up
some strawberries and blackberries and mixed them through to try and
give it a taste.

I don't like cereal. Never have, not even as a child. Can't stand the
sight of it, nor the taste of it floating around in a bowlful of milk. A
few years back, trying to get healthier, I decided I'd give shredded
wheat a try, but without the milk. What I do is take the 'biscuits' and
dip them in yogurt, eating it like a finger food, like chips 'n dip. It
works for me.

Are they the large biscuits (about the size of a large bar of hand
soap), or the spoon size? If large biscuits:

Toasted Shredded Wheat

2 large biscuits
4 pats of salted butter
honey
milk

Place two pats butter per biscuit on top of each biscuit. Place under
broiler and toast till butter is melted and biscuits are lightly
browned. Place biscuits in bowl, drizzle with honey, and add milk.

If they are those sugar coated spoon-sized abominations, just toss
'em! ...or maybe smash them up and use them for cat litter.

nb

I tried making it hot, adding sugar some butter and when I took it out
of the microwave I added some honey to it. It was still disgusting!!

The large ones are horrible.
The mini ones are delicious. You just have to race the milk, to see
whether you can eat a few before the milk turns them into a thick
paste. I eat them dry, without anything and they are nice and
crispy-crunchy. What more does one want? Taste? Eat something
tasty, not shredded wheat, if that is what you want.

Spoon size. Unsweetened. Post. Plain. Tasteless. Which is a good
thing -- I won't eat too many at one time. Addition of a sliced banana
helps considerably.
