Food for thought survey - Liz (9th Nov 2009 - 19:32:30) What is better weetabix or shredded wheat? I am conducting a survey to find hampshires favourite cereal please leave your answer as a thread. It can be any cereal sold in any major supermarket or retail outlet.

Re: Food for thought survey - Karen (9th Nov 2009 - 21:34:43) Sorry Liz ,don`t like either. I have good old plain Special K every morning with skimmed milk of course !!

Re: Food for thought survey - John Wingfield (9th Nov 2009 - 21:56:11) Hi Liz, I am afraid that you will have to submit a FOI request before i answer that question......

Re: Food for thought survey - Eneida (10th Nov 2009 - 00:25:43) I have never eaten either Weetabix or shredded wheat as I am allergic to wheat, so have no idea if I'd like them, but my favourite breakfast cereal is porridge oats.

Re: Food for thought survey - barbara (10th Nov 2009 - 10:58:28) I like dorset cereals muesli or rude health muesli.

Re: Food for thought survey - Dawn Hoskins (10th Nov 2009 - 12:14:15) Bacon toast or scrambled eggs for me! Can't see the point in a bowl of cereal – doesn’t fill you up for more than 20 minutes!

Re: Food for thought survey - Carol (10th Nov 2009 - 12:19:17) Hi - am new to the area and this site. I prefer Shredded Wheat but my real favourites are Cinammon Grahams

Re: Food for thought survey - Karen F (10th Nov 2009 - 12:34:41) I am a bacon and eggs kind of girl. Never touch cereal, full of hidden sugars (the arch enemy of any dieter!!)

Re: Food for thought survey - Eneida (10th Nov 2009 - 14:47:39) No hidden sugars in a bowl of porridge made from scratch, and using skimmed milk, very little fat. It's an ideal breakfast meal, especially in Winter as it warms you up, is certainly filling, lowers cholesterol and reduces high blood pressure....I would certainly recommend it to anybody of an excitable nature ;)

Re: Food for thought survey - barbara (10th Nov 2009 - 15:38:38) I agree enieda, and oats plus nuts seeds and raisins contain only natural sugar, making ones own cereal leaves out any possibilty of including too much salt or too much sugar. Even all bran has too much salt and sugar to make it palatable.

Re: Food for thought survey - karen f (10th Nov 2009 - 15:51:02) Yes agree about lack of hidden sugar in porridge but Yuk, can't stand the stuff!!

Re: Food for thought survey - peter (10th Nov 2009 - 18:31:59) you cant beat a full english

Re: Food for thought survey - Sue W (10th Nov 2009 - 19:03:08) Hi I go along with the porridge - it is also a GI food. Sue

Re: Food for thought survey - Liz (10th Nov 2009 - 21:19:50) Thank you to everyone who has taken part so far. Just a quick message to Dawn Hoskins. The survey is for cereals only, bacon and eggs are not cereals unless you like to eat them with milk in a bowl with a spoon!!!

Re: Food for thought survey - helen m (11th Nov 2009 - 01:11:53) hmmm... malties (sainsburys version of shreddied wheat i think) with sultanas on top... yum!! would love to have porridge but hardly have time to pour the milk on top of my malties let alone make porridge!!! woe is me....

Re: Food for thought survey - Eneida (11th Nov 2009 - 08:58:55) Helen M....no need for 'woe-ness' !! This is how I make porridge...take a china cereal bowl...put in the oats...I use Sainsburys own...add some sultanas or a chopped up ripe banana, if you want sweetness....pour on the milk (make sure the bowl isn't too small)...and put it in the Microwave....mine takes 4 minutes...and there you have it, with no pan to wash up!!! Of course, the timing depends on the size of the bowl and your Microwave, so a test run is a good idea :)

Re: Food for thought survey - Lynn Straffon (11th Nov 2009 - 09:17:07) Although i like both i have Porridge every morning, with different toppings every day. I'm told it is good for keeping your cholestrol down so thats a bonus.

Re: Food for thought survey - Liz (11th Nov 2009 - 22:26:05) I have just realised that I have not yet told everyone my favourite cereal. It is Branflakes with weetabix coming a very close second. The survey is going really well thanks guys and gals.

Re: Food for thought survey - claire (12th Nov 2009 - 11:29:41) Porridge or a smoothie made from skimmed milk , grapes, mandarin, blueberries and a spoon ful of oats

Re: Food for thought survey - liz (12th Nov 2009 - 14:46:01) I prefer bacon and eggs myself...

Re: Food for thought survey - Liz (12th Nov 2009 - 22:45:57) Looking through the results maybe my next survey should be cooked breakfast vs continental breakfast!! I for one am a continental kind of Gal unless I have been on a night out!! then it's cooked all the way!!!

Re: Food for thought survey - Finchie (12th Nov 2009 - 22:58:35) Pret-a-manger chocolate filled croissant washed down with a starbucks "purple" youghurt and orange & mango smoothie. Always my Friday treat. Roll on tomorrow !! Cheers, Finchie

Re: Food for thought survey - Liz (13th Nov 2009 - 21:27:28) That sounds amazing finchie I might make that my treat for tomorrow instead of the fry up!!

Re: Food for thought survey - helen m (13th Nov 2009 - 23:01:22) Eneida - oooh sounds scrummy! cant wait to try it tomorrow!!! think it might be a weeknd thing tho as getting 2 ready for school / nursery + feeding baby + using microwave (in mine it would take oooh 8 minutes not 4 - sainsburys own microwave utterly useless)... oh hang on i can help the worlds smallest violin playing for me...!! ta muchly - looking forward to a warm brekkie tomoz. x
