My grandmother brought me a package of Weetabix back from her recent trip to Ireland. From the package, it looks like I should put it in milk like cereal, but she described it as an "on-the-go" breakfast and cereal isn't really "on-the-go." Am I missing something or is that actually the way you eat it? Are there other, better ways I should try it?

The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.

Put in bowl.Pour on milk.Eat.If that's too chewy,you can add things like chopped up bananas or grapes if you wish.
Personally,I love them spread with butter and then topped with sugar,but apparently that's weird...

Eh. Whatever tastes good to you.
No weirder than eating hot dogs with mustard and not ketchup on them...

What's wrong with ketchup on hot dogs? I also add a little pickle relish. I let Mrs. IA have the mustard contaminated hot dogs.Quoth EricKei View PostEh. Whatever tastes good to you.

AFAIK that's the German way to eat them. And also how I learned the hard way that German restaurants tend to not be kid-friendly. The one time I went, that was the only thing on the menu that I even recognized, and I was incredibly disappointed when I found out they didn't have ketchup for my hot dog sandwich.Quoth EricKei View PostNo weirder than eating hot dogs with mustard and not ketchup on them...
Now, what's weird is ketchup in mac and cheese. But it's SO good.The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.

Put in bowl, pour on milk until Weetabix is totally soaked. I also like to add soft brown sugar on the top, but you can add bananas if you're after something more healthy.Comment

I'm Canadian and I vaguely remembered Weetabix from my childhood. Add milk and sugar, eat. I remember it was practically inedible without sugar. However I was a kid.
Why Weetabix though? That seems like an incredibly random thing to bring home.Comment

IA -- I refuse to eat them without ketchup (unless they're chili-cheese dogs, mmmmmmm). That, and I can't stand the taste of mustard. Folks way up North in ChiKAHgo or New YOWK seem to disagree with that sentiment, and are legendarily of the opposite mindset."For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

Never heard of them, but being that it has been likened to cereal, I'd certainly be interested. I googled them and this is what I found about how to eat them:

Try a little bit of oyster flavor sauce instead!Quoth Aragarthiel View Post“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John RogersComment

I love that scene. I am from the Chicago area. You don't put ketchup on a hotdog!Quoth CyberLurch View PostComment

My in-laws were appalled to find out that I put ketchup on my hotdog, sugar on my cereal, and mash my meatloaf down thin and add ketchup on top of the patty formed. They are from Albany NY.
Hotdogs (and tube steak in general) are an easy formula: roll, dog, ketchup, kraut. My wife asks all the time whether it is kraut then ketchup, or ketchup then kraut.Comment
