American Breakfast Cereal

LSainsbury · 28-10-2005, 17:45

Hello,

Right - I've searched but I can't find the answer!

Back at the start of the year I was over in America working. During this time I found a breakfast cereal which I quite liked, but I can't find it in the UK.

I can't remember what it was called in the US.

The only thing I can remember about them was that they looked like little parcels, they where not covered in anythingand I can't remember what they where made of either, so I' really clutching at straws! Anybody help me out?

Cheers

Lee

When searching, I found those! I don't think it was them - unless they have another name in America?

No, that's the American name.

Can you remember anything else about them?

Could it be this?

Did they have any particular taste?

The only thing I remember - they where "parcel" shaped - not covered in anything - were sweet, but not very sweet - possibly wheat or corn and "melted" in the mouth...

Will have to give Golden Grahams a go just to make sure it's not them....

You could have a look at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_cereal or

http://inventors.about.com/library/i...s/blcereal.htm or

http://www.american-trading.com/food/cereal.asp

and see if anything rings a bell.

Or maybe you could sign-up with an American supermarket that does online shopping, and then spend a while browsing their available breakfast cereals to see if that reminds you what it's called... or you could always just fly out there for a couple of hours

Frankly with the description you've given you'll be lucky if anyone recognises them.

wegmans.com would be a good place to look. There is not a nationwide chain of supermarkets in the same way there is not a pan-european chain of supermarkets.
Does Safeway still exist over there?
