Inspired by a MyLot member, I found an old friend!

Yesterday, on somebody else's post, I got into a brief discussion with a certain German MyLot member (she doesn't like me to mention her name...shh!) about cereal. She mentioned Muesli and I lamented the fact that I loved Muesli as a child (I can't remember if I discovered it in Italy or Switzerland as a child, or here in the US as an older child), and as a young adult, but have not been able to find it here in years. Yesterday, while on a wine and coffee mission at Trader Joe's, I decided to check the cereal section more closely. Voila! "Made with whole grain oats (horses love oats), seeds, fruits, and nuts." While standing in the check out line, I remembered that I used to put brown sugar on my Muesli, and that I don't have any right now. But I also remembered that I have maple syrup in the fridge. I had it for breakfast this morning, and it was as delicious as I remember. Given the ingredients, it HAS to be healthy. Have you heard of Muesli? Apologies to my European friend for the lack of an umlaut over the "u." What is your favorite breakfast (or snack) cereal?

Glad you enjoyed the cereal. I like maple and brown sugar oatmeal and many other items as well.

I was eating maple and brown sugar cream of wheat when I had the stomach flu.

@CarolDM Heh. I miss my Gerber's Cereal. That was another childhood favorite. Especially when my tummy hurt a bit.

@TheHorse Cannot do the cream of wheat. Something about the texture.

I'm not sure, I think the Kroger store has Muesli but, I never bought it myself. Back in the 70s, I use to buy granola, in a few different brands. Country Morning was my favorite, with raisins. Enjoy your cereal!

Granola was always a bit to sweet for me.

@TheHorse Yes, you are corrects. It's actually no healthier than Capt'n Crunch or Cocoa Puffs!

You say muesli, I say granola... or something like that.

They're different, though. I always found Granola too sweet.

I know exactly what you are talking about and Muesli being European mostly was the best you could purchase of cereal in Latvia. It was the healthiest and all of the imported and well-known cereals just cost an arm and a leg so it made no sense to buy them.

I'm not sure how much I paid. I tossed the receipt. But it was a whole pound (16 oz), so it should last me for awhile.

We can choose from a myriad of muesli types here. Many are high in sugar though. My brother-in-law concocts his own.

I bet many European do. And upside down Europeans. I'm glad I was able to find it.

Good move! I should send them in an email to myself so I can copy and paste them whenever I want.

I too like this. I have tried different varieties, though we have not been having it very regularly in the past few months. I enjoy it with added fruits- mainly bananas. And I am wondering that this discussion did not helped you earn $BBB.GG + $Delta2 to help in your 2710 Porsche Buy!!

Oh yes, I like it. I do not eat lots of it for breakfast but as a snack from time to time.

I still like it. I've been having with milk and maple syrup (I'm out of brown sugar), but I've also been snacking on it, "chasing" it with a sip of milk or coffee.

Yes, I know what Muesli is. I'm not big on breakfast. I'd prefer a donut and coffee.

I'm with you on the coffee part. But the Muesli really is good!
