Well, since you are not in Massachusetts now, I won't tell you
about Toscanini's Grapenut ice cream.

Grapenuts are about the only normal cereal I eat. I am not much
of a cereal person, and I am apt to eat it at night, maybe for
dessert, instead of breakfast. The draw is that they don't get
mushy very fast--probably an understatement.
