Grape-Nuts will willingly send you a little folder of recipes free. I don't know if they are online or not.
But you are right, they could have put something more enticing on the box.

I think two ingredients can make a recipe...that household queen, Erma whatever, printed a recipe
for Angel Biscuits that had two ingredients: vanilla ice cream and self-rising flour. Sadly, I don't
recall the amounts, but it shouldn't be too difficult to replicate.

Not in the least. Warm milk at least makes it palatable, otherwise
it's like eating hay.

I think Wheaties and all those flakey wakey cereals are crap, they are
like eating mystery meat, you've really no idea what's in it. This is
my favorite cereal, I can see what's in it, much better than any of
those way over priced flakey wakey kiddie cereals, and I do save
buying it by the four 40 oz bags case, keep the extras in my basement
fridge... very good with cinnamon and a little honey or dark brown
sugar, makes a great lunch or dinner too... I also add some to bran
muffins. It's dense so takes up much less space than that mostly air
kiddie cereal... sometimes I'll mix a cup with two cups of milk and
leave it in the fridge over night, by morning it's a delicious cold
porridge... it's good hot too: http://tinyurl.com/mzsmb5s

I imagine you could substitute melted vanilla ice cream for the heavy
cream. I don't keep self-rising flour in the house, so this two
ingredient recipe would have more ingredients at my house.

Some year ago a friend of my daughter came to stay over. It got late and
she came to tell me she couldn't sleep. I gave her hot milk and left her to
it. Next morning she wanted to know what I had put into that milk <g> She
had gone to sleep so fast, she was convinced I had added something)

Hmmmm. So maybe the hot milk at night really does help to sleep? I
don't know, it just sounds odd to me. :-O I've never drank hot milk.

Warm milk on a nice bowl of Wheaties? You're just not right. That's a
nasty thought.

For me, ice cold milk on Wheaties where the box was refridgerated and
also the bowl. Keeps it all very cold while eating.

You're lucky. Insomnia is no fun. But no, I've never tried hot milk.
Doesn't appeal. Milk has to be ice cold.

Very cold, as in ice cream. I've not had a glass of milk in 50+ years,
but like most milk products.

That's a little longer than I have gone without a glass of milk, though
I rarely drank it at any time in my life. I have it on hot and cold
cereal and steamed with espresso, but I never drink it straight. If I
was really thirsty and went to the fridge for something to drink and
there was nothing other than milk there would be nothing in the fridge
to drink.

We refer to the original recipe here which apparently they had changed, got
complaints and changed it back.

http://www.postfoods.com/our-brands/grape-nuts/

Used to be touted as a health food. The guy who did their commercials was
named Eull Gibbons. Everyone knew who he was because he started out the
commercials saying "Hi" to us and then telling us his name. When he died,
much comedic hoopla ensued on various TV shows with people doing skits and
monologues, implying that the cereal had killed him.

I will say that the cereal tastes really good. But when you try to chew it,
you'll think you have rocks in your mouth. It's that hard! It's also
loaded with calories so a serving is something like 1/4 or 1/3 of a cup.
But that's really all you'll need because even when dampened with milk, your
jaws will be aching before you finish it.

Many do need that kind of guidance. A great percentage of people truly
are morons. How else to do you explain TV programming, for example?

I'm glad I looked. I always wanted to know how to make that chocolate
topping that turns to a chocolate shell when poured over cold ice
cream.

I love that stuff, I thought I might try that one day, too.

Someone posted the link for me after I made those cocadas I
saw on The Kitchen (coconut/condensed milk). Those were good.

Try it tho - something soothing about warm milk right before bed. I find it works most of the time unless I have something troubling on my mind.

I agree tho. With a meal or a nice brownie, it's gotta be ice cold.

You mustn't let the way I feel about them influence you. Grapenuts
are a healthful cold, dry cereal that is formed into very small
nuggets. History:

Pictu

It has been around forever -- late 1800s. Grapenuts is too much

Grape it Bread is even better than GN Custard.

I sprinkle a small amount of Grape-Nuts in the bottom of a Custard Pie crust before
Pouring in the filling. They rise to the top and add some texture.

Ok, thanks If I ever want to eat cereal I shall remember! Why do you say
they are 'too healthy'?

Probably because they taste like cardboard.

My favorite cold cereal is Giant Crunchy Bran Flakes with raisins.
However, whatever they do to get the crunch doubles the sugar content so
I usually stick to Bran Flakes with Raisins.

Parenthetically, grape-nuts taste disgusting!

I happen to think Grape-Nuts are really tasty. There isn't anything wrong with my tastebuds!

I agree with you Nancy. I used to eat it once in a while. A number of
years ago I was talking with a friend who loves it and commented that I
didn't think it tasted as good as it used to. He agreed and said it was
because they changed the recipe for the Canadian market, but the US used
the original version. He makes several trips area across the border for
shopping and, among other things, buys a case or two of Grape Nuts.

I love Grapenuts. They are very crunchy, I can see
why people might be put off by that, but I think they're
yummy.

Grape nuts are edible but I can't imagine anyone having an orgasm over
them... from now on I will keep grapenuts in my pantry, Nancy.

them A bowl of rocks. Think I'll pick up a box (or it is
pick a box up? heh) tomorrow if I'm not snowed in.
