Shredded Wheat Cereal
I have a box of it and may or may not finish eating it. It's really
disgusting. If I give up on eating it from a bowl with milk and a spoon, does it work in cooking anything? Like maybe meatloaf or meatballs or something? -- -Barb, <http://www.jamlady.eboard.com> 5/8/05. "Are we going to measure, or are we going to cook?" -Food Critic Mimi Sheraton |

Like maybe meatloaf or > meatballs or something? Yep. As long as it's not the sweetened kind. Can be a filler for ground meats. Processed (to whatever degree of fineness), can be added to crumb coatings. Strange one - crumble and add to melted chocolate as one would use rice crispies. Add to bread, tapioca or rice pudding as an extender (soak in the milk or cream first and ad a bit extra to compensate). Crumble, moisten and add to whole wheat breads. Crumble and add to muesli (moisten with yogurt the evening before and keep in the fridge overnight). Cook in a double boiler like oatmeal or cream of wheat. Dash of vanilla, bit of sugar. Cook until very soft. Big glass of Scotch completes all the above. Doesn't make it taste any better, just helps you to forgive the butthead who invented it. Pastorio |

What is there not to like about it? I love the stuff. It is the only cold cereal that I buy. I had it every morning for breakfast for close to 10 years and never tired of it. I just add some whole milk and dark brown sugar or honey, and it is great with bananas or berries. |

(I've just bought another for my 3 1/2 year old and it's cost me £40 for the cage and stuff and £6 for the hamster!) Anyway you can get some little bags of hamster treat museli, and my husband found it in a cupboard, he'd eaten half a bag before I caught him and told him to read the bag! He was really enjoying it until I pointed out it was hamster food! The meatloaf fill sounds a great idea, I think my other half would like it! Sarah |

I agree it is totally tasteless. When i have eaten it I have sliced up
some strawberries and blackberries and mixed them through to try and give it a taste. |
I don't like cereal. Never have, not even as a child. Can't stand the sight of it, nor the taste of it floating around in a bowlful of milk. A few years back, trying to get healthier, I decided I'd give shredded wheat a try, but without the milk. What I do is take the 'biscuits' and dip them in yogurt, eating it like a finger food, like chips 'n dip. It works for me. |

If large biscuits: Toasted Shredded Wheat 2 large biscuits 4 pats of salted butter honey milk Place two pats butter per biscuit on top of each biscuit. Place under broiler and toast till butter is melted and biscuits are lightly browned. Place biscuits in bowl, drizzle with honey, and add milk. If they are those sugar coated spoon-sized abominations, just toss 'em! ...or maybe smash them up and use them for cat litter. nb |
I tried making it hot, adding sugar some butter and when I took it out
of the microwave I added some honey to it. It was still disgusting!! |

These are mini-wheats, by the by. The large ones are horrible. The mini ones are delicious. You just have to race the milk, to see whether you can eat a few before the milk turns them into a thick paste. I eat them dry, without anything and they are nice and crispy-crunchy. What more does one want? Taste? Eat something tasty, not shredded wheat, if that is what you want. |

These are mini-wheats, by the by. Hence the dark brown sugar or honey, rains, bananas or berries. I have to admit that it seems ironic to me that you object to it being bland and then use fat free half and half and skim milk. That is a bland additive to accent a blandness of the Shredded Wheat. AFAIAC most cereals are bland. That's why so many of them are sugar coated or artificially flavoured. The only cereals that have strong natural flavours are those with a lot of bran. .. |

Has anyone talked about making the large biscuits with hot water? My mother pours hot water over hers (after she makes her tea.) then drains off the water. Then she adds a little butter (which melts from the hot water) sprinkles it with sugar and adds a little milk. (Sudden thought: the butter and sugar may be counterproductive to whatever health benefits someone wants to achieve by eating shredded wheat!) While I can't say I've ever craved this, I would eat it without complaint if it were the only thing in the house. That said, I really like the mini wheats with bits of fruit in the middle --especially without milk. They make good snacks to give to my daughter on our commute to or from school. Pablo |

Then she adds a little butter (which melts from the hot water) [notbob raises his hand, waving frantically ....me, me!] Geez, I thought I was the only one. When I was in grade school, my brother and I were babysitted after school by an elderly lady. She ate the large biscuits this way, sans milk and sugar, on her doctor's orders. If we got hungary because mom was working late, the lady would fix shredded wheat for us. It's not as good as the toasted recipe I posted elsewhere in this thread, but it wasn't half bad. Let's face it, butter makes just about anything taste good. nb |
Spray a little olive oil on it. sprinkle with salt, and toast in the oven.
