Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the
day, and it's a meal that's enjoyed the world over. Depending on where
you are in the world, breakfast can come in many different forms;
British people love a good fry-up whereas the Japanese are known for
enjoying steamed rice and miso soup first thing in the morning!
However,
there's one staple breakfast item that people the world over enjoy -
cereal. Typically served in a big dish with ice cold milk or yoghurt
poured over the top, cereal kickstarts the day of millions of people on a
regular basis and comes in many varieties, from sugary, chocolate-y
treats to plain old corn flakes.
Like breakfast as a whole, cereals tend to differ depending on where you are in the world, but one of the masters of the breakfast cereal is undoubtedly the United States - they did invent it, after all. The first breakfast cereal invented in 1863 by New Yorker James Caleb Johnson, and the US has been creating awesome cereals ever since.
For those of us who don't live in the US, the varieties of cereal on offer Stateside can seem bewildering - as well as invoking more than a bit of food jealousy! Here are three of the best American breakfast cereals; you've probably heard of some of them on your favourite US TV shows and movies!
Lucky Charms
Combining toasted oat pieces with delicious marshmallow shapes, Lucky Charms are one of the finest - if not necessarily good for you - cereals in the world. Lucky Charms are famous for their leprechaun mascot and his trademark catchphrase 'they're always after me Lucky Charms!' and are the perfect way to cheer up a gloomy morning.
If Lucky Charms seem familiar, that's because they actually used to be widely available in the UK until the 1990s. You can still get them now from specialist retailers - but expect to pay a little extra.
Trix
Trix cereal is arguably more famous for it's mascot, the Trix Rabbit, than it is for the cereal itself. Constantly trying to get it's paws on a bowl of delicious Trix, the poor old Trix Rabbit was always met with the same response; 'silly rabbit, Trix aren't for rabbits!'
However, while Trix certainly aren't for rabbits, they're an undeniably delicious treat for humans! Trix consists of sweetened, fruit-flavoured ground corn pieces and is arguably the most colourful cereal around!
Cap'n Crunch
Carrying on the rich tradition of mascots that often outshine the cereal itself, Cap'n Crunch is probably more well-known for the mascot of the same name outside of the states than the cereal itself! It's a good job the cereal is tasty too!
Original flavour Cap'n Crunch consists of square cereal pieces combining oats and corn, and then sweetened. However, Crunch's real strength lies in it's many different varieties; 'Crunch Berries', 'Deep Sea Crunch' and 'Christmas Crunch' being three of the best.
Oh, and don't eat too much Crunch at once - the cereal is infamous for causing 'crunch mouth' in those who eat too much of it, in which the gums are irritated by the crunchy cereal!
