I like a little malt with my cardboard.. and Kelloggs delivers....
If you are Australia and over a certain age, there is no substitute for vegemite. Its the same story as plenty of other stuff....the character, flavour / saltiness, is what we all became accustomed to as children. Like people's favourite whiskey, and dare I say it.....their favourite smokes...its what you are accustomed to, and is why people from other countries dont get it (vegemite)....they didint grow up with it from an early age. All bran schmall bran. Biggest rip off this side of the black stump. No name raw oats...about $1.10 per 750 gram packet in the usual supermarkets. Add whatever flavour you wish on preparation (can be as simple as soaking in a bit of water for a few minutes, or as elaborate as you wish to turn into a "gourmet" breakfast sweet or savoury the sky's the limit), and probably get similar if not better roughage/fibre in the system !
