May I introduce you to British abomination food: Weetabix
Weetbix is Australian. And is usually just a base you add other flavours to.
Though there's a 1 minute sweet spot where the milk has got in enough, but not too much, that a plain one can be pretty good
Interesting, after Googling, it looks like both Weetabix and Weetbix are a thing. It was started in Australia as Weetbix and eventually expanded internationally with a factory in England. They renamed it Weetabix to differentiate the product from that sold in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
An interesting internet rabbit hole I didn't expect to go down today, ha! My English grandparents often ate Weetabix, and when you said it was Australian, I didn't believe you (and had a typo lol.) Turns out it's both. I'd assumed Brits must have introduced it over there, but it's the opposite.
I hate myself too much to add anything.
I once new a girl that had them in hot water. We don't talk anymore.
Not only does it get soggy way too quickly to the point that you will have to spoon a watery grout, it's also completely bland. Also stay away from what the English call "continental breakfast", the only reason it, and the included vaguely Croissant-shaped abominations, exist is so that the English can cut off their tongue to spite the French. Stick with a full English, ideally three times a day, possibly interspersed by fish but don't eat the chips or at least try to stop them from dousing them in vinegar before you can say a thing. Many have asked "Is it even possible for English food to be that bad?", and the answer is "If prepared correctly, alas, yes".
The only properly edible thing on that god-forsaken rain-drenched misery Island is Chicken Tikka Masala, and it's not even English. Go visit the Netherlands instead, at least you can get vla in cartons there and while the weather is just as bad, the locals won't mind you complaining about it as they have the good sense to not be proud of it.
They look like McDonald’s hash browns.
I kinda love this idea actually
