Poll question: Do you like or loathe lumps in hot cereal?
I hate them in oatmeal, but love them in cream of wheat and malt-o-meal.

1. I hate hot cereal period.
I know I should like it. It is healthy and cheap - the perfect food but it must be the texture (oatmeal in particular) or something. I just literally gag every time I try.

2. I am with you 100%.
Couldn't stand it as a kid. Refuse to eat it now.

My lovely wife chides me about this regularly, but I don't care. Healthy, shmealthy. It tastes like paste.

The only one I could ever stand was Ralston, and it's not made anymore.

4. Same here
I don't even put milk in my cold cereal 'cause I can't stand mushy cereal. It has to CRUNCH, dammit! :)

6. Yep, I'm a gagger too.
The only way I've ever eaten oatmeal since that first try back 30 something years ago is in apple crisp or something similar.

Hate oatmeal. Hate it. Gack.

5. I suppose it depends on what the lumps are made of
A lump of Cream of Wheat in my Cream of Wheat = acceptable.

A lump of coal in my oatmeal = :wtf:

I know. Picky, picky, picky.

7. doesn't matter to me....
I usually eat oatmeal, but I have been known to have some chocolate malt o meal when I can find it......it is bad about lumping up.....I just fish them out usually.

When I was young I used to think the little hard things in the oatmeal were toenails...lol

8. no crunchies with squishies
I hate lumps in mashed potatos, can't stand celery in tuna fish or in stuffing mix, and generally picky about food consistency.

15. Ummm....
I can't really say I've ever gotten lumps in my hot cereal; I like hot cereal, however, especially Cream of Wheat!

:)
