Just to be pedantic, it's steel-cut oats. The Red River wasn't sealed, and had gotten kind of scary, and I chucked it.

. . . I cannot vote properly, as I have never had Red River Cereal, though raspberries and sugar are always a plus.

Also, you have no meh/take-it-or-leave it option.

But my good is seriously something like bananas foster with oatmeal. So, y'know, I think I'll stick with that. When there aren't fresh berries to be had.

Er, the 'cafe au lait' part should be read as vegan also. Damn that dairy allergy!

What I Alluded to in Question Three:

[amazon-syren.livejournal.com]

Blackberries
Mango (chopped/cubed)
Strawberries (optional)
Tea Biscuit or Scone (can be an oatmeal scone, if you want - low sugar)
Vanilla Yoghurt

THAT is what I call quite good. :-D

Although the blueberry pancakes (with vanilla or plain yoghurt, rather than - OR in addition to - the syrup) sound quite loverly, too. :-)

My full answer to number three was... Instant oatmeal, maple flavoured. Covered in handfulls of dried fruit and nuts, which included passion fruit, sunflower seeds, peanuts, raisins. Steeped with boiling well-water at fest, cooked over a gas stove in the fresh, open air.

It was a fresh unique breakfast for me at fest this summer, which probably won't be duplicated ;)

My wife claims the Hawaiian Bread Pudding with Pina Colada Ice Cream (all homemade!) is the best thing you can put in your mouth that doesn't involve chocolate. I made a 9x13 pan of the bread pudding, and we had it for dinner dessert one day, breakfast and dinner dessert the next. It was really! good!
