Got an idea for next month's banner?
When I was growing up there was something called creamoata. They don't make it anymore but it was basically ground oats, so I like to blend the oats in a blender then cook with water 50/50, then milk on the top with brown sugar. Tastes like my childhood.
These days I mostly make it for the kids though.
That reminds me of something we used to eat growing up called Nestum. We would make a thick cereal out of it with boiling water and add sweetened condensed milk.
My kids don’t seem to like oats at all. They barely even like cereal for breakfast.
A product called Nestum seems to still be made, a rice cereal for weaning babies?
Two of mine like porridge made my way. And the other prefers weetbix but only at 3:30 in the afternoon, never at breakfast time.
I don’t recall if it was for babies, we definitely weren’t when we were eating it. Yeah I think it’s still made, but not common in western countries: https://www.nestle.com.my/brands/dairy/nestle-nestum
Usually it would be made thinner as a cereal drink
Ah, here's the one I searched up: https://www.nestle-esar.com/brands/nutrition/nestum
Looks like they market it differently for different audiences. The babies also miss out on all the different flavours!
