Cereal Eats: A New Column Devoted To The Cereal-Obsessed

I love cereal, but proper cereal for grown-ups, not this nutrition-free sugary nonsense.

"Super High Fibre" Dorset Cereals with greek yoghurt is my cereal of choice.

Is Müesli Finally Becoming More Popular in the U.S.?

I have the "Super High Fibre" Dorset Cereals museli over greek yoghur for breakfast four times a week and love it, in fact there are two boxes of it on my desk at work. (I do live in the UK though). I didn't realise that it was unusual to have muesli in the US.

I like crunchy mueslis with toasted oats, I'm less keen on the more traditional chewier ones.

KFC in the UK: Is Fast Food Better in Europe?

KFC is a disgusting hole which hawks low welfare chicken that I wouldn't consider putting near my mouth, but I feel that I should point out that the reason that the fries had "not enough salt" is because KFC UK do not salt their fries. They provide sachets of salt so that you can choose how much to add.

Do You Have a Favorite Brand of Butter?

I don't really care about the brand, I'm more interested in how far it has travelled. Living in the UK, I try to buy british butter wherever possible to cut down on food miles (unless I specifically need French butter). If I can't get british butter, I'll buy dutch or irish, but I refuse to buy butter that's been produced in New Zealand, frozen, and then shipped half way around the world.

Snapshots from the UK: Wagamama's Defunct #28 (Chili Mushroom Ramen)

Everyone knows that the Chicken Katsu Curry is *that* dish at Wagamama.

One Dozen Trader Joe's Eggs, Each with a Double Yolk

This happened to me once with a box of eggs from Earthbound, an organic food shop in Bristol (UK). As a few people have said, young hens lay double-yolked eggs.

A Great Burger in London Hidden in Bodean's Barbecue Restaurant

@Nick: I wasn't having a go, I just find it funny when visitors to anywhere end up eating the food of their home, you've a pretty good excuse in your case! :-) A friend visited from the states recently who's a bit of a fussy eater, we took him to Pasha (Moroccan) and Memories of India, both on Gloucester Road, and he couldn't cope with either. We ended up taking him to the Big Easy on King's Road and he was much happier...

As for "Moroccan meatballs and chicken curry hardly sound English to me"... Chicken curry is our national dish and has been for at least 25 years! When I think of "English food", I never think of Fish & Chips or Ploughman's Lunches, I think curry, fresh fish and perhaps the odd roast. Modern British food draws heavily on influences from the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Southeast Asia; the things you mention are traditional, but hardly represent british food today. That's not to say they don't still exist, I love the occasional visit to Canteen for a Steak & Ale pie or something like that...

Anyway, I seem to have gone off on a tangent... be sure to check out Byron the next time you're back, I'm sure it'll top Bodean's!

A Great Burger in London Hidden in Bodean's Barbecue Restaurant

The best burger in London is found in Byron on Kensington High Street (http://www.byronhamburgers.com) Utterly superb, went there on Giles Coren's recommendation: http://tinyurl.com/9osk6h

Also, why come to London to eat American food? Take a trip to Leon (http://www.leonrestaurants.co.uk/) and discover how wonderful fast food can be. Have the Moroccan Meatballs, then come back for dinner and have the Winter Chicken Curry. Both sublime.
