We were camping in the Peak District a few weeks ago and the village shop still sold milk in glass bottles. You had to rinse them out 'n return 'em 'n that. It was cool!

I don't know if it still exists or not but this thread has reminded me of a breakfast cereal called puffed wheat. I was never a big fan of sugar puffs, but puffed wheat was basically sugar puffs without the sugar. Wonderful, if you like eating polystyrene slugs in milk.

Yup, still out there, alas.

I think for the ultimate in joyless breakfasts, healthfood stores will sell you puffed millet.
