Do you add anything to your Weetabix?

Is weetabix with water some Northern thing? The only person I know who does it is from Cheshire.
Thus my sample is based on one person.

Make that two. But I'm from Stoke on Trent, which is well north of Watford and therefore Northern :)

I rarely eat Wheetabix. My preferred breakfast/supper/general snack is ground or flaked oats in cold water. Pour them in, add cold water from the tap, stir a bit, leave for a minute or so, eat. Convenient and tasty. I like the taste and texture of oats. I slightly prefer ground to flaked, but both are good. It's also very cheap - you can get a big bag of them for buttons and they don't go off for ages. A bugger to clean off stuff if you don't do it soon after eating, but that's true of Wheetabix too.

Or oatcakes. Potteries style oatcakes (which are pancakes), not Scottish style oatcakes (which are biscuits). Although many Potteries people think I'm a bit odd because I enjoy eating oatcakes cold and on their own. It's far more common to eat them hot and wrapped round other stuff that's also hot.

Cold oats with water, well this is new. Sounds dreadful, I don't mind when my porridge goes lukewarm but cold? absolutely not. Or are your oats different to say rolled porridge oats?
 
I can't stomach weetabix anymore, so it's All Bran with a chopped up banana and a bit of honey or porridge with nutmeg/cinnamon and maybe raisins or berries.
 
Now I am even more intrigued about Weetabix.

I have 4 or 5 Weetabix, with approximately a Pint of cold milk.. Does everyone else eat the same amount? Or am I excessive? :eek:
 
I used to eat them whole with no milk on the go as a good source of carbs back in the days when I could be bothered to go to the gym that is. Always use to make people go "Yuck".
 
I've only recently started eating them again as I had to significantly cut down on fiber (thanks to IBD), had to reduce it again but I do like Weetabix - used to do similar, I like to eat a banana a day when I can so sometimes chop one up to put on the Weetabix but also often grab a box of blueberries or seedless grapes too so sometimes some of those go on instead.
