Is cereal a soup or a salad?

Do you consider the milk in your cereal to be the "broth" of your cereal, or a "condiment" to it?

 

Neither. I don't like milk by itself, so it's not a broth, and it being a condiment doesn't make much sense either. I suppose more how it makes it slop.

 

is that a question or a statement

Well if you look at it another way, milk and cereal is like adding dressing to salad, much like how you could add ketchup to french fries.

When you hear cereal, you usually think "milk and cereal", but cereal could also just be cereal itself.

 

Agreed.

Yeah, some cereal is okay by itself, but most need milk.

 

Then again, with that logic, you could also say ketchup and french fries is a salad.

 

It's more the principle of adding x to y.

 

Right, and with soup, you usually pour in the broth first before the other ingredients.

Anyone who pours milk before their cereal needs to reevaluate their life choices.

 

Eh, half the time with soup everything is just mixed together, but yeah, the broth done first. Plus, to me it's the ratio, I have cereal swimming in milk, but soup is like, the opposite.
ikr, lmao, that'd make a large mess.

 

You eat cereal the same way you eat soup, but you pour milk into cereal same way you pour dressing onto a salad.

 

I don't eat my serial runny tho, which is why it's like the opposite of soup. It's more akin to salad than soup.

 

You mean with less milk?

I usually put more milk in because I like drinking it after.

 

Yeah.

I don't really like milk by itself, hence less.
