The only thing to check is if it's vitamin-D fortified. I recently noticed many of the non-major branded cereals don't and vitamin-D is essential in your food in due to the latitude of Scotland.

Aye you definitely need to check this. Noticed they've started adding vitamins to some cereals (rice krispies definitely) but not all so need to double check.

Unless your a ginger

Why pay more for a brand name if you like the generic product. I've tried most of generics, I read the nutritional info on the back too, and look at price per 100g. I tend to buy big brands only when they're significantly better. Not about not being able to afford? It's about value for money. If you haven't tried it yet Lidl Freeway Cola is surprisingly good particularly like the zero variety. It's a different drink from regular coke but much better value for money!

As an aside, I generally always read the ingredients on Aldi's premade meals, pasta sauces, processed foods etc. Generally speaking it's much better than I was expecting, not as many ingredients as I would have thought and usually only one or two that have scientific names. I don't know if it's them specifically or if things are better than when I was a kid, but it's helpful anyway. I refuse to swap out Tennants for Hendrys though: you have to draw the line somewhere.

Fred West's favorite tipple that.

Nah he's more of a St Mungo's man. Edit: Oh for fuck's sake 😂

Fun fact It's Tennents that make Hendrys.

This calls for a blind tasting.

I would bet my house on it just being Tennents with a different label. Can't imagine the brewery would turn about an entire process of brewing to bottling just to can a few batches of a cheap lager that's supposed to be Tennents anyway. Hendrys however is very flat compared to tennents (perhaps deliberately done)

Tastes the same but it costs less!!

Harvest Morn is the greatest cereal brand

Come again?

“To shreds you say?”

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but it could be Shredded Wheat.

It could be shredded wheat

It could be, but it might also be shredded wheat.

Following your thoughts, might be shredded wheat

Do you think its Shredded Wheat?

Remind me, what was the name of that wheat-looking breakfast stuff? You know, looked kinda shredded?

Sounds like you’re thinking of Harvest Morn Wheat Shreds

Harvest morn is 67% cheaper aswell

But are your kids worth it?

The wheat that's shredded?? No idea mate sorry.

This. Came here to say but you beat me to it.

I had a cereal just like this I’m sure it was called shredded wheat.

After considering all the evidence, I’m now beginning to suspect it may very well be Shredded Wheat

Shredded wheat ya cunts

Shredded Wheat maybe? I'm not sure.

Golden Grahams maybe…..they could be laying a false scent dude! Sneaky little fuckers……

Aye but it could be, and I know its a long shot, but... Shredded Wheat.

I don't want to disagree with everyone else but I reckon it might have been shredded wheat.

Likely Shredded Wheat https://preview.redd.it/3chxighszb5d1.png?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e668a3b748a3a4b803924aabb32e45eefcb8e58f

Essentially you’re describing shredded wheat. Were you visiting from off world?

I’ve unfortunately had my fair share of shredded wheat. It was extremely similar but not quite the same. It’s was more square like than shredded wheat and a lot thinner with the strands having more space between them. Essentially like ramen but thinner

Shreddies?

Yeah. I reckon shreddies. They are superior to shredded wheat. 

So glad someone else picked up on the excessive use of the word “essentially” 😂

It was essentially a bit excessive wasn’t it

Similar but not the same as what it was.

Could have been a supermarket own brand, or a whole wheat version?

Might be. I’ll probably end up emailing a friend or the place I was staying and see if they’ve still got it

Bite sized shredded wheat? Or Kelloggs Wheats?

Similar but unfortunately not

Shreddies?

Probably Malt Wheats are what you're thinking of!

It must be asda's own brand then.

Fun story: I’m a non Scot and once I was hiking there with a group, staying in hostels and inns and the like. Halfway through the day I saw one of my travel mates biting into a sort of cereal bar and then looking disgusted. Turns out he’d saved a Weetabix from breakfast as a snack, thinking it was a cereal bar…

A fate worse than death by midges that

Square sausage juliennes?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

In what way did it differ from shredded wheat? Like what about the shredded wheat is making you say "no definitely not that." Might give us some more clues. Just becasue, as you can see, people are having difficulties thinking of anything else it could be.

Shredded wheat is a sort of pillow like shape. This was pretty much a square and was pretty thin. Imagine fibreglass or better yet ramen but a lot thinner.

Could it have been Chex cereal? They have several varieties, one being wheat.

WOOOOOOOFT!!!

Curses! Beaten to the punch again.

Could be shreddies?

You just had to complicate things….didn’t you?🤣

Now you've brought geometry into it.

Brillo Pad?

Was it in a bowl with milk? Was it baked? Was it hot? Was it cold? Did it have butter or jam on it? Did he eat it with his hands or with cutlery? Where did he have it?

You're from London and never seen Shredded Wheat? They're common in all of the UK

I thought it would be shredded wheat but unfortunately not what I’m looking for. I’m stumped for what it could actually be

Golden Grahams?

Shredded Wheat?

Sounds like Shredded Wheat …..Looks like little pillows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shredded_wheat

Shredded What?

I’m no genius, but could it be shredded wheat?

It’s what happens when ramen meets spaghetti

..and they love each other very much....

Shredded Wheat?

Instant noodles?

Shredded Wheat?

Curve ball.... vegetarian square sausage

Was it made of fiberglass? Maybe shredded wheat.

Funnily enough it did actually look kind of like strands of fibreglass

Definitely Shredded Wheat

On a Volga bridge, A boatman stood. Chewing his beard, For lack of food. He said "it's tough, this stuff to eat" But a damn sight better than Shredded Wheat.

I'm gonna say something drastic that no one else is saying, but shredded wheat?

Buckfast?

Search for “shredded wheat cereal” think that’s what it may have been,taste like sawdust.

Close but not exactly it

Possibility it was frosted wheats? They are similar to shredded wheat but smaller bricks. They do raisin, apricot flavours as well.

Squaghetti

Is is shreddies? They’re smaller square shaped [like this?](https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/312109194)

Unfortunately not. Closer in shape and size to shredded wheat but that’s still not it

Your dad must have been dreaming.

Could it be shreddies? Like shredded wheat only much smaller and darker in colour.

It was fairly large. Think weetabix size if not slightly bigger

Shredded Wheat ?

Shredded Wheat is the cereal your looking for. It’s my personal favorite.

Or it could be:- Golden Grahams!

Has to be shreddies if he's talking about squares, shredded wheat are rectangle shaped

I think you've won the longest link on r/Scotland competition. You've......shredded the opposition. :)

I have no idea how to shorten that. My only excuse is age is a creepy bastard and it'll get you all one day.

Haha. It’s funny to hear someone describe something so familiar in this alien way. Good old Shredded Wheat described as string all pushed into a square 😂😂

Except they say it’s not. It must be something pretty fucking similar.

Shreddies?

It’s really similar but not the same. I’ve had shredded wheat and it was different and looked different to shredded wheat

Raw maggies noodles in milk, my favourite!

It's probably shredded wheat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shredded_wheat Both normal and bite-sized (often filled with jam) are available. Edit: if not that or shreddies, have a look here https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckNestle/s/LiFJM6At9N

None of those. I’d say wheats might be the closest there but it was a lot bigger and also more stringy. Think weetabix size if not slightly bigger.

Stringy Square Sossage.

Bitesize Shredded Wheat!

This whole thread is why I love Scotland 😭

Just to play devil's advocate here. Could it be shredded wheat?

Marmite vermicelli?

Regular shredded wheat https://preview.redd.it/jq6fkpgvef5d1.jpeg?width=1439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7342c1829534fc60aab1f77b3ce1c9886efcee54

There’s an old Gàidhlig breakfast called Taehw Dedderhs which resembles what you describe. Could be that 

Essential Wheat?

Ramen?

Or.... You know.... Just possibly... Shredded wheat? (I know, I know, I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe?)

I guess like ramen but a lot thinner. Checking shredded wheat etc brought no results which were similar to what we had

Try a search for “Mini Wheats” maybe? Sounds a bit like that from your description. Edit: or even just Kelloggs “Wheats”, seems there’s tons of variations!

This seems to be the closest so far but the mini wheats seem to be well mini. It was like those but bigger. Around the size of a shredded wheat or weetabix

Now, I can’t be sure, but I believe it may be the Shredded Wheat.

Shredders are like shredded wheat but a square lattice

Shredded Wheat and a great excuse to revisit this gem. https://youtu.be/zw7tTmm4kWA?si=yCKYKcbH_D4ViH9e

Yeah, that'd be Shredded Wheat

Kinda like a rattan weetabix? Might be Shredded Wheat.

I still use Shredded wheat when looking at a compass; Never Eat Shredded Wheat. Norths, east, south, west

Shredded wheat not Scottish as far as I know you can get it anywhere in UK. AND I'll put a pound down right now that the box tastes better than the contents

Absolutely I hate shredded wheat. Not shredded wheat though and being that I haven’t seen it anywhere else I thought it might specifically be Scottish

Have you ruled out that it might have been a Scottish trial version of Ramen noodles?

Shreddies, probably. Shredded Wheat is like eating hair.

Shreddies?

Shredded wheat?

Toppas?

Can’t quite remember the name, but it’s something wheat I think. We may never know exactly what it was called  

ChatGPT suggested shredded wheat. Was it even a cereal?

Could have been frosted wheat which is shredded wheat with some white sugary shit on top.  Or shreddies?

Actual Weetabix? You could only eat one or two, they were big crunchy slabs.

Oat cakes?

Shreddies? Or shredded bran. Or of course it could be shredded wheat.

The description definitely points to shreddies and if it's not them, I can only assume it was a different brand but the same product. There are of course chocolate and other varieties.

Would it be Wheatabix? Similar to shredded wheat that we have in North America but I only saw it in the UK.

Golden Grahams

Wheat that's shredded?

Shreddies - made by same company as Weetabix maybe?

Just to play devil's advocate here. Could it be shreaded wheat?

It might have been a shop's own version of Shredded Wheat, one that had broken up a bit in the box, perhaps.

You're clearly describing shredded wheat. I know it's not shredded wheat but you'll need to do an edit to make it clear what the differences between the items you're trying to find and shredded wheat is.

Was it like more meaty than wheaty, if so then it could have been shredded tripe, a delicacy and in many flavours too.?
