The debate over whether to pour cereal or milk first has garnered significant online attention, with former athlete Harry Aikines-Aryeetey advocating for pouring milk first. He even warms the milk in a microwave before adding cereal, igniting discussion among breakfast enthusiasts. Barry Smith, a scientist, weighing in on this topic, mentioned that adding cereal to milk can prevent sogginess, but pouring milk over cereal offers better coating. He highlights that people's cereal preferences are tied to texture, pointing out that our perception of food varies significantly with its consistency.
However, it will be better coated if the milk is poured on. Timing is key, he said. 'Of course, it depends what the cereal is.'
Barry Smith explained that cereal won't go soggy as quickly if it's added to a bowl of milk, suggesting different cereals require different handling for texture preference.
Think of people who like their scrambled eggs runny, or firm; we can put people on a scale and they will not be happy at the other end.
As foods we chew change in texture by chewing, crunching or melting them in the mouth, altering how we experience flavors.
