Popcorn as Breakfast cereal? Sounds crazy, but it's good! I read about it as a kid that in the colonial days folks would eat it with milk and honey for breakfast and a treat. Unsalted popcorn of course

When I was a kid, my father used to make us all eat popcorn with milk. I never cared for it, but I was a teenager. He said it was a big treat for them during the depression. Then one day I was reading Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder (a great read for anyone who wants to be self sufficiant by the wya) and he was having popcorn and milk wiht his family as a treat. He made the comment that it was an "amazing thing", not only was it good, but you can put as much popcorn in a cup as you do milk...just keep adding the popcorn to the milk and it just stays the same.
Anyways...popcorn in milk has been considered a treat for hundreds of years. In todays sweetened cereal minds, it just hasn't been thought of much, however, exhibit A: Sugar Pops cereal, which is: popped corn covered in honey.

Popcorn was used for more than just a breakfast cereal; it works as a thickener for soups and stews, or cooked down in hot water for a mush.
