For your first challenge I'm going to ask you for something that might sound simple on first blush... but it may be more than meets the eye.
I'm asking you all to post a picture of some CEREAL. I don't want ANY repeats in types of cereal so if you repeat what someone else posted I won't be happy. Presentation matters.
You have 24 hours. I will then judge the cereal submissions, one of you will be the winner for the round, and at least one of you will be sent home.
when i was picking my bowl of oatmeal i was very particular about what i wanted it to look like. u know? like i have to be honest i HATE a liquid-y oatmeal. i mean i would like it to be moist of course but i very much prefer the oats to be front and center. and i made the executive decision to fully exclude fruits from this bowl. the texture... it's... horrifying when u add a crunchy lil fruit into it. it doesn't work for me. this is the perfect bowl of oatmeal. it's oat-y. it's meal-y. it's got some color to it. it reminds me of like... a blank slate. which is what i am starting at in this competition
This is from the famous Cereal Killer Café in London that I visited being a very EUROPEAN lady. It’s Coco Pops (I believe called Coco Puffs in Americaland) with hazelnut pillows, topped with a Kinder Happy Hippo and accompanied with chocolate milk.
I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about your taste or preference to any type of food, so I decided to take a risk and choose some delicious store-brand Chocolatey Rice Puff Cereal... my favorite.
However the pressure of the competition quickly got to me, as well as the fact that producers wouldn't let me out for a smoke break I fucked up the recipe and forgot my BOWL. But time was running out and I made it work. I shakily present my dish to the judge(s), hoping to survive another week and redeem myself.
