The first breakfast cereal
had to be soaked overnight before it could be eaten.
It's
probably safe to assume that when you reach for your favorite cereal in the morning, you can simply pour some in a bowl and
start eating it. But in order to consume the first manufactured breakfast
cereal, which was created in 1863, you had to soak it in milk overnight just to
make it edible. The cereal was made of graham flour that had been baked into
brittle cakes, then crumbled up and baked again. Not surprisingly, "it was
not an immediate success," according to The New York Times Magazine.
