Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

That reminds me of something we used to eat growing up called Nestum. We would make a thick cereal out of it with boiling water and add sweetened condensed milk.

My kids don’t seem to like oats at all. They barely even like cereal for breakfast.

A product called Nestum seems to still be made, a rice cereal for weaning babies?

Two of mine like porridge made my way. And the other prefers weetbix but only at 3:30 in the afternoon, never at breakfast time.

I don’t recall if it was for babies, we definitely weren’t when we were eating it. Yeah I think it’s still made, but not common in western countries: https://www.nestle.com.my/brands/dairy/nestle-nestum

Usually it would be made thinner as a cereal drink

Ah, here's the one I searched up: https://www.nestle-esar.com/brands/nutrition/nestum

Looks like they market it differently for different audiences. The babies also miss out on all the different flavours!
