It’s bland as hell but I can’t get enough of it.

    If it’s oats and sesame oil, I’d call that flavor “oaty” and I also really enjoy it. But shredded wheat lacks that flavor for me, so IDK.

    But as a recommendation check out barley tea.

    “Farinaceous” is the term used in mycology for mushrooms that have a grain-like smell/taste.

    Oats and shredded wheat both taste like whole grains because that’s what they are.

    Sounds like you’re craving carbohydrates.

      My grandma used to say “flour makes you stupid!”

      We both loved our wheat products like bread rolls and baguettes without anything on them.

      Pasta and tortillas without sauce are great as well!

      Miss you, Babushka.

      That reminds me of when I was addicted to those Walker shortbread cookies sold at Starbucks (specifically those ones!) and bought 4 packs, and the cashier looked at them and said, “yo these are like crack”

      That same subtle flavor I’ll literally destroy a planet for.

    I would call it grain flavor, they have a slight natural sweetness and mild, almost creamy flavor I wouldn’t call it bland exactly, but subtle, yeah.

    Maybe it’s a primal thing (or, well, a “discovery of agriculture” thing). I love Triscuits. Plain.

    For those of you who don’t know what Triscuits are, they’re simply wheat crackers. The ingredients are whole-grain wheat, canola oil, and salt. That’s it.
