for help restoring detail to deteriorated autobiographical contexts.

I found an antique Metro portrait,


and have not been able to recall the name of the cereal.

Apple Jacks?

Cheerios?



Not that I have ever eaten cereal, or even being close to it (except in the States, of course). But I thought they were the typical doughnut shaped cereal...

Apple Jacks used to be mostly brown with just flecks of "red" in them. They changed them at some point and gave them green and red color. So it could be pre-color Jacks, or Cherrio variants.

My first thought was 'Damien?', though.

Mine was "Midwich?"

Is "graham" American for "cinnamon"?

A graham cracker is something like a digestive biscuit, but with more graham flour in it.

Oh, my, yes! Although he's smiling too much. Maybe he just made George Sanders stub his toe.

That helped us not in the least.

Graham flour? How many Grahams do they have to grind up to get a pound of that?

Wiki it!

You know those little brown shiny bits in a Digestive? there are more of them in a graham cracker. Also molasses, I think. It's a not-too-sweet rectangular biscuit, indispensable in making S'Mores.

I know what they are, minxie. I've even lectured extensively on the topic.

And have been cited in fine academic literature as well.
