I've tried eating it in the following ways: * Eating it raw/as-is. Very crunchy (I think those crunch sounds are my teeth). * Dipping it in water/milk (good for crunched teeth). Still crunchy (need dentures, now). * Putting it in a bowl of water, and microwaving it. Soggy on the outside, crunchy in the middle. All I can eat with crunched teeth for now. * Soaking it in a bowl of water for three hours. Soggy all around, with some crunchy bits here and there. Appetizing! * Soaking it in a bowl of milk for three hours. Worst cereal ever. Haven’t been down to the stores again because it’s the holiday season, and I don’t want the ‘Rona from mad shoppers.

What the hell is the matter with you? I kid. But I don't. I've a small jar saved from cooking bacon. It's my favorite cooking oil for high temp use and seasoning my cast iron pans.

I kid.
