THE MEN BEHIND the UK’s first ever cereal café started an argument in TheJournal.ie HQ today.

So, to change things up, we’ve decided to hit you with a Hump Day dilemma.

The Keery brothers told the John Murray Show earlier that they don’t consider porridge to be a cereal (we’re guessing it won’t be one of the 100 delicacies on offer).

But, wait? Porridge, not a cereal? Are they wrong?

Let’s decide.
