Cereal on it's own, no. It's a grain. Cereal with milk? Maybe.
But the question is "Is cereal a soup?" and not "Is cereal with milk a soup?"
Therefore cereal is not a soup.

> ,the grain part is called corn flakes,when you mix it with milk it becomes cereal,have you never eaten a bowl of cereal for gods sake?
Not every cereal is made in a way to be considered corn flakes. I wouldn't talk so fast before checking all the different types of cereal.

what do you understand from this message?
This thread has been intermittently comprehensible. At first, as I read post after post in succession along it, I wondered if I was having a stroke. But then I turned to read a chess book and I could still understand it, at least to the ordinary extent.
If I were going to make a "bowl of cereal" I would first take cereal, and pour it into the bowl At that point, I would already have a bowl containing cereal. Then I could add some raisins, because I've found that raisins add that certain something to a cereal-containing bowl. And then? What would I add to the cereal already fully present? I would add milk, which is not, in and of itself, cereal.
Then I would sit down, next to the spaniel, to consume it with a spoon (the food, not the spaniel). Neither the milk, nor the raisins, nor the bowl, nor the spoon, nor the spaniel are cereal. The cereal comes in a box.
How can we be sure? Look at the box, and notice that it says "cereal" on the outside. Now peer into the box. Inside the box we see no milk, no raisins (unless it is raisin bran or the like), no bowl, no spoon and no spaniel unless the damned spaniel got there first. But even then, only a part of the spaniel would be in the box. Namely, his snout.
