Fingerbowls for yuppies. 
Very attractive, actually.

  or cornflakes ? 

[chopin-liszt]

Hmmm. I eat cornflakes with sugar only, (I was deprived of frosties as a child) no milk, so that would be ok.
I wouldn't like to see the soggy bits at the bottom, if milk were added.

Or good old Scottish porridge ? 

[chopin-liszt]

Not in a glass bowl, thank you.
The proper way to store and eat porridge is to make it only once a week, it gets poured (in the same way as a glacier pours) into a drawer. Slices can then be cut, to take to work for your lunch.
Obviously it keeps, as it is salted.

  what no sugar and loads of milk ! 

[chopin-liszt]

Never.
