Broth is water with meat, fish, or veggies simmered in it. Milk by itself is not broth, but since it’s like 90% water, you could use to make broth. Get a lot of milk and simmer some ham bones, garlic, etc and it would be broth.
In this case, it’s not a beverage because it’s not meant to be drunk. Just like how vodka sauce on pasta, or beer cheese sauce with pretzels aren’t beverages.
The definition is sauce is a liquid (or semi liquid) added to food. Between these three options, sauce is the best way to describe cereal milk. However, I don’t think it would be a sauce since it’s a major part of the dish. Look at sauce on wings, or hot sauce, or a dipping sauce, or pizza sauce, or even pasta sauce. These are all parts of the dish, but they don’t make up the majority of it, volume wise. However, milk in cereal does make up like half of the dish volume wise, don’t wouldn’t be a sauce.
So my thoughts would be that cereal is a soup made from a beverage, and grains (usually ground up and toasted.) While it doesn’t contain pieces of meat, it does come from an animal, and is not vegan so I would still say it has meat product in it.

If cereal is the bones, milk is the spinal fluid. There is no blood in this beast. Final answer.

YES

It’s a marinade

Broth while I eat the cereal and a beverage when I drink the remaining milk.

Since the only correct way to make a bowl of cereal is to pour the milk *over* the cereal, it is a sauce.

It is a sauce until the cereal is gone then it is a flavored beverage

Cereal is soup.

The Mr. Charley and Grover as terrible waiter bit is my all-time favorite food related skit.

None. It’s milk. You do whatever you want with it 😉

Cereal is soup.
Hot dogs are tacos.
Lasagna is a casserole.
Hot pockets are ravioli.
Ice cream is a beverage.

A gazpacho?

I like to think of it as a jus
It’s what’s expelled from the cereal meat

I maintain that cereal is a thin parfait. Whatever role yogurt plays in a normal parfait, that is what milk is in cereal. You hydrate cereal grains, but if it’s granola or something prepared, you’re just greasing it up. Whatever you’d call that function.

It becomes a new thing. A soup, if you will..

Cereal is just breakfast soup

It’s a salad. Milk is the dressing.

Milk and cereal is a type of pudding, case closed

All foods are either soup or sandwich. Cereal is clearly a soup, so the milk is broth

I feel like intention is important, but there is a pedantic argument that would win. IMO all things are potentially soup so I default to that.
For it to have remained a beverage, the milk itself would have to be untainted by the cereal. IMO.
The milk itself lacks viscosity, therefore failing to meet the means to be a sauce if one would at least consider a sauce’s job to “coat” whatever it is accompanied with. One could argue that it does indeed coat the cereal, but with cereal being porous, it soaks or passes through it.

None of those. It’s a porridge.

There are only three types of food:
