      Some time ago, I read in a religious newspaper (I think it was a paper published in England) that because of the difficulty in knowing which berachah to say over the various cereals, the writer admitted that he always said shehakol.  In the next edition of this paper, a reader wrote to castigate this writer and quoted the halachah that if a person does not know which berachah to recite over a particular food, he may not say shehakol, but before eating has to go and learn which berachah to recite. (see: Vezos Haberachah by Rav Alexander Mandelbaum, page 1)
