Ian, I have heard it said (not by me) that there is always room for a little one. Not quite sure to what it referred.

LOL! I am not so sure either CH. Seems like an Aussie problem from too much Vegemite.... Yes, I have heard that as well. Perhaps the phrase refers to our antipodean friends, who knows? The damage Vegemite can do seems to know no bounds. It truly saddens me. The Kiwis seem fine though, perhaps it is because they prefer MARMITE? We, (Lady CH, myself and the necessary servants) will be venturing to Australia later this year on a fact finding mission and also to promote the well-being of the locals, by providing them with up to date health advice and nutritional information regarding MARMITE. I just know they are going to love it. We will also be offering counselling to those that only had access to Vegemite. BTW how is your test taster doctor friend #2? Has he recovered from the Vegemite poisoning yet? I suppose the colonic irrigation might have helped alleviate his demise. Do wish him well from me.  |

Boy am I glad to be back on here again. I decided to try mixing both Vegemite and Marmite on the same piece of toast.....tragic results..... The two just couldn't get along. |

Ah, a terrible thing to do sir, contaminating Marmite with an imposter.
The awful silent scream of the toast when Vegemite is seen to approach it and then be applied.
Having just partaken of the real thing, (two rounds of toast, lightly buttered and Marmite delicately caressed over the surface), a cup of Earl Grey tea with a touch of milk, I feel fit and ready to face the day.

Well, after thankfully waking up again after the latest op, my superb nurses and carers were at pains to return me to normal. (No easy task I assure you, as I have never been described as normal, much to my pleasure). So... I have to drink water first. Then a cup of tea, (Earl grey with just a touch of milk). Then I have to eat. Oh yes! "What would you like" they said. "There is only one thing that can restore my body and mind to its former glory", I replied without hesitation, MARMITE on toast! They all agreed, cheers rang throughout the ward and then the whole of the building, the surgeon was consulted and he prescribed copious quantities of MARMITE on toast to return me to rude health. Ah, the joy of the NHS, Earl grey tea and MARMITE!  |

I was eating my usual MARMITE on toast for breakfast whilst relaxing in the garden. Then, horror of horrors, I dropped a piece of toast upon the ground below. No sooner had I done so, than squirrels, pigeons and other birds swooped down and engaged in a fight for the right to eat it. In the melee that ensued I have no idea how much was consumed by each of the participants. I only know that wild creatures know what is good to eat and what is not. Surely this proves beyond doubt that MARMITE is good for you!
I shall of course get one of the servants to make another round of toast and MARMITE especially for this wonderful appreciative wildlife to enjoy every day.

My Lord CH...Ooh, I can see the cause of your ongoing problems now... ooh, it's not vegemite, it's not MARMITE, hmmmm, oooohh, EARL GREY..... ooohh, hmm, not a good breakfast tea.. Hmmm, as a doctor ( Of not much), May I recommend YORKSHIRE tea, for it's strength and flavour, and general 'wake me up'ness!', as opposed to earl greys rather limp wristed approach! YORKSHIRE TEA! IF CAN KEEP T'MINERS GOING ( Pre 1984 anyways...), IT CAN KEEP THOU GOING AN'ALL!
YORKSHIRE TEA AND MARMITE.......MMMMMMMMMM!
PS: For the US cousins, it's not YORK-SHIRE... it's actually pronounced YORK-SHURE. Call it a shire ( as in lord of the rings, and you will be treated to complete disdain by polite people. If you are ever here, go to the mining museum, Caphouse colliery in Wakefield, and I promise you, you will be scared. 300 meters down, then they switch the lights off!
I have nothing to do with the museum, it's just a good day out... It is ..Honest.

Whilst I am familiar with Vegemite, I've not been exposed to Marmite. Could someone give me an idea of what to expect as I intend to go to a local English restaurant/market and give it a go. Not something one can just pick off of the shelves of your average market here in America.

Not something one can just pick off of the shelves of your average market here in America. Ah, jk, what delights await you! I doubt somewhat that it might be available in a restaurant, however, if you find an English market, let it be known across the world for it having MARMITE for sale. You may of course have to fill in a multi page application form in order to assess your suitability to partake of the dark nectar. It is as I hope you might come to realise, a treat beyond the wildest expectations and not to be given out to those that are not of a discerning palate. When you sample the splendour that is MARMITE you will instantly be transformed into a state of ecstasy previously unknown or experienced and will wonder why on earth anyone would want to eat Vegemite. Enjoy! |
