jelly and custard at parties!

No I agree...it is actually made from the waste by product of beer... but to me it tastes like a very salty slimy beef extract...and as the link says it became popular with veggies in place of beef extract.

Aye, vegans don't get any vitamin B12 as it's found in animal products, and they don't eat dairy or egg. I used to take some kind of yeast supplement for the short time I was a vegan.

I love salty but not this stuff! I told my husband to pack a jar of marmite when we went to Thailand but he didn't. Fortunately my inlaws from Australia brought tubes of Vegemite for him. He prefers it to Marmite - easier to spread.
 

Love jelly and custard.....also jelly with fruit in..........and blancmange........jam mixed in rice pudding.........oh! hell anything that is sweet.:bigwink:
 
Marmite needs to be spread very thinly on buttered toast. It's wonderful, so there!The new law [just heard this on the radio, and it comes into effect from Sunday morning]is that all those poor creatures that don't enjoy Marmite have to go and live North of the Border[Scotland] where they will be force fed haggis and deep fried Mars Bars until they come to their senses.;)

Oh hahaha! Haggis is edible but I wouldn't go out of my way to get some. And neither of us has ever had a deep fried Mars bar, or deep fried pizza. ;)Gag.

I must say I much prefer Scottish fish and chips, as England seems to serve cod and I prefer haddock.
 
Well being Scottish I was raised on haggis..I would never have needed to be force fed it, it's deeelicious ...I've never had a deep fried mars bar and I never will , and I don't eat fish and chips ..but Marmite is the devils food...and only fit to clean the hooves of every one of the three legs of the Scottish haggi.. :D
 
Oh the wild Scottish Haggi herds live only on the Isle Of Skye these days, and even then are impossibly shy creatures.You would never catch one, to clean it's hooves.You could possibly use Marmite to polish your dirk though?Or clean your bagpipes?
I prefer haddock to cod too [being originally from Yorkshire] where you just say 'fish and chips please' as there isn't a choice there.Some people prefer to omit the 'please'.
A Yorkshire joke; a man's wife dies, and later he goes to the stonemason to tell him what he wants carved on the gravestone.Lots of carved flowers please, as she liked flowers, and the inscription 'Lord she was thine'. The stonemason says 'right, come back in a week'. A week later he goes back and looks at the gravestone, the flowers are lovely, but the inscription reads 'Lord she was thin' ; outraged, the man gestures at it and says 'Look at it man, youv'e left out the e !' 'Oh, sorry' says the stone mason 'I'll fettle it' [means he will fix it] 'come back tomorrow'. The man returns the next day and the stonemason proudly shows him the stone, which now reads ' Eee Lord she was thin.' ;)

No fish and chips??!! I don't eat it often (calories) but it's pure bliss!
 
Feelings about marmite and haggis seem to run deep your side of the pond - I think I'll step aside and let you sort this out. ......

Just no one take away my marmite...:boxing:

LOL! Love what I've seen of Yorkshire. And I have to say the haddock and chips I had there could easily compete with the Scottish. Best mushy peas ever were in Whitby.

It's a long running joke to tell foreigners, especially Americans, that the haggis is an animal you catch and cook up as haggis. Many believe it.
 
Many of us here (Canada) do know about haggis, I believe on Robbie Burns day or some such, it's served in some pubs for brave (and drunk) souls to try.

Rabbie Burns (Scotland's national poet) night celebrations include haggis, neeps, and tatties, and whisky. Also storytelling and singing.

I've been served haggis in some B & B's with breakfast. A friend occasionally serves it with dinner.
 
I've never seen hag meat in the supermarkets here. Or is it a just mythical creature, like the Lokal Nest monster? :D


  1. Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and nowadays often in an artificial casing.

Who says the Loch Ness monster is fake??!! ;)
 
We have our own 'monster' too, here in Okanagan Lake in Kelowna B.C. known as Ogo Pogo. It's totally real!!! :D

Also, Beaver Tails, (below) a national delicacy available during Winter Carnival in Ottawa, consisting of deep fried pastry sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Eat your hearts out ladies!
