You said it for me UK Bob :xeri_ok1ani:

I wish the fries I got from McDonald's were crispy, but they are not even close, because the eastern-european behing the counter serving me doesn't really care :rolleyes:
Some of the food we eat over here gets very weird, and even the names.
"Toad in the hole", yes that's what it's called... Mmmm, sausages in Yorkshire pudding :D

And do not even get me started on Pie and Mash. :biggrin:

Hey LOTR

What is vegemite, is it some kind of vegetarian marmite?


UK Bob

Marmite is vegetarian to start with Bob.
Or was that a sarcastic joke? If so, forget i wrote this.

The Sheikh

Lord, i do believe the "White sauce" you speak of which is used with fish is called "Tartar sauce". And it is beautiful

Sheikh

I'm quite sure that Marmite is made with beef extract, whatever that is.


UK Bob

Hmm, I'll have to look that up, i just thought it was sugar and yeast....and a little bit of tar :biggrin:

Sheikh

Sheikh

I was wrong, it's made from "Yeast Extract" and not "Beef" as I originally thought, I still hate the stuff.


UK Bob

Well you either hate it or you love it, eh...
I love the stuff, i even add it to my Spaghetti Bolognaise sometimes... :super:

Tartar sauce that's it. ;) Yes it is great. Properly made. My father used to make his own from home grown herbs which was superb.

Echo both of you, you either love or hate it .. well .. strangely I'm in middle. I sometimes like it when in mood. And it is a yeast extract, obviously giving it the sharp flavor it has. It's supposed to be applied very thinly. But some people trying it for first time use lots & get a culture shock rock them & never touch it again. When applied lightly, it still has a touch of sharpness in flavor yet a subtleness as well.

Mmm :) home made Tartar, sounds exquisite.
You can't be in the middle, Lord, you either love it or hate it, just like the advert says...so make your mind up :tongue:

The hardest thing in the world is trying to spread Marmite over toast, it's like trying to spread wet mud over sand. :shoot:
