I LOVE Marmite. Man....on buttered toast and with tea or coffee!! To dip even. Or with fresh cheddar on top! Good, good stuff. I had forgotten about Bovril but it was only in an emergency when the Marmies was finished.
Vegemite is not bad........but a clear distant second to Marmite. I get my Marmite/Vegemite from a shop that imports SA/English/Aussie food stuffs.....including SA meat pies .....curried mince, curried chicken, steak and kidney, Cornish Pasties etc. You do not find these meat pies in general stores here......no pork pies etc. No bunny chow's!!!! LOL!
I have not been able to get a SINGLE American to like Marmite. They gag at the smell even and most say it's like eating beef bouillon on toast. Savages!!!!
Man, my favorite memories are when I lived in Westville, Natal......after school, homework done.....a rainy day perhaps....cold.......and I'd have the latest unread Beano, Beezer etc or one of the war comics......Battle Picture Library, War Picture Library etc etc.......and my mom or our maid Antonia, would make me Marmite on toast with some nice tea. I'd snuggle up on my bed and read and eat the snacks. I also liked Marmite on buttered ProVita.........or smoked snoek!
Good days.......best days of my life really. Out of school, into the military...into the real world. Non stop taking strain after that it seems.
Wait a minute, you mean dipping your marmite toast into your tea or coffee? ???
