he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich--what is it ??

[droopyJ]

Marmite???? It's a beef extract kinda spread..... People either love it or hate it, it has a distinctive taste..... I lurve it 😍😍😍

[madametobacco49 in reply to droopyJ]

wow--do people eat it like spam here?? I don't eat beef or pork so that leaves me out

[droopyJ in reply to madametobacco49]

Spread it like peanut butter......???

That song was no 1 in the charts when I was 18 😊

[madametobacco49 in reply to droopyJ]

its a good song---love the flute

[Andrew-S in reply to droopyJ]

No vegemite as in "good day mate fancy a vegemite sandwich on the beach at yabbie creek" 👀

[droopyJ in reply to Andrew-S]

Isn't vegitmite the same as marmite??????????

[Andrew-S in reply to droopyJ]

No....

Chowhound user coolbean98 recently conducted a careful, sincere, but admittedly completely unscientific blind taste test of Vegemite and Marmite, finding the Marmite to be more meaty-umami and smoky, with a more rounded flavor than Vegemite, and pleasantly reminiscent of beef bouillon. But on toast, coolbean98 prefers the lighter, saltier taste of Vegemite.

So there u go lol 👀

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER in reply to droopyJ]

Vegimite and marmite are very much the same thing, vegimite is not quite as strong as marmite.

IN NZ we use marmite in Aussie, vegimite is the preferred. I send marmite to my son in USA, as there is nothing like it there.

He married an American girl, and she too loves it 😀😀

[Andrew-S in reply to glolin]

Ok yes there might certain similarities did u like my Australian? 😀

[madametobacco49 in reply to Andrew-S]

yes more interesting then our talk--more elegant or something

[droopyJ in reply to glolin]

I never saw marmite in NZ 🙁 Well you are definitely best placed to discuss the merits of both marmite and vegimite glolin 😊😊

[madametobacco49 in reply to Andrew-S]

that is lovely--bet you think we sound boring here --we have skunk creek by me not yabbie

[Andrew-S]

The land of down under... Australia 👀

[madametobacco49 in reply to Andrew-S]

you live there?? My friends bf was from there and he took her over there and she couldn't get over how your canned food didn't have all the chemicals in it we do here--they just had a thing on tv about how they are putting caffeine in everything--20000 people have went to hospital this year from caffeine--I cant have a drop of it

[Andrew-S in reply to madametobacco49]

No I live in the uk, but always thought about moving down under would love to (Linda's now moving back to NZ!) 🙊😂

[madametobacco49 in reply to Andrew-S]

Id like to be anywhere but here

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER in reply to Andrew-S]

Love Aussie, but NZ does keep calling me 😀😀

[madametobacco49 in reply to Andrew-S]

[Andrew-S in reply to madametobacco49]

It is a town in the uk not as sunny as the beach in the video 👀

[madametobacco49 in reply to Andrew-S]

interesting name

[droopyJ]

Hadn't heard that in years.... Thanks Andrew 😊

[Andrew-S]

Linda has to pop up to adjudicate if marmite is vegimite before it gets out of hand lol 😂👀

[droopyJ in reply to Andrew-S]

Actually quitterpaul may be a better bet, I'm sure Paul came from Leicester before he moved to Australia.... He may have tried both....!!!!!!😉

[Andrew-S in reply to droopyJ]

Ooo I'm going to ask him how he did it 👀😂

[droopyJ in reply to Andrew-S]

What move to Australia or try vegimite and marmite?????

[Andrew-S in reply to droopyJ]

Move to Australia 🙊

[droopyJ in reply to Andrew-S]

This flippin notification glitch is driving me nuts, can't believe that they haven't sorted it yet😢😢😢

[Andrew-S in reply to droopyJ]

I know it's very annoying u can only check responses by seeing if someone responded when they liked. There could be loads of messages for us that we not seen. Especially the way these conversations go all over the place. 👀

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER in reply to droopyJ]

Marmite is a lot stronger than vegimite. Marmite is the most popular in New Zealand but vegimite is the one of choice in Australia. Much of muchness though 👍👍

[Quitterpaul 9yearsSmokefree in reply to droopyJ]

Haha yes, I live in Bundaberg Qld, but originally from Leicester. We're split in this house. I prefer Vegemite but my wife prefers marmite.

The girls aren't too keen on Vegemite but have never tried marmite.

[NgaireM]

Hi, I am from Australia and I have tried both. (Vegemite being my preferred flavour - a yeast extract I believe)

I have seen the news on TV about US eastern coast weather - looks horrible and thankfully we don't get snow like that.

Ngaire xx

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER in reply to NgaireM]

I prefer vegimite to marmite - gotta love a cheese and vegimite sanga 😀👍😀

[Hidden in reply to NgaireM]

Hi Ngaire,

Yes the storm is frightening in the east.... I'm glad where I live the weather is safe...

[Hidden]

[droopyJ in reply to Hidden]

[madametobacco49 in reply to monky]

I am vitamin deficient I found out tooo so that may be a contributor

[Andrew-S in reply to madametobacco49]

I just watched Home Alone 2 Lost in New York lol. Still stuffed from Sunday dinner.

Yes I liked the tiny kitten picture hope u feeling a bit better 😎😂👀™

[madametobacco49 in reply to Andrew-S]

Ive never seen that movie--but remember Home Alone--What did you prepare for dinner--? sounds like it was filling--lol Yes that kitten picture is toocute--Im better stomach wise--ate sum custard which I love --im vitamin b-12 deficient so that may be making me feel icky too--seems I take the vitamins and they make me sick--such a dillema

[Andrew-S in reply to madametobacco49]

I had roast chicken mash potatoe mashed carrot and swede cauliflower and broccoli and a cheese sauce. Then apple pie and custard. Very nice. Hope u are feeling better what delights have u had today? 😀👀🚭

[madametobacco49 in reply to Andrew-S]

wow what a fine dining experience you had--gol---leeee==I just had my eggs as I said this am and then custard with whip cream --Im making a cowgirl griller now--sounds dumb huh?? This is cowboy and indian country (south Dakota)Custers last stand ie Battle of Little Big Horn happened here at Wounded Knee S.D so they use a lot of western terms here even for food--Im not a cowgirl--ugh hate them clothes--anyway a cowgirl griller is a pounded chicken breast filled with 3 kinds of cheeses mushrooms and green peppers---wrapped in bacon --I dont eat pork or beef as I told you but let it cook on there to add flavor--sure like to make a buncha fried taters in butter with onion--but wont--Just took a big mouthful of vitamins--I have to take oral b-12 and D=-or may have to have shots--Im so glad they found it--Ive been feeling like wiped out for so long and then trying to quit smoking--so maybe the withdrawal will let up--I think I crave eggs cuz they are loaded with B vitamins--Last nite I had a big bowl of tuna salad--mmm that was good--we sure sound like a couple foodies--sounds like your a good cook

[Andrew-S in reply to madametobacco49]

Wow your cow girl griller sounds delicious. Iv only had one meal today and I'm still feeling full so that's good.

Just watched the second best exotic marigold hotel on illegal website. I love those two films after ignoring the first one for ages thinking it would be Rubbish.

Off to bed now it is approaching 2am here in uk. Hope your vitamins are doing the trick and perking you up. 😎😂👀

[madametobacco49]

sleep well and have a good day tomorrow--you must be 7 or 8 hours ahead of me...Have to checkout marigold movies--rented first one once and never watched it xx
