Speciaal voor Peter (en eventueel ook nog anderen):

Zoete drop, zoute drop of geen van beide?


  • Zoete drop natuurlijk. (Waarschijnlijk Engelse drop).

  • Zoute drop! Geef mij maar salmiakjes!

  • Getttverrrrderrre!!!

Persoonlijk vind ik honingdrop meer dan smerig, maar dat kan aan mij liggen.

We all know where Google Translate is, you know!

As far as the original question goes:

I'll eat either on bread or drink either hot. Just never thought of it for years.  :-\

Good! How did you like your 'Not the faintest idea what's he's on about' moment on this otherwise very informative forum?  :d

 You wouldn't want to put honey on either Marmite or Bovril, believe me, Olds.  :-& :-& :-&

Red currant jelly with mayonnaise makes nice sarnies......
And has ANYONE here ever eaten banana and Branston pickle sarnies ?
They sound disgusting !

No she would taste of something even worse, but also brown.

Marmite every time...but only on cheese in a sarnie or on toast. Tried Bovril once at a football match back in the day...now I know what snozzcumber tastes like, absolutekly disgusterous!

Actually, while on the subject of strange fillings, anyone ever tried cheese and peanut butter -crunchy of course- in a sarnie?

My stepfather was prone to smearing jam on one half of a slice of bread, golden syrup on the other and then folding the two together....  :o

... and then?

Was it just a hobby? Was his house filled with discarded and inedibly sweet butties? Did he use them as poltices for sores on horses? Did he feed to result to starving waifs and orphans and giggle malevolently as their teeth fell out? Was it something of a more ... personal preference?  :-&

Oh, he ate them, of course. Probably explains the ruins of his teeth. Mind you, at ninety I suppose he's entitled to be a bit worn.

Vegemite is my breakfast favourite on toasty soldiers dipped in soft-boiled egg.....

Has anyone ever tasted both Vegemite and Marmite ? (Not together, I hasten to add.) ;)
Are they very similar taste wise ?
Seem to remember 'someone' has said they're almost identical.

Marmite for me, although if given a choice I'd go for Vegemite, it's got a nicer taste to it.

Once saw a bloke at work spread Marmite quite thickly on some toast. He'd never had it before. I told him not to but would he listen? He hasn't eaten it since  :d
