I prefer Marmite over Vegemite... cheese  marmite sandwiches are good.

Re: OT-Totally OT but... so what?

[Dr E D F Williams]

My built in dictionary (result of many many years in US hotels, and other
public and private places) tells me:

Key: USA=UK and colonies

'Subway'=underground or tube; 'elevator'=lift; 'jelly'=jam; 'jello'=jelly;
'cookie'=biscuit; 'biscuit'=flapjack or thick small pancake; 'candy'=sweet;
'soda'=any kind of aerated drink; 'coke'=coke; 'short stack'=small pile of
thick pancakes for breakfast; 'over easy'=egg turned over in the pan for a
short time; 'over'=egg fried on both sides; 'up'=fried egg not turned over;
'fanny'=backside, bottom or rump; and so on ...

And 'toast' in a Holiday Inn is a slice of warmed white bread with the
crusts removed, buttered and served inside a folded napkin.  It becomes a
slightly glutinous soft mess that is only fit to be used as compost. But the
coffee, made with the addition of a pinch of salt, is some of the best I've
ever come across.

And the finest early morning US breakfast I've ever had, was eaten in the
company of my wife and small daughter in a pancake house in Disney Land (LA)
in the summer of 1990. Incredibly good. I can also tell you where to find
the finest clam chowder and other sea-food in San Francisco.

And Marmite is far superior in every respect to Vegemite.

I don't think it was Molenburg.. didn't sound so classy. I've run out so I
can't check- Pity cos I REALLY feel like some melted cheese on toast.. Good
to hear we've got a representative for this side of the world at GFM Tan!
How exciting is that! And remember, being an ambassador, you want to make a
good impression. Please please don't bring the vegemite!! What ever happened
to the good ol days of non-returning boomerangs and clippable koalas!

  I've lately been having some kind of supermarket blue and yellow
packaged
  multigrain. It's not too bad- sorta like a median between white and
brown,
  and adds texture to the sandwich. But I still love white now and then
  though. No actually I didn't know what rubbish is in white bread.. bread
  bleach? And yay for your daughter! There is some sanity in that family

 Okay, are we into strange (= different) food now?

 My mother used to make sandwiches out of thick sliced homemade bread,
 slathered with homemade butter and liberally sprinkled with sugar.
 Sometimes brown sugar, with lumps in it. . .
 Back then, altho' I didn't really know it, we were as poor as church
 mice (height of the depression) and I got a lot of inventive meals.
 Like you, I just thought all Ohio country boys ate that way.
 I'd go to school and trade with classmates who (poor kids!) had

 Both of us felt we got a treat!
 And we did! Her mom wouldn't let her eat that way, had she known, and my

Anyone with no prior vegemite experience, here's a heads up. It's
disgusting! Plus it strips some lining in the throat if taken in excessive
quantities. But the taste's enough to keep me away.. Tanya, I've tried but I
just don't see it!! ;) As far as s/w's go, I like the plain ham cheese avo,

We call jelly, jelly, and jam, jam though some of the manufactures now call jam, 
preserves. Funny thing happened the other day, I bought some preserves that had 
chunks of fruit in it. Amazing.

When I was five or so, I had a friend who's mom made mayo sandwichs. Two slices 
of white bread with with the thinest possible layer of may between them. Had 
another that liked PB and mustard sandwichs.

I had a couple of sandwichs for dinner tonight. Roast beef and mozzarella cheese 
with spicy mustard on Greek bread. How's that for weird?

Re: OT-Totally OT but...

[Tanya Mayer Photography]

see, Shel, the way i always understood it is that what you guys call jello
is what we in Oz call jelly, so if someone says pb and j sandwich, that
to me is peanut butter and flavoured gelatine (you know, the stuff that you
put in a mould and wobbles on the plate, not an ounce of fruit in sight)!
jam/preserves always have fruit in them don't they, and that is what we
generally eat on toast?  at least in australia they do - which leaves me
with one question, if what we call jam/preserves is just that, and what you
call jello is what we call jelly, then what the heck is the stuff that
YOU call jelly?!? lol...

tan.  (who yes, sometimes DOES think and talk like a typical bloody

 We call jelly, jelly, and jam, jam though some of the manufactures now
call jam,
 preserves. Funny thing happened the other day, I bought some preserves
that had
 chunks of fruit in it. Amazing.

 When I was five or so, I had a friend who's mom made mayo sandwichs. Two
slices
 of white bread with with the thinest possible layer of may between them.
Had
 another that liked PB and mustard sandwichs.

 I had a couple of sandwichs for dinner tonight. Roast beef and mozzarella
cheese
 with spicy mustard on Greek bread. How's that for weird?

 My mother used to make sandwiches out of thick sliced homemade bread,
 slathered with homemade butter and liberally sprinkled with sugar.
 Sometimes brown sugar, with lumps in it. . .
 Back then, altho' I didn't really know it, we were as poor as church
 mice (height of the depression) and I got a lot of inventive meals.
 Like you, I just thought all Ohio country boys ate that way.
 I'd go to school and trade with classmates who (poor kids!) had
 home-cured pork and mayo sandwiches.
 Both of us felt we got a treat!
 And we did! Her mom wouldn't let her eat that way, had she known, and my
 folks didn't have the money to get the pork.

 Wow, someone else who doesn't think pbm is gross. My mom made these

 She would draw little messages in the mayo which I would look for as a

ROFLOL!!

That is too funny Rob, and TOO TRUE!! I had an American Exchange student
stay with me once, and call out to me to ask what there was to put on toast,
I suggested vegemite, and she came out making faces just about choking on
it!  wasn't until i looked at her toast to see why - the whole piece was
black!! i just about killed myself laughing... it certainly is an acquired
taste, BUT there IS technique to be considered here - the best way to eat it
is on LIGHT toast (freshest, whitest bread available), with LOADS of melted
butter/marg, topped with the LIGHTEST scrape of vegemite...yummmo, gonna go
and make some now in fact... (have to hide the white bread though, as i let
my kids eat wholemeal/multigrain and they'll all attack me if they see the
white stuff!)

Actually Tan, we was on this same topic with an American friend the other
day! What the heck is jelly- It's called jam! Rove!!
http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/questions/americanbritish.html
Here's a list if anyone feels curious.. The one that I last remember
encountering was Sylvia Plath writing about her experience in Benidorm,
Spain and was something  like what is an aubergine? I think it's an
eggplant.. before proceeding to do an eggplant recipe substituting
aubergines into it..

 see, Shel, the way i always understood it is that what you guys call
jello
 is what we in Oz call jelly, so if someone says pb and j sandwich,
that
 to me is peanut butter and flavoured gelatine (you know, the stuff that
you
 put in a mould and wobbles on the plate, not an ounce of fruit in sight)!
 jam/preserves always have fruit in them don't they, and that is what we
 generally eat on toast?  at least in australia they do - which leaves me
 with one question, if what we call jam/preserves is just that, and what
you
 call jello is what we call jelly, then what the heck is the stuff that
 YOU call jelly?!? lol...

Jelly = gelatinized fruit juice.
Jam = gelatinized pureed fruit.
Preserves = gelatinized fruit.
Jello = a name brand for kid stuff (gelatinzed Kool Aid?).
