I prefer my marmalade to look and taste like Nutella
Nope sorry Cherry, that stuff is horrible. Marmite on the other hand
(and I'm fully aware this might start a war)

More of a bovril ran for drinking, takes me back to being a youngster at the football, mug of 'beef tea' on a wet, cold Saturday afternoon on the terrace.

Mmmmmm Nutella. The decadence I enjoy but rarely at a price I like. But I do love it.

Scandalously I have never ever had marmite. for some reason I think it just looks a bit too gritty but I could be completely wrong.
Aaaannnndddd I have never ever had Bovril either. Maybe I am very bad at being British..

Good to see you.
Love the new AV.I prefer my marmalade to look and taste like Nutella
I have to admit that I have been a bit turned off to Nutella once I found out it was mostly sugar and palm oil. Allia was the one who told me about it. I know she likes the Gü brand, which you guys have in the UK, but is not here yet. I have tried Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut & Almond Butter. It's good, but doesn't have the same sweetness.
I tried marmalade once, not a fan of the peel either.

Never had either of these, but had never even heard of bovril before being on an earlier iteration of this thread. I'm even worse at being British than you, NRP.

I've only used Nutella as a bait to get the rats in the rat trap.

Thank you, another bit of Klimt sparkle
Chocolate nut butter does sound rather delicious, I'll have to hunt that out after I finish the bucket of Nutella from Costco, I'm sure it will last until 2022

I have a jar of nutella that's been in the fridge for 18 months.
Coopers Oxford thick cut marmalade is my special treat
Vegemite rather than marmite
Custard cream biscuits for dunking

Yes Pol, love to dunk a custard cream. Second only to a chocolate hobnob!

I don’t know. But I gave her the tip.
Usually the exterminator use peanut butter. But my experience was that when some were killed by this smell they didn’t take the bait. I then changed it to Nutella and it worked perfect!
And yes, she named it Roland.

All this nattering about food...
- Nutella: nasty stuff though at a festival I was given some churros with a little pot of Nutella to dip them in...very nice (though it was probably because I was so hungry)
- Marmalade: the peel is what makes it marmalade (surely?) - otherwise it's just jam
- Vegemite: Marmite is to Vegemite what Liberace is/was to Bobby Crush...a feeble imitation
- Dunking custard creams: Have you no self respect?
Now, to throw food lovers a curve ball (and as much as American cheese, by-and-large, is crap) one of my favourite 'arrived yesterday' breakfasts when visiting the US was wholemeal toast & grits with cheese and bacon and loads of black pepper.
Grits?! Ghastly. Next you'll be telling us you enjoyed tapioca and semolina at school...

Now I don't want to ignite the Marmite/Vegemite wars here (although there's a clear winner and it isn't Vegemite
) but you can't imitate something when you were invented first... Marmite 1902, Vegemite 1922.

Frogspawn and cement when served at school. Semolina if left in the dish used to set hard when cold. Needed a hammer and chisel to break it.
The only time I ever had marmite was as a preteen when I used to get sent off on cycling youth hostel holiday groups. Marmite sandwiches was the staple packed lunch.

I have always said I am a truly terrible Brit at times. I rarely drink, I hate the taste of whisky, I do not like Bovril or Marmite, Sausage is alright and no-one can tell which part of the UK I am from when they hear me most of the time. On the flipside, I do like Haggis..
Custard creams are the secretly most underrated biscuit ever. It never gets the love it deserves.

I was also thinking that about the Nutella. I dont know how long it will take to soften that bad boy.

I hate to say it Nick but I am 1 for 4 on those points. Nutella is great, I think you can have rindless marmalade, the vegimite one I will give you but custard creams can be drowned (sorry, dunked) in anything.

I will have the grab bag of maltesers thanks. Wonder how many I can fit in my mouth in one go...

Yes, we indulgers know the problem with refrigerated chocolate spread. It's not spreadable or lickable, it's almost a crime

Couple of seconds in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water solves that issue.

Got to take issue there. Plain chocolate digestives are almost an afterthought on most supermarket shelves, but so, so good. Custard creams I can take or leave. Mostly the latter

Tesco do chocolate Rich Tea's, they're very dunkable too but they get messy quickly
