Just seen this, which beautifully highlights how weird we are.

Worth the click, it is quite amusing!
 
That's me, every single one of them!
 
I always wondered why I refused to call myself British, now I know.
I'm English.(y)

Here in the U.S., if you make a mistake and have Twinnings Earl Gray, it's a good thing. We don't seem to have Marmite though. I'd like to try it sometime, guess I could get some off Amazon.

For tea: Second flush Darjeeling is where it's at. From a pot, lose leaf as well, none of that tea bag business.

And a custard cream or three.

You can normally get it in World Foods or World Market (if you have them in Michigan). Be prepared to pay for it though, it's about 3 times the price here than in the UK :)

Surprise me. If you want some i'll sent it surface mail. Might take a while to get there. Just don't bitch when you try it and realise it is evil and foul. Pm me an address and i will gladly post to you. Anything to get marmite out of the UK. !!!

I'll be looking out for the news reports that the US is seeking the extradition of an Englishman over the attempted import of prohibited meat by-products :D
 
People being rude about Marmite :bat:

Mods need to close this thread now!

Brown bread toast, thick layer of real butter, thin layer of Marmite, topped with lashings of crunchy peanut butter. Food of the gods.

Marmite isn't meaty!

Ha! :eek: In all my years on this planet I assumed it was a beef extract! I now see that the phrase "100% vegetarian" on the Marmite label doesn't refer to its contents :LOL:

There must be a word for that feeling you get when something you've genuinely believed for years turns out to be wrong (and it's not ****).

Of course, this does mean there is now little chance of Lynton's extradition :naughty:
