I'm not kidding. My mother and father liked them. My mother would spread the sheep's brain on a sandwich. A throw back to the war when they used to eat what was available. Pigs feet too. As for Marmite, its a salty, yeasty spread with lots of B vitamins. The catchphrase is that you either love it or hate it. And its actually true. If you ever visit the UK give it a try. Along with Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate (the only REAL chocolate) and proper fish and chips, not the silly little fries you're used to, these guys are fat and greasy and accompanied by a big battered cod. Add salt and vinegar, it's compulsory. Edited February 28, 20224 yr by martin-w
February 28, 20224 yr Author Oh, Martin, I've had fries that big at restaurants with rare steaks as opposed to deep fried fish. What you call 'silly little fries' are pretty good too with hamburgers.

February 28, 20224 yr Administrators Marmite reminds me of beef soup-bone marrow. We use to scoop it out and spread on bread with a little salt and pepper. You either like it or not!

Then I think you’d like marmite, I find it’s particularly nice with burnt black toast , very savoury.

March 1, 20224 yr Martin those look like what we call steak fries. A much different critter from the normal skinny fry. A lot tastier too, in my opinion. Ooh, Cadbury's chocolate. Ooh, ooh, ooh my. Gotta jump on Amazon and find some. Edited March 1, 20224 yr by Penzoil3
March 1, 20224 yr Just ordered a 14 pak of Cadbury's bars. It's all your fault Martin. Haven't had one in years. I'd forgotten how good they are until you mentioned it. Thanks Sue

Anybody that appreciates Cadburys Dairy Milk is a very advanced human being. GOLD CAT POINT X1 😸 Dairy Milk?? Is that like Hershey's milk chocolate? Best chocolate I ever had was in France. I think about 85% cacao and just enough sugar to make it edible. Milk chocolate is for kids....No offense, Sue! Uh, oh! Standby for disappointment, Sue! Don't hit me! 😳 People also ask Is Cadbury Dairy Milk Available in USA? The Cadbury Dairy Milk bar that you'll find in the US today tastes almost nothing like its British counterpart, and there are different explanations for this. The New York Times reported in 2015 that the British version of Cadbury has a higher fat content, as its main ingredient is milk.Jun 1, 2018 Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.

Quote The Cadbury Dairy Milk bar that you'll find in the US today tastes almost nothing like its British counterpart, My god that's absolute sacrilege. Hopefully Sue is importing some from its birthplace. Used to live an hour from the factory in Bournville. Interesting place, they tell you all about the history of chocolate and give you free bars. https://www.cadburyworld.co.uk/en Edited March 1, 20224 yr by martin-w
March 1, 20224 yr I would also highly recommend, if you're in my neck of the woods, that you nip across on the ferry (40 mins) to the little island of Sark. No cars there, just bikes or walk. Take a walk toward "Little Sark" and stop off at Caragh Chocolate. https://www.caraghchocolates.com/ Just as good as Cadburys, some might say better. All hand made and delicious. Available to order too.
