sarsar 824 Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks, Cathy. I don't know why I didn't think of looking it up. I found some on Amazon, I may have to buy some to see what it tastes like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Georgia 2,908 Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks, Cathy. I don't know why I didn't think of looking it up. I found some on Amazon, I may have to buy some to see what it tastes like. Is it similar to our Heinz 57 sauce, do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swizzly 901 Posted February 1, 2014 Oh I don't know, Georgia, good question. I haven't had Heinz 57 in a looong time, but I'm guessing yes. It most reminds me of a milder/sweeter A-1 sauce. I hate marmite and Vegemite too, but Aussies swear they are totally different substances lol. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feedyoureye 3,087 Posted February 1, 2014 I like Vegemite, but hate Marmite... go figure. My hubby is from NZ and if there is Vegemite in the house , he eats it up before I get a spoonfull. Acquired taste for sure.... Reckon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coops 1,790 Posted February 2, 2014 Dee, pants -hahahaaa - it is the little things that make me smile! Oh and yes, rubber v eraser... that is another great one. Dialect varies so much here too - I love different British accents. I have a welsh accent; more like a lilt really... but I love a thick South Wales accents - North Wales have a different tang to their accent, it is very nasal... my son does an amazing North Welsh accent .. lol... actually he follow me in that department we both love to do accents. In school it comes in very handy; often the kids ask me to do different accents for a laugh! Oh, and I hate that bloody programme Shameless - I watched 5 mins of it and quickly turned it over... yuk!! I gotta admit, I absolutely lurve Marmite - delish on toast! Never had Vegemite though! My daughter has a cooking assessment/test on Wednesday so she has been doing a dry run... OMG! Her cooking is soooo good. I am absolutely stuffed to the point of pain! I hope she does well on Wednesday as she has worked so hard on preparing this food. I am definitely gonna have to fast tomo! 2 Ms skinniness and swizzly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK Cathy 977 Posted February 2, 2014 Coops, you feeling better then? There is so much going round - on Friday I felt so cold while we were out really chilled to the bones and I had to come home and get under the duvet with a hot water bottle. I could not get warm. Saturday felt fine and today I have sneezed my head off and now throat feels rough. We need a good dose of cold weather to kill all these germs! Off to Wales in 2 weeks time - booked it yesterday for half term - going to Saundersfoot and taking the dog too so there should be plenty of walking. I have to admit that I have not exercised for 10 days, I have just not felt up to it. My trainer comes Wednesday and I feel I have wasted the last session (she only comes once a fortnight) so I had better get on and do something tomorrow and Tuesday. I can't say I love exercising but I have been doing it regularly until now. I will give myself a kick up the backside or one of you guys can kindly do it. 3 coops, Ms skinniness and sarsar reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarsar 824 Posted February 2, 2014 Idk what marmite or vegemite is. I will have to look that up. Sheila and Kelly, have fun at your parties today! Georgia, I think the brown sauce looks like A1 to me. I think I'm going to try some. Sue and Cathy, how far do you live from each other? Denise, so is the ex still staying at Bill's house 3 days a week? What happened with that situation? 1 M2G reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK Cathy 977 Posted February 2, 2014 Sarah, I think we are about 1 hr to 1 1/2 hr from each other. Sue has promised to come shopping with me when I hit goal and we will meet in Cardiff which is supposed to be a really good shopping place and it is not far from her. I just have to lose those lbs now. 1 coops reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
