MARMITE RULZ AND VEGEMITE SUX SHIT

your eyes look puffy.

(i said that in a concerned tone, not in a 'next i'm going to pull your hair' tone, i don't even have such a tone.)

FUCK THIS

unhappy little vegemites

so basically anything edible that people want to send me, i will put it in a drink, fyi

ruby, i'm sorry our friendship got a yeast infection, please know i <3 you even more than vegemite.

THE END

(until the verdicts come in.)

ADDENDUM:

Australians in Hong Kong are finding expatriate life harder to cope with due to a shortage of one of their favourite foods - Vegemite, a news report said on Sunday.

Supplies of the popular spread have run out across the city of 6.9 million, where tens of thousands of Australian expatriate business people, diplomats and their families live.

Many families unable to do without Vegemite as a way of starting their day have resorted to getting relatives to bring in supplies when they come on visits, the Sunday Morning Post newspaper reported.

Schoolboy David Atkins, who attends the Australian International School, told the newspaper he was miserable after going for three weeks without his favourite spread.

"We have some now because Auntie Karen brought some up from Sydney, and they have plenty of Vegemite there," he said.

A spokeswoman for one of Hong Kong's two main supermarket chains Wellcome said suppliers had blamed the shortage on a change of the company that packages Vegemite for export in Australia.

But a spokesman for Vegemite's manufacturer Kraft told the newspaper the explanation seemed unlikely and promised: "Rest assured we will work to ensure Vegemite is back in Hong Kong as soon as possible."

British-made yeast extract Marmite, which looks similar to Vegemite but has a different taste, is still available in Hong Kong but many Australians refuse to accept it as a substitute.

damn straight

"We have some now because Auntie Karen brought some up from Sydney...

well that couldn't be cuter.

and thx ruby for posting

^^Sarcasm..

jesus, that's confusing, isn't it?

posting posting posting posting

thanks ruby for posting the marmite, thanks estela for posting the quote.

better?

nononono. It was a lame lame joke suggesting you should not be thankful for someone posting u marmite. u_u.

Carry on.

had i seen this, i would've voted marmite

Would you now.

Be real, son!!!

It's ok, we can just say that one of Rubyredd's many, many votes was one for you, rox.

HAHAH YES

i voted on your behalf, roxy

one of y'all should speak up if you would like to accept this offer.
I ACCEPT

"YEAST EXTRACT" SOUNDS FUCKING DELIGHTFUL IF ANYTHING DOES

i only sent a small 125g jar of marmite to lxy and jj because that shit is expensive to post from halfway round the world, if it turns out you all hate it.

if, otoh, you all really like it, then i would be willing to send more. because that's the kind of girl i am.

heart u

when i come visit seattle we shall sit on lxy and jergz's porch and eat marmite on toast and drink the milo that i will have also brought with me and listen to golden-oldie pumpkin songs. it will be great.

i haven't mailed the vegemite yet but i am on it.

ha i had never really listened to a smashing pumpkins album until like a week ago. i was at my mom's and my brother had left behind a bunch of his old cds that he didn't want anymore. i took the best of barrington levy (a cd i had bought him for christmas several years ago, the little prick); mos def- the new danger; smashing pumpkins - mellon collie and siamese dream. mos def sounds pretty bad after a listen. mellon collie has some pretty good stuff though. didn't realize how many singles came off of that one. haven't listened to siamese dream yet.

estela i would've figured you to be more prompt, less tardy with your affairs. i guess i was wrong.

yes, totally wrong, i am a shambles.

You have such an adorable, cheery way of shambling! :-)

looool

Thankyou, Lingbert. :-)

update: today i purchased two small jars of vegemite.

Did anyone want me to send Bovril? No? ;_;

i don't know what bovril is but i'll eat it

send it to lxy

Okay - webmail me address lxy!

(isn't lxy a vgtrn?)

marc c,

we've got some YES for BOVRIL! i shall webmail you?

(yes - how you know that is a mystery to me - but the boys are not.)

thank you ALL for assisting with this international collaboration of taste-testing. it is very exciting.

that c. how? kkkkkkk

i'll drink anything so sure

webmail sent

webmail sent and thanks again!

Got both yr webmails! Thank you and I will buy some bovril as soon as I don't forget to buy some bovril (anyone with a memory like mine will understand exactly what I mean).

John and Jergins, you must both a) drink bovril as per insructions and b) eat bovril on white bread toast with butter/spread of your choice. I strongly advice smearing less bovril on than you might think - if it's opaque, there's too much and it gets overpowering.

lxy, when I mentioned it had meat in it you said you wouldn't eat it, so I donned my putting two and two together hat and deduced your Vegetarianity. No stalking involved :)

Hang on, was it jergins who was going to eat my beef paste? Or lingbert? Which one is lxy's boyfriend?

lol, mark. obviously you missed the UNNECESSARILY EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION on this topic in other threads. no boyfriends, just boys.

the tasting committee will be comprised of:

jergins, lingbert, remy and me. bovril is for boys only, though.

:)

"lxys boyfriend" is not a person, it is a FEELING

uhh.

Should I send remy a jar too? (I know you don't like me remy but I'm sorry I've been a cock to you and I'd like to partly make up for it by sending you delicious steaming goodness if you'd like some)

lxy, that EXTENSIVE THREAD was got me hooked on ITR in the first place :)

I have never had Vegemite, but I love Marmite. Someone send me a jar and I will tell you if it stinks or not.

if we keep this up, i think these food donations may get the american economy back on track

I could use a thing of ketchup while we're at it.

mark c.,

i roped remy into our tasting party since he's coming to sea-wa.

so: i am planning to share all of the varieties with him.

of course if he wants his own "amends" jar, he will probably pipe up when he gets to a computer.

roxymuzak,

LOL!
