okay ruby and estela, i will accept your offers of shipping the goods so as to ensure we are tasting the proper variety of product. i do not want to risk spoiling the results with an inferior brand or shoddy imposter.
jergins, help me think what to send in return that they can't get in their respective home countries.
― lxy, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:02 (sixteen years ago) link
hamburger helper. i guarantee they don't sell that nywhere outside of North America. or beefaroni.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:04 (sixteen years ago) link
i've just read up on both products and i think i will like both of them.
― lxy, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:09 (sixteen years ago) link
i am not sending hamburger helper or beefaroni, by the way.
tbbh you will like Vegemite better.
― wilter, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Also you guys mustn't let the fact that NZ is probably better than Aus, in general, sway you.
― wilter, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:11 (sixteen years ago) link
vegemite is more mellow, marmite is sharper.
i haven't actually tried the britishes version of marmite but i'm still willing to bet it is the inferior product.
― Rubyredd, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i will try to remember to post you some tomorrow, lxy
― Rubyredd, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:18 (sixteen years ago) link
i will follow the lxy lead and accept shipment as well
― John Justen, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:18 (sixteen years ago) link
yay, i can't wait to send vegemite off to be crowned winner, send your addresses!
― estela, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:20 (sixteen years ago) link
If you haven't had British marmite how do you know it's different? Maybe marmite is always THE SAME. It could be the elusive universal truth.

― John Justen, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:31 (sixteen years ago) link

ok i have your address already lxy, and now i jj's address. i just have to remember to post tomorrow.
estela, DON'T BE COUNTING YOUR CHOCOLATE EGGS BEFORE THEY HATCH.
ALSO: I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A BLIND TEST i.e. when you receive your antipodean products, you must get someone to put them both on toast and not tell you which is which, and then taste. in the spirit of fairness and impartiality.
― Rubyredd, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:32 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm not putting toast in my drink
― John Justen, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:33 (sixteen years ago) link

not many, but still
The line has been drawn and it has been drawn at TOAST

― wilter, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:37 (sixteen years ago) link
i am starting to fear that we are speaking a language that shares much of its lexicon with english but is in fact, full of wacky made up words like SAO

Can I send everyone concerned some Bovril so you all stop eating yr ridiculous thrush pastes and gets some meaty goodness* inside you instead?
*I understand there's no meat in it any more so vegetarians, your lifestyle choice need not be compromised!

Okay, wikipedia tells me they have re-stated beef in the recipe. Will this be a problem?
― Mark C, Thursday, 3 April 2008 19:02 (sixteen years ago) link
reINstated, gah
Hang on what the fuck?

thank you mark c., verynice! i will pass on the beef-bovril but jergins / lingerbert / remy might like to add that to the contest. one of y'all should speak up if you would like to accept this offer.
(i am developing a theory that eating this type of ...stuff... makes people GENEROUS!)
― lxy, Thursday, 3 April 2008 19:31 (sixteen years ago) link
see i told you the britishes version was all different.

THANK YOU, JORDAN, FOR YOUR DECIDING VOTE. THAT IS WHY I LOVE YOU.
i think seeing ruby's joy makes all of us winners.

conditional love granted as exchange for a false testimony makes nobody a winner, lxy.
