Not convinced. i think it was the fact that in the Uk the fish that came to us was caught in the Irish sea, therefore it had eaten all the sewage from blackpool, then swam up the coast to Sellafield to get par boiled before being hauled ashore warts an all. YUK
i don't think i'll ever become a fish eater,no matter how any one tries to convince me
just bring me a bull, wipe its bum and singe the hairs off, perfect

Very healthy that. May you live long and prosper.

Off to do some googling on m**mite availability in France for a while.

See you tomorrow mate.

With such gourmand tastes, I'm sure you won't miss m**mite. It goes well with bull's bums though.

Not trying to convince you in the least but you cannot possibly compare a freshly caught trout from a mountain stream with what you describe above.

Thank you for the kind thought, Mr Castrian.

Five years ago I thought I had enough Marmite stockpiled for the remainder of my lifetime; for years each visitor from the UK brought a large jar and some people visited often. Then came the Young American and the horses, now the demand is insatiable. Based on the costs of products we consume it would probably be cheaper for us to live in England.

Comrades, WE MUST NOT ALLOW A M**MITE GAP!!!
Well, a kind and noble gesture to provide black gold for the neofarmers. I think as Mrs Castrian is unused to buying the stuff she may have made a rookie mistake here and looked in the jams and honey section. Canadians; otherwise known as IGA, Sobeys, Loblaws, and No Frills, keep it in the gravies, herbs and spices section.

Makes very good toast, it has a flavour that complements Marmite very nicely.

Yep - I was going to say the same thing. Can buy it here in Safeway, IGA, Superstore and Co-Op. Couldn't do without it personally

I'd be more inclined to protest against the use of "protest" as a transitive verb
