I don't like Marmite but I love Vegemite! I think they're supposed to taste the same but they don't, vegemite isn't as strong (at least I don't think so). I'm glad they sell vegemite over there, I need it!

S&V crisp sandwich!!! mmmmm :thumbup:

Guess what I'm having for lunch today? haha

Mmmmmmm I LOVE crisp sarnies!

Cheese, marmite and salt and vinegar crisps were my favorite. Haven't had one in ages though!

Tonight we are having homemade pumpkin and ricotta gnocchi with a butter and sage sauce.

That sounds marvellous.
Never had a go at making pasta or gnocchi but if I was going to, that would be my choice.

I have used my own home-grown sage to make the butter for shop made pasta before, so maybe I could do the rest!

I ate crisp sandwiches sometimes when I was apart from my OH during our FSW 2 process.
Very comforting.:)
Has to be thick sliced white bread, real butter and cheese and onion or ready salted crisps for me.:thumbsup:

You've got to love Canada, having steak in the middle of the week, how posh is that? Having it with chips and peas. :thumbup:

Instant advancement through the social structure to "posh" - as long as you are pairing that with Aioli and not red sauce, of course:p.

Maple mustard marinated pork steaks for me, with baked potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.

I have also made some fresh lemon curd this afternoon, so might have a slice of bread with that on after with a cup of tea:thumbsup:

I don't like the sound of that alioli stuff yuck and red sauce with steak is awfully gauche, one should only use brown sauce don't you know..

Upper middle class is as far as that gets you.;)

Is it AAA grade steak?
Not that I know what that means - I have had some awful steak here that is supposedly AAA and some very nice stuff that isn't graded at all:confused:.

I am still looking for steak out here as tender and flavoursome as I used to get from my friend who had a farm in the Derbyshire hills.
I never really went for steak until I had sirloin from there.
