Well That Certainly Seems Appropriate...

[loCAtek]

Off topic, but you're dealing with me now right? So, that's not any less LOL*.

I can't care about what's not happening, 'eh? Can you show me this egging?


*Maybe even more since you're willing to hijack a thread to do the dealing.

[Sean]

Hijacked? Yeah right... This diversion is definitely not the result of your ridiculous claims about MSG is it?

As far as dealing with you now goes I posted that I was taking you off ignore (for now) over here.

You still haven't addressed me in that thread you cowardly fuck and if you want to make unsubstantiated and potentially damaging claims about members here then I reserve the right to bring it up whenever I feel the urge.

You crossed a line there. Don't expect it to be swept under the table.

[Lord Jim]

Okay, I I'm reluctantly going to ask a question here....

Sean, I agree that LoCa's comments in that case were uncalled for, and over the line....

But that having been said, if they are "potentially damaging" is it really a good idea to be repeatedly bringing them back up to public attention?

Just askin'.....

[Sean]

That's a fair point Jim.

I would be more than open to hearing other ways of dealing with it but I will not be heeding the usual chorus of "Just ignore it". She's gone too far this time and it needs to be addressed.

ETA: She cannot claim ignorance as to which thread I am talking about now so I won't link to it again.

[The Hen]

Her statement in that thread comes back to her bitterness and jealousy concerning the Gob and myself.

Until she is able to find peace with herself she will always make such ridiculous and tainted claims. it is in her nature.

I don't expect that will change at any time soon.

I predict that 2012 will be a continuation of such behaviors from her on this Board.

[loCAtek]

Wow, just disagree with folks about Marmite, and look what happens.

[The Hen]

Yup. Imagine that.

[Joe Guy]

Okay, after reading all of this, I'm ready to try Marmite.

How do I get it here in the U.S. at a decent price? I did some searches and found 125g at Britishdotcom for $5.69, but it said 'best by December 2011.' Does that mean you only get a good price if it's about to expire?

And if the marmite has passed the expiration date, how would I know the difference flavor-wise?

Anyway, if someone can advise me as to a good place to buy it (in a small amount), once I get a chance to taste it, I'll report back on my experience.

Hi Joe

This site does international pricing and delivery on the little dinky single portions of Marmite.

Good on ya Joe!

Remember though, just a scraping is enough on your toast.

Don't do as some American friends of mine did... they decided that didn't like it after sampling a spoonful each straight from the jar!

[BoSoxGal]

I'm waiting to try the stuff until I visit the Oz couple or Daisy. I think the accompanying accents will provide the proper ambiance. Plus I want some hands on guidance regarding the appropriate size of a scraping.

[Lord Jim]

I want some hands on guidance regarding the appropriate size of a scraping

For a large sized English muffin, I wouldn't recommend any more than this:



That gives me an idea....

I'll buy up a wholesale lot of these:



And then market them for $2.95 a piece as "Marmite applicators"....

[Joe Guy]

I ordered some Marmite!!

I'm not sure yet how it's being shipped. It may come by carrier pigeon or ocean liner.

But I'll remember... just a scraping... then I'll report my results.

Thanks for the link, Daisy.

Hopefully, with great care like any other hazardous material!

Where's it coming from, Mordor?

[Scooter]

That's only true of overcooked hard boiled eggs, in my experience.

Quite so. In spite of the name, hard boiled eggs should not actually be boiled. They should be brought to a boil, covered and removed from heat, and left to sit about 15 minutes, they will be perfectly cooked without any greenish ring around the yolk, which comes from overcooking and causing the sulfur in the egg to react, which also causes that telltale smell.

It's coming from Gob's native country.

I'm not sure if they've discovered air mail over there yet.

Our Price: £0.37

That's around $1 USD?

Not too bad, I suppose.

That would be 59 cents.

[Daisy]

For best results.

Toasted sourdough bread, buttered whilst hot, those little packs will do two to three slices of toast.

Don't for goodness sake try it with the sort of sweetish white bread that you sometimes get in the US. From experience of having this on a cruise ship once, I can tell you it's a nasty combination with Marmite.
