Some Brits put curry sauce on fish & chips, so cold fruit with egg and pancakes seems quite normal

I apologise if you thought i was being funny with you in any way Steph, it was all meant in jest hun

Of course

Right back at ya! I go to Patti's gigs for the music, of course, but also for the private lessons Deb has been giving me in how to be British. I already try to use the words slagging, bit, and lovely as often as possible in my daily coversations, despite the odd looks. It's just so hard to pull off without the accent. I think I've failed tea preparation and tipping. And then the lessons ended when Deb told me I'd have to start eating that black sausage stuff with my baked beans in the morning

Maybe next Patti could schedule something in Australia......I've always wanted to try Vegemite. Maybe the tipping rules are easier to learn over there!!

Me and you both...when I started calling everybody a "git"...I had to give long and winding explanation of what it is...so I've stopped...

And as to Vegemite...ummm...if you ever in NJ...I think I still have some since Australian ML fans visit...I might have eaten it one time...maybe...

i hope she didnt tell you what it actually was before trying to get you to eat it

But don't worry, i can't stomach the stuff lol

oh and you can get vegemite over here too (maybe not as good as the aussie stuff)

we'll send ya back with some next time you're over

mszee · 21 Jan 2008, 22:15

I LOVE that black stuff...not vegemite...I guess it's blood sausage or something???

djfierce · 21 Jan 2008, 22:20

I like white pudding too but I have been ribbed here for liking it cause apparently it's made of crap...but I still like it...I just say that I don't like it...

Pudding · 22 Jan 2008, 00:42

Everybody likes a pudding of one form or another

Don't get too excited. Vegemite is the same as Marmite, as in they're both made from yeast extracts. Vegemite however is less superior than Marmite, although don't be confused with Australian Marmite and British Marmite, as they're different. British Marmite is the best and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, I have my Marmite imported

Thanks, Pud. You just saved me some very expensive airfare.........

That said, you've compared one product I've never had to another product I've never had. Guess I missed my chance last month when I was over in the UK. Next time, I guess. We'll just have to see what part of the world Patti's next gig is in and take it from there. I know "The Twelve" was just here in the states, but if we're lucky enough to get the next gig, too, I'll bring enough scrapple for everyone in the class! And speaking of Pennsylvania treats, the TV is on and there's a promo for next month's run of WDTW in Phildadelphia on right now.......anyone REALLY want to try that scrapple?

Now there speaks a true Ex-Pat!

The only Marmite to eat is the British stuff, and that's be British stuff int he glass jar not this new squeezy bottle rubbish!!

Exports can be arranged for any non-Brits who'd like to try it!

djfierce · 23 Jan 2008, 11:47

I'd export it too......

Not to any of my friends though, i like them far too much

mszee · 23 Jan 2008, 15:33

Is marmite a sweet stuff of the same brown goo?

not just take it home and tell us you loved it

Deb · 20 Apr 2008, 20:04

Thanks to my Yanky 'non marmite liking' friend the first of the videos from The Twelve is now on youtube. It starts off on its side but the camera turns about 30 secs in lol.

YouTube Video

No Fence Around My Heart - Mary Magdalene (Patti Russo)

djfierce · 20 Apr 2008, 20:42

lol Steph...you're as talented with a camera as me

and we did warn you on the marmite thing lolol

Seriously though thanks..the sound quality is awesome for a vid, she is truly amazing, lol Deb you read my mind just as i was typing

You mustve had a hell of a night Steph.

citydweller · 20 Apr 2008, 21:07

Well, whoever it was who took this video must have not realized his or her camera couldn't flip the video.........or else the performance was so good he or she fell over and took a second to recover.

So the UK has this Marmite stuff which is, in my humble opinion, quite awful.
You have these annoying hot and cold water taps, and the never ending supply of dizzying roundabouts. Yet you still manage to get almost all the really great performances........................a bit of a never ending source of envy.

Except for The Twelve

So this Yank is gonna cherish THIS one because it was REALLY, REALLY good......................and it was here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

djfierce · 20 Apr 2008, 21:28

lmao good on ya hun

And i'm glad you envy our taps too

Deb · 20 Apr 2008, 21:38

More like 30 seconds to recover lol.

Well seeing as we're so unlucky with our taps and stuff i'd say we deserve these really great performances

I just wish i could have been at THIS one with you!

Here's another....

All Doors Will Open - The Devil (Patti Russo)
