I hope you took a picture of your hair, even if you never intend publishing it.
you’re only supposed to have a very small amount of marmite on your toast or bread, and its even better with cheese!
I couldnt help but laugh listein to you and your bad hair. Its only hair Father, it grows back ( or maybe in your case, maybenot ; ) )
Thanks for the altar info. Always helpful to review what might be the obvious to some.
Isn’t that what the Aussies call vegemite? I agree, it’s pretty gross!
We were very amused to hear your Marmite experiences. It’s great stuff, full of B vitamins. Only a very thin scraping is required through. A favourite is cheese, tomato and Marmite sandwich.
Hi Fr Roderick, Here is australia we have vegemite which is similar. I have never been a fan of vegemite but I do enjoy it occasionally with lots of butter and a little vegemite (tip of the knife)mixed into it. With toast you just need to be a little more careful that you don’t over do it because the butter melts in before you get the vegemite on. Adding cheese is even better, and you can use just a little more vegemite as the flavour isn’t so strong with the cheese.
Some English tips:
Comb rhymes with Rome — Silent b
A separation is referred to as a “part” in your hair. You can part it on the left, the right or in the middle.
Men don’t go to hairdressers, they go to barbers. Women go to hairdressers. However, both men and women might go to a hair stylist. All three work with hair. A barber tends to give the simpler cuts most men wear. A hairdresser will spend a large amount of time to get a woman’s hair just right. A hair stylist will spend a long time on more complicated men’s styles–but with women, this is also another word for hairdresser.
Marmite is not quite the same as vegemite (or promite) but is very similar. Being an Aussie, my tip would be to stick to vegemite, but to make sure you only put a little bit on your toast (which is the mistake most Americans make). As for it being an acquired taste, my 1-year-old daughter loved it immediately, and now only wants that for breakfast, so it can’t be all bad.
