Re: The Test Series
Hello Valerie, all,
But …. Of course you did ….. what else is there to eat when a Test is in progress, unless … unless…. You’re not (gasp) a POM are you? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that …)

Re: The Test Series
Actually, I was under the impression that the Aussie hippies got the Vegemite sandwich for free...

Love that song Mike! Thanks!
My son has a three day ticket and would be sitting as far away as possible from the Barmy Army
Though I hear some Aussies have started the Jarmy Army in competition, and are all wearing striped pyjamas.
Weather forecast is O.K.

Vegemite is an acquired taste and one that's inaccessible to most people unless they grew up with it from birth. Its iconically Australian but probably one of our worst culinary 'representatives'. To be honest, I was never a big fan.
As for the Cricket, I hope its a great game. Where I'm going - I doubt I'll even hear about it!

Re: The Test Series
I love Vegemite....but of course as a Pom I was brought up on its close relative Marmite...I must confess to preferring Vegemite, its that bit milder.
Which reminds me of the story of a friend who had a Swedish guest, who tasted Marmite for the first time and couldnt believe that anyone voluntarily ate it...
So after the guest had returned to Sweden my friend sent him the smallest size jar of Marmite for Christmas as a joke...the Swedish chap wrote back thanking him for " the ten years supply of Marmite "......
Anyway may the best team win...
Enjoy Burma, Ben....keep us posted if you can.

Re: The Test Series
O.K. Ben,
Your task, should you agree to accept it, is to lift the standard of Burmese cricket, so that they win a game - any game, against any team:

Re: The Test Series
We had some Japanese exchange students staying with us a few years ago. They are incredibly polite guests and will therefore eat anything you offer them but even they drew the line at Vegemite, saying, "Our teachers said we should not even taste it because we couldn't help saying it was horrible," OWTTE.Sanghamitta wrote:I love Vegemite....but of course as a Pom I was brought up on its close relative Marmite...I must confess to preferring Vegemite, its that bit milder.

We were a bit puzzled actually - it doesn't seem so different from Miso.
By the way, Terry Pratchett came up with quite a good creation myth for the stuff.
