!CHAT! Jodi Re: Vegemite??? Yum!!

[Guest guest]

Well not being a native New Zealander - I really should not be a fan

of Vegemite - but have to confess I really like the stuff!! ITs an

acquired taste though!! When we were living in Edinburgh Marks

parents used to send it over for him every few months......and I just

couldn't understand why.......but now I never travel without a

jar.....(free tastings at the convention for anyone who is curious

LOL!!!!!)

American crunchy peanut butter is fantastic .... just not the same

anywhere else in the world...will be taking a supply of JIF peanut

butter and Reece Peanut Butter cups back to NZ with me.....yum!

As for Haggis - its actually very nice - you just have to not think

about what it is made of - or what it is cooked in LOL. You eat it

with Neeps (Turnips) and Totties (Potatoes) and wash it down with a

dram of whisky! And NO I won't be bringing any Haggis to the

convention!
