I know, Pet, brings tears to me eyes when I think back over all we've shared....sigh....all those memories....the good times, the bad, Aiken, Jaggy's flying attempts, Russ on the rampage, Tulip being a man!! Ady not being a clanger :o, TM not belonging to the green party, being hurled off the sofa, those lovely curried parsnip mincepies......here you go, have the last one................funny how it seems like yesterday.. ::) ::) ::) :-*
I'm learning to tolerate alcohol, Moonbells, is a hard task, but someone's got to do it... ;)

Hated mushrooms, liver, olives, tomatoes, kidney, onions, butter beans, any kind of dried fruit and marzipan as a kid.

Now eat mushrooms, tomatoes & onions. Can just about get away with liver, kidney & dried fruit.

But if I was captured by the enemy just the threat of olives, marzipan and butter beans (either individually or together) would make me tell them all I knew. I don't care what anybody else says they are the food of the Devil

Olives are a classic taste changer. I used to pick them religiously off the all-topping pizzas.

One day someone introduced me to mozzarella, tomato and basil salad with extra virgin olive oil. I went out and bought the ingredients as I liked it so much, and eventually I bought a jar of olives as an experiment. Now if folk leave a dish of them near me they really shouldn't wonder where they've all gone...

;D

I can drink tequila with lime, or as marguerita, or my favourite is in tequila sunrise. Come Christmas day morning, I will be drinking copious quantities of this cocktail, and being very happy in the kitchen ... whilst my wife is sound asleep having just endured another night shift, and my daughter is doing whatever she decides to be doing ...

I also enjoy olives, but find that after about 8, I have had enough. Now if you are talking pickled garlic, well that is another story ...

Could never get on with slammers...always managed to hurl contents of glass about the room whilst slamming......mm.. oh well....but still no way going within 10 ft of an olive...be it black, green or conservative.. :P

Only thing I detest and have always hated "BLOODY MARMITE"......
I had a nice apprenticeship learning my drinking tastes...took quite a few
years to serve my time.... you name it I have had a go at it...but always
came back to 2 old favourites...was a toss up between dark rum n coke
or southern comfort and coke...Icy if your reading this (saw that bout roll
mops) and you like a vodka...try getting yourself a jar of mussels eat
mussels...the juice left pour it in to a glass with a measure of vodka I tell
you the taste will blow you away....that was learnt from taffy rugger
fans...but there lies another story !!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I agree on the bloody marmite , was this stuff invented as a joke ?

The other thing I can not abide now is peanut butter ...

But I do enjoy coffee icecream ...

Derekthefox :D

I love toasted Marmite soldiers with boiled egg. Good for you too :)

undercarriage plan · « **Reply #52 on:** December 16, 2005, 11:42:50 »

Oh yes, Wards!! But always have strange phenomenon when doing dippy eggs ( no insult meant to eggs, by the way... ::)), all put in at same time, and without fail 2 will be darn near perfect, other 2 would make handy missiles... ???

Delilah · « **Reply #53 on:** December 16, 2005, 14:02:59 »

Guess What ......................I luuuuuuuurrrrrrve Marmite butties..............with a diet coke ....the total hangover cure ;D

can't do a soft boiled egg to save my life and the sprogs only like the yoke anyway so are dead stressed with me if not a dipping one........so I cheat and just fry them ;D result is a runny yoke every time :)

undercarriage plan · « **Reply #54 on:** December 16, 2005, 14:36:55 »

LOL!! Try toast and cheese with marmite under cheese and sliced toms on top....mmmmm!
I'll dippy your eggs if you fry mine, cos always end up with mustard coloured mess.. :P

Bionic Wellies · « **Reply #55 on:** December 16, 2005, 15:13:40 »

Mmmmmmmmmm Marmite - mix it with butter and spread it on toast, or just spread it on bread or crackers - it doesn't matter because it tases aweful whatever you do with it - pop it straight in the bin (don't even open the jar) - cos the birds won't touch it either!!!!

AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(sorry - better now (well maybe not))

Derekthefox · « **Reply #56 on:** December 16, 2005, 15:58:28 »

Yes Bionic, straight in the bin, best way to handle Marmite ;D ;D ;D

When I was a kid I hated olives, but loved blue cheese, cauliflower, brussels, cabbage and liver.

Now I love olives (it was a pizza that converted me!) but hate blue cheese, cauli and caabage. Although I still like brussels. Oh and I wouldn't eat liver as I'm a veggie.

Oh and I liked broccoli then I hated it. But since I discovered cooking the florets separate from the stalk and only steaming them for about 3-5mins I like it again. Maybe the case would be the same for cauli if I tried it!

But I still dislike figs.

Even my sister (who thought Marmite was the vomit of the devil) likes it now! Me - I've always loved it!

For all you Marmite afficianados, I couldn't recommend this too highly:

Looks terrible tastes fantastic. Even DTF might like it.

Lotty that cheese on toast with marmite sounds fab
