I was just thinking I'd like to try it on hamburger. It makes sense
that it goes with meatloaf.

Bovril and Bonox are brand names of concentrated beef stock, usually used
more for making a 'cup of soup' to drink rather than for cooking, but can
also be used for cooking.


Not bad on toast either ;-)

It is a savory spread and the tiniest amount like what would cover half
a US Cent on a slice of buttered toast - more is not better!
Amongst some teenage boys it is often referred to as "a front end
loader" maybe the Viagra set should investigate it...

Most Americans tend to slather way too on the toast when they first try
it and of course the salt content creates the sppllttt!! reaction. Pussy
cats love it btw. Oh yes and it is Vegemite

It sounds like something sold on late night TV. Buy the new VEGEMITE -
grind all of your veggies into dust!!!

LOL! I feel the same way about America - I need to have a 'foodie tour'
there!

Failing that, you two might enjoy a little exchange? Thats what my friend
Peter and I do. By agreement we ship cheapest slow route.

Peter packed me a box of your version of 'jello', several spice mixes
particular to Brisbane, Promite, a powdered brown gravy (long eaten,
something like gravlax? was the name?), local food shopping sales flyers,
tim-tams, some pictures of places I saw on my last trip but it wasnt in
bloom then, 3 cheap little pins mostly bought by tourists but unique enough
*here* that they do not look at all cheap on my business jacket lapels, and
some other things long gone but enjoyed.

I shipped him file' powder with recipes for it's use, local made pork,
chicken and beef dry rubs, tony Caccatore (sp?) Cajun seasoning blends in
regular and low salt, small jar of welches grape jelly, local grocery sales
flyers, Bell seasoning box, Old Bay seasoning and other stuff I no longer
recall.

Although Peter had never been stateside, I'd been to Australia 10 or so
times (mostly Darwin) and to his home town so I knew in general what he
wouldnt see in his local stores. We each aimed at what we were pretty sure
the other didnt have easy access to or things he'd read about but never seen
in his stores.

Lee, 'grape jelly' isn't a commercial thing there. They have many *lovely*
jams and jellies, but they pretty much make wine of the grapes and to find
grape jelly, you have to make your own. They actually have a wider
selection than we do by far for jelly/jams but it's different. If you two
do this exchange, just about any dried or jarred thing is ok to ship to the
USA but USA residents have to watch what they ship to Australia. The reason
is they haven't had some of the critters the rest of us have already
exchanged and don't particularily want'em (grin).

kept felines away.

so this paromite and marmite are the same thing but different
brands, or different items? Lee

I was taught they are the same, just mild differences (at least
promite and Vegemite). Yowie seems to differ but my OZ friend who
ships me the Promite, says they are the same, just different brands
and one a bit better.

Although similar, Vegemeite and Promite are not just like two different
brands of essentially the same product. Vegemite is a yeast extract, Promite
is a vegetable extract. If anything, Marmite, Vegemite and MightyMite (A
Dick Smith brand, probably only available in Oz) are different brands of
essentially the same material (yeast extract), whereas Promite and other
strong Oumami stuffs are very different.

I should create my own brand - Yosemite, made in California.

I knew i loved that part of the world, i detest all grape jelly except my
grandmother's recipe, it is the only thing dh will eat, i love all other
jams/jellies, he won't touch them... gotta love anywhere that uses grapes
for their proper purpose, Lee

Grapes are to make WINE.
