Toast, marmite, and chocolate

[vilakins]

Greg arrives in Auckland in about three hours time, at 10:30pm. He and his sister have lots of gifts from relatives which are woven or made of wood, so they have to go through bio-security which might mean a long wait. I'm taking a book to the airport and will sit at one of the cafes with a coffee till Greg calls me. No matter when we get home. he has requested a cup of tea and some Vogels (wholegrain bread) toast with Marmite on it. Ooookay, I can provide that. :-P

In other news, I now have both tiramisu and crème brulee Cadbury's chocolate. Yes, it does taste of crème brulee when you gently suck through to the filling, and very nice too. I'd rate them equal. I can report they both go well with Babylon 5 and the joy that is Londo, G'Kar, and Ivanova, though 70% Richfield's would probably be a better match for those guys.

...he has requested a cup of tea and some Vogels (wholegrain bread) toast with Marmite...

Ah, life's simple pleasures.

Hope you don't have to wait too long at the airport.

Only an hour; not too bad. I had a latte, a croissant, and a read. :-)

Hee! He knows what he wants! :-) I hope that the delay isn't too long...

Mmmm. Chocolate. I must see whether we can get those things here.

Only an hour. :-)

Let me know what y9ou think if you find them.

Hope Greg got through customs with minimal fuss.

What a great idea! Chocolate matching for tv shows. Or books, even. I guess anything highly political with lots of action would have to be dark. Soft and sweet for lighter shows like TNG and Charmed?

Love the sound of the creme brulee.

He did!

Richfield's grapefruit for House: wonderfully bitter and tasty!

I'm not find of either, though a little shmear of marmite in a cheese and salad sandwich is nice.

Ooooh! That sounds delicious.

The Richfield's? It's good stuff. I'm not sure if they export.

[kalinda001.livejournal.com]

We do have the Cadbury's. Don't think I've seen the Richfield's here.

made of wood, so they have to go through bio-security

What are they actually looking for?

Eldest declared his croquet mallet when he arrived for the World's, even though it was made in NZ. He said he'd rather declare it and be told they weren't interested than be caught with something forbidden.

That's exactly why they declared their stuff,a nd it was fine. Greg says they seemed to be mainly looking for borer in his case.

This is nice to read about those pleasures! Marmite is unknown here but my Son-in-law wants to try, he asked me to bring it from Britain in summer. Locals say - you either like it or hate it. Well, it is good on a toast!

It's not bad in a stew or soup for added flavour. I like a very thin shmear on a cheese and salad sandwich. A little goes a very long way. :-)
