Debbie,

            Pleased to meet you also, right hear we go........Chooky Eggs & Marmite Soldiers, basically a soft-boiled egg (around 3 minutes) with a slice of bread, buttered, spread with Marmite and cut into wide strips (the soldiers), which are used to dunk into the egg (a kiddies favourite) and as I'm a big kid, mine also.

  http://www.eggrecipes.co.uk/egg/recipes/Boiled_Eggs_with_Marmite_Soldiers.asp

Ploughman's lunch.........Cheese and/or ham with a big chunk of unsliced bread, pickle (but not your sort of pickle) or chutney, pickled onion, tomato, lettuce, an apple and butter (for the bread), and preferably a pint of real ale.

Debbie, If you are visiting the city of York, (Yorkshire), that is the home of Rowntrees chocolate, i dont know if they'er still going but they along with Cadbury's (near Birmingham, England) were the biggest chocolate makers in the world.

Krissy, you aint heard nothing yet, my father who was a Royal Marine used to like "egg banjoes", it's a fried egg in a large buttered role (like a bap). My own version has.......You guessed it, marmite in the bap Smile.

Michael,

           Marmite is actually made from spent brewers yeast, I think your probably thinking of Bovril which as far as I know is beef extract.

One might say one is "scraping the bottom of the barrel" when eating Marmite, eh David?  Wink
