Tonks:

Thank you for the lession. I hope I can remember it the next time the exams come round.

As to Marmite. I took a friend grocery shopping tonight and told her about our discussions here. She is a world traveler, has been almost everywhere at least once. Not afraid of anything and open to all sorts of foods I would never consider. At the mention of the word "Marmite", she let out a blood curdling scream. So I guess that is my answer for "should I try it?" Did you hear her Geoff? I am sure that screem was heard all the way to your place.

Tonks:
I discovered Nutella last year. Once you get over the idea that you are going to put chocolate on bread, it is very good. I use it on cinnamon swirl bread. Very, very good!!

Tonight I got some more English food to try. Some sort of cookies. Also here is another question for Geoff. I did not get the ones that looked best. They were called "Digestives". I thought that they might really be some sort of medicine, like a laxative or something. (I say this because when I was a child my mother gave me a laxative that looked like and tasted like a small piece of chocolate.) Is "Digestives" just an odd name for a cookie or does it DO something to your digestive system when you eat it. I would like to try some if it is just normal food.

We have an International section in our Meijer's store. I figured out that "scotch" is really marmalade. And I love the stuff from Greece, the brown olive spread.
