Originally Posted By Tiggirl Making a mental note.... check out the churros on Alvera Street. Or is that Olvero Street... DyGDisney, thankfully I cannot lock my door without my key so I should be safe. But if I run into any problems I'm calling you so you can have your neighbor come kick my door in. Unless you wanted to do it yourself. That's okay too. I'm starting on my next cuppa. Mmmmm! ~Beth

Originally Posted By smedley Tig, marmite is very difficult to describe.

Ermm it's kind of like vegemite (Aus) do you get that there... Ooh Ooh do you get twiglets over there? If so it tastes like twiglets (that's what they're coted in) geez this is hard... Why is it whenever you're craving something specific for dinner you never have it in the house??
Originally Posted By smedley 'coted in' coated in even, sheesh I am even starting to type like Tig, is that because I've had 6 cups of coffee today? And could still go to sleep right now given the chance LOL!

I'll be *sure* to get you my address right away. (I don't think she suspects that I'm on to her yet! Whew!) ~Beth
Originally Posted By Tiggirl WHAT THE HECK IS A TWIGLET?! What do you people eat over there?!?! LOL! It sounds like a stick. I have *smelled* vegimite once. That was enough. WHy are you guys trying to get me to eat creamy yeast and sticks? What happend to these curley whurleys or whatever the heck they're called? Why am I being offered alfalfa or something instead of chocolate??? ~Beth
Originally Posted By smedley Tig seriously you will either love it to bits or completely detest it. My DH thinks it is the most foul substance on earth and won't come near me when I've eaten it... Hmmm Urs, perhaps your DH feels the same way about Funyuns (what the heck are they anyways??) as mine does about marmite... Strange men

Originally Posted By sarahwithbaloo Ha ha I best not tell you how it was discovered lol it was a waste product of ale making ha ha. If you did not like the smell of vegi mite I think you will possibly be in the hate it brigade. I can send ya some curly Whirleys instead you will be safer with those lol.
Originally Posted By Ursula I'll translate as I speak British: Funyuns are a snack crisp.

And how many more are out there other than him that I've been accepting things from and touching. Ewwww!~~~ I would honestly take it to management. It's a health hazard he's spreading around the office. If you're uncomfortable talking to a manager, I would at least do it anonymously. Hubby had to deal with a coworker like this for months. No one ever spoke up. He finally did and action was taken. I was honestly thinking of Deep Thoughts from SNL when I saw this topic. Ahhh the memories, lol.
