Mint, as taken from the garden in leaf form (or bought from the dreaded supermarket), NOT as in essence-of-mint. What I was trying to imply was that a few mint leaves placed in the pan whilst the Maris Pipers are boiling will gently infuse into the potato itself giving an extra bit of taste to the final sauteed potato the following morning. I knew what you meant. Just can't believe you've repeated it.  ;D |

Earl Grey mixed with a good Breakfast leaf... perfect! Nope, its got to be either Typhoo or Tetley. None of that posh stuff for me Bud I'm sure Jon's Gentlemen's gentlemen would agree with you though. ;D |

I know it's blasphemy to declare a preference for such a northern beverage, but it just makes properly strong tea. And if you squint a bit you can almost pretend it's Dartmoor featured on the box  Oh, and full fat milk as well please, none of this skimmed or semi-skimmed nonsense. |

There is no question in my mind that a large strong cup of rosie is the perfect breakfast tipple. A million truckers can't be wrong! I now have a confession. I have become partial to a cup of green tea with my brekkie over here. In my defense breakfast isn't the same, merely toast and marmalade (alas no marmite or even vegemite). I have also been known to add ginger to the green tea. There, it's out in the open.  |

Now your talking......................... I'm eating some in a fresh (well fresh from the local shop on the way in last evening) bread roll washed down with my daily hot lemon & honey drink as I type. The recipe for the drink that seems to keep me cold free, lower blood pressured and controls my allergy to tree pollen is: Juice of half a large lemon freshly squeezed with as much zest as I can scrape off. A pinch of salt, a pinch of cinnamon with boiling hot water added to the mug and six spoonfuls of honey stirred in.This is at the recommendation of the consultant of the heart unit where I ended up as a result of extreme breathing distress and chest pains from said tree pollen immediately after my trip to Carlisle for that fantastic vistory under Ian Atkins a few years ago. When I'm ready to leave at 5am I'll have a bowl of Kelloggs Cornflakes (no sugar) and an Expresso with lots of sugar! I'm delivering a film crew to a location unit this morning so a 6.30am buckshee fry up with steaming coffee from the obligatory breakfast wagon beckons! |

I sometimes like to mix it up with Vegemite now and again which is also a good hangover cure. It's best on a toasted bagel I think. Although this morning it's a been a Bacon and Sausage sandwich from Cafe Oz on Caledonian Road. They also do a good coffee. I'm down to one coffee a day at the moment. I've replaced it with South African Rooibos (Redbush) tea which seems to make me sleep better. |

Marmite is disgusting, you either love it or hate, I hate it! I do love Vegemite though and before any one tries to say their the same I strongly suggest you don`t go there BECAUSE THEIR NOT THE SAME AT ALL!!!!! Any yeast extract connoisseur will tell you that Marmite is stronger and tastes like Vegemite with Paracetamol mixed in it, I was brought up with Vegemite ( I know I`m probably stating the bleedin obvious ) and to taste Marmite makes my face twist up in disgust! A very successful product that Marmite stuff but you can keep it, I`ll stick with my far more expensive Aussie stuff thank you very much!

Vegemite is simply a weaker and poorly executed version of the original and real thing...the Fosters lager of yeast extract products! A little known fact btw is that if you leave the top off a jar of Marmite for month, you end up with Vegemite. |

I think both Marmite and Vegemite are acceptable. I like both and they are definitely different. Marmite has a cleaner taste while Vege is smoother in my opinion. The best comparison i can make is that between Cadbury's chocolate and Galaxy if you get my drift. As i've not had visitors from blighty or Oz recently i'm out of both!

Longie i used to work for Mars so i'm more of a Galaxy fan. They put some sort of wax in the chocolate out here so it doesn't melt so easily, tastes like shit. I love maltesers but i wouldn't feed them to exeter fans here.
