Q: Where can you buy Marmite in Hong Kong?

Can't let the toast go bare! I'm going to run out of the Marmite I brought over with me last time I went home, where can I buy it in Hong Kong? I tried Wellcome and ParknShop and they didn't have it.

Real Brit huh? So won't suggest you try Vegemite as a substitute, they have that in the bigger Wellcomes.

In fact I'd swear I've seen it in Wellcome, just in the bigger ones like that one in the Beltchers.

And of course Olivers will be bound to have it. Did you try them?

Or you can just use Bovril, which is exactly the same thing now they've stopped using Beef (boooo).

I spread BOvril on my toast all the time, comes out exactly the same as Marmite. Jar even looks the same so if you are too sleepy at breakfast time to work out which jar is M and which is Nuttella then you can just go by the shape.

Seriously though, you live in Hong Kong? Get with the program and eat a hot steaming bowl of instant noodles for breakfast with a curried pork chop! That's a way to start the day off right.

Hot food in morning is very suitable to make your inside be balanced. All the cereal and toast that western people eat is bad for them and makes them not well.

Can't say I'll disagree with a hot breakfast, but I'd rather go with a Full English if I have the choice. Bacon, Eggs, Sausage, Tomatoes and a fried slice of bread.

None of this modern Baked Beans or American hash browns nonsense either. Stick to tradition, and a pot of tea. Pot mind you, not a mug or a teabag.

Now that's a breakfast to give some stability to a man, ruddy Empire lasted a long time on people fed like that! If it wasn't for the bloody socialists and Edwina Curry saying we can't have raw eggs we'd still have it by God.

You can tell a lot about a nation by the breakfast it eats you know. Can't carve out a place on the world stage powered by Corn Flakes!

All that over breakfast? What an amazing pile of steaming turds. Sounds like you've been reading Kipling again huh?

The world has moved on quite a bit you old reactionary, try to keep up huh? You're not old enough to actually remember a real "British Empire", even if you recall the last dribs pre-1997 here in Honkers it was all a bit of a farce really.

Governers walking around with dead chickens on their head, dreaming of the days when they could call for a gun boat to put the natives in their place.

Hasn't worked that way for a long time and good riddance to it as well.

Well, thanks, I guess! I'll go and check some bigger Welcomes though.

I know Olivers would have it, but trying to avoid going in there. Always leave with a much lighter wallet so better to stay away.

As for Bovril, perish the thought. I'm desperate but not that desperate!

What's wrong with Kipling then? Bloody good writer if you ask me.

And I'm perfectly aware that the Empire is well and truly over. Doesn't mean we should learn from the good that was in our past now does it? All you young johnnies think they invented everything, but truth be told you haven't changed much since Britain really did rule the wave.

A a damn site safer world it was then too. At least you had something you could rely on, not like today were everything changes at a moments notice.

All the fault of the bloody Americans if you ask me, bunch of colonials that let things get to their heads. Just you wait until they go pop and their little undeclared empire collapses.

It is all smoke and mirrors, massive debts and a few drones to keep the natives in line. They learn the bad parts from the British and added a few of their own. And where is the moral foundation? The benefits they bring in terms of government, laws, education and civilisation? Nothing, they bring "Democracy" wrapped up in a coca cola flag and say countries have been fixed.

Tell that to Iraq, tell it to Turkey even. See what a mess they are in.

it's a shame you two stopped arguing,interesting without really getting abusive,and i only came here for marmite

does olivers still have it
