One of the stipulations after the intense negotiations is that Australia had to promise never to subject Americans to the import of vegemite into their borders again. There was a brief discussion of building a vegemite wall but it was decided that a written promise would suffice.

Stick to your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  |

Stick to your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The colonial cousins are light weights when it comes to things like marmite and vegemite  |

One day HP Sauce will be British again. At least Branston is still made in Britain, even if the company that owns the brand is Japanese. |

Located in the ethnic section even though I think it is from England what does it taste like and how should I use it?? as a marinade, side sauce or cooking sauce??" www.chowhound.com/post/hp-sauce-taste-636626 |

Gool old HP sauce, I was brought up on it, my Dad used it on everything and I used to eat whatever he ate. Also remember having tears in my eyes eating corned beef with hot English mustard and black pepper. Still love it to this day.
