I have never tried Nutella nor Vegemite (I do not even know if it is in the stores here), although, I do love Peanut Butter.

I especially love Peanut Butter covered in chocolate.

I had never heard of Bovril, so looked it up. The closest thing I know that is like that is a Bouillon cube. Some people use it to make a hot drink.

It comes in a glass bottle, and is more concentrated than a bouillon cube. On

a cold day it's lovely in a mug of boiling water with toast.

The same is done with the Bouillon cube or powder here, especially if one is sick. It is also good to use for making quick soup.

Oh gawd! Mortis. Thanks for description 1. Just stick to the rat kebabs mate.

If you have never tried vegimete and are trying it for the first time it's really, really salty so just scrape it on the toast. Don't spread it. If you like tasty cheese grills a little under the cheese is nice too.

Marmite is like vegimite with less salt. It seems sweeter but it may be that it has less salt. (There was a really bad competitor to Marmite in the sixties call Parwill. I'll leave you to think of how they marketed that.)

Bovril wasn't an Australian staple. Although being around when I grew up I watched people drink it rather than drink it myself. It was advertised on tele. Though, with weather like the northern hemisphere has had I can understand it would be welcomed by many but with the hot temperatures here it got beaten to the mark by a nice cold beer.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are what we saw on US tele shows as kids here in Australia. What we call jelly here is what you guys in the states called jello (I think. You know the cold stuff from the fridge)
Popular sandwiches when I was a kid were peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Especially warm on toast.

Nutella. If it wasn't for the fact that nearly all women are nearly always on some kind of diet I think Nutella would have been in the cupboard constantly just like peanut butter and vegimite always is.
My wife loves it spread on anything that will stay still long enough to do so. I really don't get that excited. It's nice but I don't eat chocolate Easter eggs for breakfast and that's sort of what it's like.

My niece works for Arnotts. (Big Australian biscuit [cookie] company bought by Campbells [I think]) They market TIM TAM biscuits to the south pacific islanders as a great breakfast food.

I think I may have hurt myself laughing at that, my wife is now calling the "Home" and asking them to come round and collect me, I'll go hide for a bit and they will forget all about me

About description 1, just be glad I edited out the jock strap (you'll be imagining that for days )

Strange friends you have
I too can imagine a score of very interesting abuses, for Nutella and similar but all these toast crumbs would be far too much in the way during certain activities :P

Tim Tams are evil I tell you: just plain evil, and are the work of the devil.

They know that there is no stopping at just one.

There is a little voice which is switched on in the brain, and all it says is, "Have another one, have another one." , then when you look down there is a dead packet, with nary a Tim Tim in it.

Cheers
