What would happen if you mix marmite into fudge?

And by the way, I thought you guys were talking about big hairy asian rodents for a couple of posts there.

Actually, it sounds like a very yummy rice pudding to me. I think I'll try it with coconut milk next time I make it.

The Vancouver Island sub-species of the marmot is an endangered species. There are only about 23 of them left. They have set up a 1 mile radius no-go zone around their burrows.

That's actually a Vancouver Island specimen. Must have been a hella long lens to get it from a mile away.

According to a show on the Travel Channel, they are also a Mongolian delicacy when cooked in a stew.

Is it just me, or does that marmot look snooty?

I'd hate to be in an airplane crash over the Andes with any of you:

"Can we hike out of here?"

"Maybe...Um, your leg would taste nice smeared with marmite and sprinkled with popcorn."

Wrong?? Nothing.

Even the Buddha said (I'm paraphrasing, of course) "Life is suffering. We should all try to alleviate suffering. However, if you are in a plane wreck in the Andes, the best way to alleviate the suffering of others is a quick bash on the head, followed by a slow stewing over an open fire."

Or, something like that.

Thus, proving once and for all that it is Hindi who have the predilection for vegetarianism, and not Buddhists.
