Mint sauce!

Dragontao >> sunday december 13 - 21:19

Mint sauce is good, plus mix it with some mayo and use it on chicken tikka sandwiches as a makeshift raita.

Surely it would be better to mix it with natural yoghurt than mayo...

Dragontao >> monday december 14 - 01:51

Not if you don't have any yoghurt. I tend to have mayo in most of the time, not always the case with yoghurt.

I thought you pommies preferred Salad Cream to Mayo :)

Numpty >> monday december 14 - 09:08

We prefer Marmite. 

davo >> monday december 14 - 09:56

Marmite is OK. As I lived for most of my youth in Leeds and the rest in Australia, I have some authority in this and can honestly say that the answer is not Marmite and it is not vegemite. It is Bovril. Cheese and Bovril sandwiches are amazing.

Numpty >> monday december 14 - 10:35

Agreed. Bovril is very underrated. 

Dragontao >> monday december 14 - 13:51, Edited monday december 14 - 18:50

Nah, Mayo. Mint mayo (I think you can even buy it), Pesto mayo, mustard mayo, cracked black pepper mayo - all depending on what you're eating/putting in your sandwich.

Salad cream is ok. Marmite is

Edit: Bovril is ok. Cup of hot bovril at the footy in the old days. From what passef as a food stall in the old shed terraces at Stamford Bridge. The entrance was even known as the bovril gate.

Bovrilgate. The UK's answer to Watergate. :)

davo >> monday december 14 - 22:35

Bovril as a drink is not great. I'd rather use an oxo cube with a bit of pepper in it. When used in a similar fashion to marmite/vegemite (i.e. in a sandwich or on toast) however, it is phenomenal.

The real Bovrilgate is how they removed the beef extract and made it vegan friendly...

Numpty >> monday december 14 - 22:38

You should try diluting it before you drink it ...  ;)

davo >> monday december 14 - 22:54

Ah, that's where I was going wrong.
