The Retirement Thread

Was it not always vegan, but just not marketed as such.

Vegetarian, but not vegan until about 10 years ago.

It was the method of filtration(Parts of fish used as the filter.) that stopped it being classed as vegan.

I'm planning a " Yeast Extract " blind tasting after reading that over the years Unilever who now own the brand have been messing with the recipe. I shall test Morrisons own brand ( reputed to be closest to the original recipe ), Marmite XO, reputed to be the original recipe, and, of course, Marmite itself. I slice of toast spread with butter, cut into three soldiers and a clean knife used on each segment. 😎 I shall report back before submitting my findings to " Yeast Extract Weekly " magazine.😉

Put Bovril in too. It’ll win

I didn't feel like breakfast this morning so I had it for lunch, scrambled egg on toast with black pudding and mushrooms

Salut tout le monde. I hope every one is well. It is sunny here and made the most of it by riding 53 kms this morning. I just checked the TdF route for 2024 and am pleased to notice that it will start from my own town of Orleans on July 9th. Made up with that.

Serious question.
How do you "do" the black pudding.
I have never in my life eaten it.
Just one hour ago i was talking about that and the person was saying "it must be fried, not boiled".

Yeast extract is a byproduct of the brewing industry, Bovril is a byproduct of animal slaughter. Will give it a miss.

Definitely fry Black pudding, not to the point where it starts to go crispy though. It should still be soft.
