The Black pudding is sold here, do they sell it in the US of A? I don't know of many Aussies who would eat it. I have seen it on P&O UK and Cunard, the black pudding that is, grilled/fried for breakfast. Now Vegemite, that is a very popular spread here. Princess ships operating from AUS stock it. QM2 has it when we were on her. Miss Gut would probably caused a riot otherwise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmite is VEGAN and has nothing to do with beef. It even states on the label "100% vegetarian". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be confusing marmite with bovril, this seems to explain the differences between the two, similar but not identical Marmite v Vegemite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a non-fan of both (yes, I have tried both at one time or another...no desire to repeat the experience), I was always under the impression that the only difference was that Marmite was British and Vegemite was Australian. Interesting to learn there is a bit more to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia has an equivalent of Bovril, it is Bonox, been around for years. Rum and Bonox was a favourite amongst military personnel, way back and is often consumed at dawn services on Anzac Day 25 April. Warms the cockles of your heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckymal Posted August 17, 2020 #145 Share Posted August 17, 2020 On our first world cruise, we shared a table for six, one of the other couples got on ship in Sydney, and after a few nights the lady who was Australian and her partner was English from Liverpool, she said her partner had left something in the cabin and had gone back for it, when he arrived at the table he was furious, one of the head waiters approached him entering the dining room with no jacket and asked him to put a jacket on, back to the cabin, jacket on, back to the dining room, he then explained why he was late, saying I have a new beautiful shirt which I wanted to show off, I glanced at his partner needless to say head down and feeling embarrassed, for the rest of the meal it was never mentioned again.🍷🥃 Dress code is in the Cunard Brochure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
