Grape jelly and sausage biscuits,(not cookies, UK folks) my sister and I both like grape, or even better elderberry jelly,on sausage biscuits
Hope the rain held off Marmite never crossed the channel and if they try to we could revive (and won again) the hundred year war...
When I was a kid I thought I didn't like mushrooms. With my parents feeding 6 kids, mushrooms were a real treat. A luxury the grocery money rarely bought. A brother several years older than me convinced me I didn't like mushrooms so there would be more for him. As a young teen I discovered I loved them. That's probably why I became willing to try anything edibe before judging/deciding.
It most certainly has crossed the channel. I buy it at the Giant down the street.
Not in Paris at least, even when marks & Spencer had shops they did not sell. Perhaps in places where British have settled.
It is rare for humans to eat carnivorous, probably because the taste must be very strong. There are obviously exceptions - or nothing else to eat. Necessity makes law, during the Paris siege in 1871, the population of cats and rats dropped seriously, the zoo also became a pantry.
Last year I actually had a guy throw at me from his speeding car a plastic shopping bag full of garbage while we were picking up trash.Well done to you and your fellow League members Leghog, that's a great public service
More likely because when you hunt them, they hunt back.
Ahhh, channel. Somehow my mind read and wrote ocean.
Never seen a bear in a gunshop...

Edit If I recall there was a commercial Marmite T-shirt saying"Je déteste".
I only have one British friend who lives in France, the rest are French. I've seen Marmite in supermarkets and health food stores in many parts of France! 
The one I buy is Meridian Yeast Extract, which has a better flavour than Marmite I think 
Sorry to hear about the rain, but it sounds like you did a great job. Well done A shame the stuff gets dumped in the first place 
It just dawned on me: I'm not gentry.I have to say, I haven't had HP sauce since I was a kid!
So, you've been here long enough to suffer the I-haven't-seen-blue-skies-in-two-whole-days-blues!I think I'm depressed.
This is the second morning in a row that it's been raining. I don't have anything against rain per se, but in the almost three years that we've been here in Texas, I've got into the habit of getting out of bed in the morning and opening the blinds and seeing another sunny day in Texas. It's become a real habit.
Now I get out of bed and see gray skies with this water falling down and it's disquieting. Where's that big orange thing we're used to seeing? Now I have feeling of impending doom, like something bad just over the horizon. Maybe the earth will stop spinning on it's axis, or the brain eating aliens are going to arrive. Maybe a human sacrifice is needed to bring back the sun?
Maybe I'll crawl back into bed and pull the covers up over my head and try again tomorrow. I expect days of rain if I were in, maybe England. When I was in England it rained four or five days out of seven. But you expect that. They sell very good raincoats and umbrellas in England. When I was in Portland Oregon it rained a lot. A lot of Portlanders wear duck shoes. But this is the Texas hill country. A lot of rain is just weird. Maybe I'll make a toddy for breakfast. A drink never hurts.
We are so spoiled in central Texas, that when the rain comes, everyone is down in the dumps from sunshine withdrawal. Everyone says, "Oh please, we need the rain to end the summer's drought", but when it comes they can't help feeling down. Don't worry, it'll pass.

I had a young American visiting one time, I forget where he was from, but it must have been somewhere pretty dry. When summer came to an end (we had one that year, a good one), and it began to rain, he thought it was just a temporary glitch in the weather. I had to explain to him, 'Summer is over buddy, now you got nine months of RAIN!' We're used to it here, but's still darn depressing! I'll crack open a beer and send you a toast Carl This attitude seems so alien to me. I love the grey and the rain. I have a hard time visiting my wife's family on Texas because of a'll the sun all the time. Of course I have an even harder time visiting my Mom now that she lives in Arizona. Heck, summers in the Willamette valley seem too dry to me!
Give me the sweet life sustaining rain that brings the green and the lush. Y'all can keep your sun blasted browns
I'll crack open a beer and send you a toast Carl
I'm already two toddy's ahead of you, Jack, and it ain't even noon yet! But I do feel better!
