West Yorkshire has just featured on the main BBC news. The incident relates to a brawl at a Bradford wedding, allegedly over a pork pie. A water-pistol was drawn during the incident, which led to 3 arrests 
One press report:
The BBC reported that the bride was sanguine a matter, quoting her as saying, "A wedding's not a wedding without a good brawl."

LOL!
If you check the press reports there are plenty of stock photos of pork pies! You can just imagine news editors all over the country shouting, "Get me a photo of a pork pie!" Mind you, the pastry on some of them looks like it could take an eye out!

Very funny story Jack! I got a good chuckle over this line in particular
I have seen an all out brawl at a wedding, funny looking back, as the one thing that really stands out in my mind was the best man, hollering incoherently, and throwing his shoe at the groom!

They don't get a lot of entertainment in Bradford!
I've not been there on one of my Quest days because there's nothing there! I've never actually seen a brawl at a wedding, but supposedly they're very common!
Rumour has it that in the original screen-play for Kill Bill, Taratino set the wedding scene in West Yorkshire. The Bride was to marry an unassuming whippet wrestler called Stan Arbuckle. However, the deadly pork pie massacre was considered so violent that Tarantino got cold feet, and fearing a backlash from both press and public, re-wrote it, setting the wedding in Texas instead

SCORE! About to plug in the toaster.
mmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm
Somehow missed this earlier! Hope you enjoyed it! :thumbup: I think I might try Duncan's Marmite/peanut butter combo tomorrow!
thumbup: or :barf:! )Tarantino said it was going to be a "homage" to The Goodies
My son and I were at ad outdoors shop on the other side of town late this morning then walked into a market on that block where he buys coffee beans. He found the vegemite and marmite on the shelf. With his coupons, 12 ounces of Tanzanian beans, the vegemite, and the marmite were only $5.10. He went for coffee. He can't stand either Vegemite or Marmite. Now I know where to get it.

He's far from alone there!
Good that you now have a source.
A French friend always used to ask me to bring him a large jar when I was passing through Lille, where he lives. I did this for years, until I found you could buy it in his local supermarket - he just wanted me to pay for it!

I've been eying the jars of Vegemite at my local grocery store, but keep being put off by the $9.99 price tag
Yeah, it's not much cheaper here!
I prefer an organic yeast extract I can buy from 'health food' shops here, but it's about $8 for a 340g jar. Pretty steep considering it's made from left-over yeast gunk, salt, and colouring!They don't get a lot of entertainment in Bradford!

If I were ever tempted to try the stuff (not likely, but stranger things have happened) I would use it as an excuse to try my hand at beer making - then save the sludge after bottling/kegging and process it down into paste. can't be much worse than the chocolate kumiss I accidentally made once. (which was surprisingly not heinous)
