sam_casper 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Hiya all... Ok here in Aus we tend to have Vegimite on Toast or Weetbix (stereotypically).... I love my vegimite toast... What do you eat for breakfast in Japan? Sam *a wimpering little girl who will miss her vegimite!* Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 you've got a lot of free time there...a bit out of control...crazy girl... anyway..I stay away from "japanese breakfast", but it consists of (usually) rice, miso, fish, natto, other strange veggies danz Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Brings yaz own vegemite! It's like gold around here. Very hard to find! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Coffee Marmite on toast when I can get it Lobster thermidor Bread Yoghurt Fruits in season The smell of grilled fish coming from my neighbour's house in the morning makes me want to puke, but when they have sausages, I slaver a bit. (I lied about the lobster thermidor by the way.) When you come over, bring a case of Vegemite, make friends and influence people. Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 what is vegemite??? sounds about as appealing as spam is to me... danz Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Vegemite: The fruit of the gods(Sanitarium and other such manufacturer gods that is ) The balancer of the force. The bringer of healthy living. The best bloody thing to have before a slide down the mountain. Doesn't tell you much about what it is, but if I gave away the secret I might have to terminate you Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 The typical Japanese family home breakfast is a little hard to stomach. Plenty of energy in it and good for you, but not nice for breakfast. Mind you, neither is the typical western breaky of factory made toast and jam. I go to great lenghths and expense to may the individual ingridients of my killer muesli. As an aside, here is the ultimate breakfast drink. I commend it to you. into a blender put the following: 1 big cup of quality OJ 2 big spoons of natural, unsweetened yoghurt (Greek is best) 1 raw egg a handful of natural rolled oats a spoonfull of honey. 1 banana You can vary the amounts of yoghurt, oats and honey to change the flavour ant texture. You have to blend the bejesus out of it to chop up the oats. It is the ulimate energy breakfast. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I think I often see this on the train platform on my way home on Friday nights. Gotta avoid stepping in that. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I have an unopened jar of vegM at my house. It is the vaiety that converts to a small drining glass once it is empty. Any bids? Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 If any of you poor deprived people would like some Vege/Mar/Pro-mite, drop me an email and I'll help you out. I understand how bad things can get, after living in Adelaide (the coffee capital of .au), I tried for 6 weeks to get a decent coffee in the UK and only found one place in Inverness that could do it.

Ocean11 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Coffee in the UK is dire. Even in the late 80s most coffee in cafes was Nestcafe. You could see the slatternly lass with the torn black skirt spooning it into the mug. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Wrong, Ocean. Not been back lately? Obviously not been to the uk much recently. Coffee = good. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Not been back lately, no. Well I'm glad to hear things have changed. I shall be drinking some tasty UK coffee this winter then (and praying that the snow in Japan is crap while I'm there). What about cafe waitress' skirts? Are they still coming down at the hem and apart at the seams? Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 infact, I at a yakitori place in Ginza called Bird Man. One of the yakitori stick was a big long bit of grilled and almost melted cheese twisted around the stick. It was the best thing I have eaten in 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Has anyone here tried "Promite"?? I did once when i was a little kid, haven't touched the stuff since. It is similar to Vegemite expect that it doesn't have salt, or something like that anyway. But jesus, it makes a difference!!! Link to post Share on other sites
