As someone dragged brought up in Dorset with a Devon mother I was taught the Devon way. But, what the heck, it tastes good either way

I rather suspect grahame has lost the plot here ...  Tongue

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Proof, if proof were needed, that the malted vegetable extract REALLY does polarise opinion! Grin

After a recent encounter with an unrequested addition to a piece of toast in her home, my old ma might agree with that.

Have a bigger problem with cream teas due to the differing shelf life of the ingredients.

Time and time again I buy scones and clotted cream and then don't get round to eating it initially.   The cream lasts a week or more but the scones a few days.  Often the first batch of scones go out for the birds and a second have to be bought to make use of the cream!   Thank goodness the jam lasts!!
I would like to help you out of this parlous difficulty. And I don't mind what sort of jam it is!

How can you be sure it's Marmite? It might be chocolate spread!
