Holiday habits of travelling Brits

Wait, you're not done yet! What's Bovril?

And is Marmite sweet or savory? I don't think yeast actually has any flavo(u)r on its own.

you post this smilies to times ? ts ;-)

bovril looks exactly the same as marmite but its got meat in it..they are both savoury...
haha i beat thok this time

Bovril is a thick, salty beef extract, sold in a distinctive, bulbous jar. (at least as far as I know)

in the middle

no one is perfect thok but im close

and the marmite jar and the bovril jar are the same shape

of course

Kaas = cheese yes Thok.

my turn to ask questions
hi rick
so what do the other two words that you posted mean?

You mean 'hagelslag' and 'pindakaas'? Well 'pindakaas' is peanut butter, a strange translation, because 'kaas' means cheese, so it should be peanut cheese, but it's peanut butter (or the other way around, meaning that 'pindakaas' should be 'pindaboter' - 'boter' is the Dutch translation of butter - but I'm off topic now).

'Hagelslag' should be translated as (I did a search on this) chocolate confetti.



This is an image of a Dutch pack of 'hagelslag'.

cool thanks man

You're welcome Col Man

as in german "Confetti Schokoladenkuchen" or "Confetti Schokoladentoast" :-)

Well, I do think 'hagelslag' is somewhat easier to say than 'Confetti Schokoladenkuchen' :wink:

Pshaw! Still the language fight german vs. dutch ;-)

.. and Dutch always wins

In your dreams! Either german wins always or sometimes there is draw...

No way! 1) The Dutch language has more connections with Frisian and English than German. 2) Dutch is more difficult to learn than German (which makes it a more interesting language of course). 3) Dutch is also spoken in Flanders, as well as parts of France, Suriname, the Netherlands Antilles, and Afrikaans - the language spoken by many South Africans - is derived from Dutch. Now, OK, we can (I said, we can) agree on the part that German is also spoken in Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Belgium, as well as by minorities in Poland, Hungary, Rumania, the Baltic States, Russia (as well as some other former Soviet Republics), Italy, France, Namibia and Denmark, but I STILL think Dutch is ehm better in this way Anyway, it's just OBVIOUS Dutch is better. No arguments ehm needed.
