Same here, although I don’t mind twiglets or marmite flavoured crisps

Tesco are now selling a llama cake. (Perhaps some kind person can upload an image of it. My brand new phone won't do it in this forum)

My mom and I like Marmite, my dad and Mr. Bluebird hate it. I thought disliking Marmite was an American thing, but I didn't realize that it was a polarizing food in the UK, too! My mom loves the Marmite crisps, but they are very difficult to find here. I haven't had the chance to try them yet.
Nice llama cake, that's very colorful!

The second ad is a bit too gross for my taste (also, who uses that much Marmite? Do people do that? ), but the first one is hilarious!

Update: turns out that my local grocery store does carry Marmite, but we weren’t brave enough (or at least, nobodyschild wasn’t) to try it yet... maybe someday. Just for fun I tried looking for the Marmite crisps—though as expected, no luck on that one... I think America just has too many of its own chips to bother importing any from elsewhere, which really is too bad; I had Fonzies while in Italy and paprika-flavored potato chips while in Germany, and I’d take those over Cheetos and BBQ Lay’s any day. Found HP sauce there too, though I didn’t buy it yet either cos I wouldn’t have the first idea what to do with it. I did at least pick up a box of HobNobs to try, since we’ve almost finished off the digestives. Oh, and I decided to leave behind a bit of shop art today...:

Try HP sauce as an alternative to tomato sauce but it is particularly good on a bacon sandwich or with sausages.

Is the "full English" breakfast something that people actually do at home in Britain? or is it just an offering at hotels
toast, beans, stewed prunes and tomato, mushrooms and a couple of bangers plus a nice cup of Yorkshire breakfast tea
haven't been to England in quite a few years, but that breakfast seemed to be the same at each hotel in Lincolnshire

Grroosss I think my grandad uses HP sauce as an alternative to A1 steak sauce? It typically goes on meaty things, I think. Hobnobs are great! Unfortunately I can't have the chocolate variety anymore, but those are the best.

I wouldn’t have a full English breakfast at home just in hotels, never heard of having prunes with it though. Ideally bacon, fried egg, Cumberland sausages, beans, black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms and maybe a hash brown all with brown or HP sauce. BIuebird A1 steak sauce is a similar style of sauce as HP.
