Food fit for Kings...
From the Guardian (12 Nov 94), re: Paul Ridout, one of the British backpackers kidnapped in India by Kashmiri separatists, and recently freed:
The first thing he had done after arriving home was to eat some Marmite on toast. "It was pretty good. It's just one of those things—you get out of the country and it's all you can think about."

I don't like marmite. Yuk :x
What is it? If kings eat it, it can't be good.

Don't worry, they prefer Vegemite.
You can make the stuff at home. It's not hard and it tastes better than the bottled stuff.

I thought this would be a thread about the dietary habits of members if the Sacramento Kings basketball team (chili dogs and coffee before games and such...)
Go Kings!

It's a top marmite link on Google, but it's so good I'll post it anyway:

A cat's bottom. And not a healthy cat.
Actually, it's kinda yeasty and salty. Nothing else tastes like it that I am aware of. It's ok.

The King's Breakfast
The King asked
The Queen, and
The Queen asked
The Dairymaid:
"Could we have some Marmite for
The Royal slice of bread?"
The Queen asked the Dairymaid,
The Dairymaid
Said, "Certainly,
I'll go and tell the cow
Now
Before she goes to bed."
The Dairymaid
She curtsied,
And went and told the Alderney:
"Don't forget the Marmite for
The Royal slice of bread."
The Alderney said sleepily:
"You'd better tell
His Majesty
That many people nowadays
Like marmalade
Instead."
The Dairymaid
Said "Fancy!"
And went to
Her Majesty.
She curtsied to the Queen, and
She turned a little red:
"Excuse me,
Your Majesty,
For taking of
The liberty,
But marmalade is tasty, if
It's very
Thickly
Spread."
The Queen said
"Oh!"
And went to his Majesty:
"Talking of the Marmite for
The royal slice of bread,
Many people
Think that
Marmalade
Is nicer.
Would you like to try a little
Marmalade
Instead?"
The King said,
"Bother!"
And then he said,
"Oh, deary me!"
The King sobbed, "Oh, deary me!"
And went back to bed.
"Nobody,"
He whimpered,
"Could call me
A fussy man;
I only want
A little bit
Of Marmite for
My bread!"
The Queen said,
"There, there!"
And went to
The Dairymaid.
The Dairymaid
Said, "There, there!"
And went to the shed.
The cow said,
"There, there!
I didn't really
Mean it;
Here's Nutella for his porringer
And Marmite for his bread."
The queen took the butter
And brought it to
His Majesty.
The King said
"Marmite, eh?"
And bounced out of bed.
"Nobody," he said,
As he kissed her
Tenderly,
"Nobody," he said,
As he slid down
The banisters,
"Nobody,
My darling,
Could call me
A fussy man -
BUT
I do like a little bit of Marmite to my bread!"
