Jacq's Logging Project Discussion

[danpickard]

I would probably want to go to a clinic on railway sandwiches, mainly out of curiosity to see how many anorak's would be sitting in the group

Well , we can count you as number one , and I'm sure Mario will be in attendance . So we're doing ok so far .

The topic of sandwiches sounds far more interesting than the usual convention clinic topics. And the crowd (both of them) might provide some refreshing heckling. I might fly out for this one. If creativity is permitted, I could propose some interesting sandwich flavo(u)rs along with a variety of exciting condiments. -- Russ

  If Mario is involved I'm sure there is going to be lots of heckling . But I can handle Mario !

  Yes , a Sandwich Symposium sounds like it could be a winner . Do they allow the import of Marmite to Australia , or is it regarded as a Banned Substance ? If you don't know what Marmite is , you must have lived a very sad and sheltered life .

Will there be tasty bits of the various sandwiches for sampling? 

Never had Marmite or Vegemite..sounds most interesting....like a delicate Spam or Liverwurst I suppose.

I think I may have a pertifed one of those 1-euro salami sandwiches they sell at the Berlin S-Bahn platforms, that I can contribute to your lecture.

   Marmite couldn't be further away from either of those two .

   Think of thick black axle grease spread on with a trowel and you're getting close . It is one of those tastes that you either love or hate . There is no inbetween . Over here it has become a term used to describe the two extreme points of view .For instance , I think of Joanna Newsom as "The Marmite Girl" , you either love her music , or you hate it . In her case , I love it and the rest of my family hate it !

  But I digress .

Nick,
If you turn up and start presenting a clinic on "Railway Sandwiches from 1980-2010", I'll happily present you with the biggest jar of Vegemite I can find...unless you are concerned about sore arms and shoulders from working for Jacq, and wont be able to carry it home

I don't think making 1000s of bricks for Jacq will make me that sore so I should have enough strength left in me to drag a jar of Vegemite home . Though I was hoping that my suitcase would be lighter on my return journey after having dumped a load of my junk on the unsuspecting Oz NG modellers .

Vegemite sounds yummy. Have you tried it as mortar? -- Russ

... that's the harp player, performing some kinda so called freak folk ... isn't she?!

[Alan Rees]

Marmite (and I presume the same goes for Vegemite)  comes from the dregs you get after making beer. In Germany and Switzerland we feed this to the pigs and  look forward to enjoying a tasty ham sandwich at a later date.

Is Jacq coming to the Sandwich Convention? I could bring one of my favourites - cold baked beans with added tomato sauce and chutney? Shame Melbourne is so far away from Brisbane!

[shropshire lad]

Shame Melbourne is so far away from Brisbane!

It's a booger sight closer than South Shropshire in England . So if I can make the effort ( which is yet to be seen ) then I'm sure you can !
