Rain drops on roses, and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

none better :alc:

Hi Marval and thank you. Indeed, after Mike's helpful link, I am dying to try a crumpet; I just have to figure out where in New York I can find a store which sells it. I guess I'll go on-line and do a search. Wish me luck! Steve

You might find them in the local supermarket - generally near the rolls and muffins. I like them done in a toaster oven with strips of cheese on top, and perhabs some bacon strips added later - with some chow-chow on top. ATB!

Hi Buchpteclare. Thanks for the tip on where to find crumpets. One question remains, however: what in the hell is "chow-chow":confused:

There are two types I know about. No, wait - three. Green tomato, or red tomato, and a fruit type. It's not sweet, but it's not a pickle type of thing either. I melt strong cheese on the muffun, then add the chow-chow on top. The brand I have here is 'Habitant', though there are others. ATB! :grin:

Hi Corno Dolce and Happy New Year to you and your family. I was just wondering what a "vegemite" is. Might it be some kind of vegetable concoction?:confused: Just wondering, that's all. If it is something to eat, I just hope you enjoy it. :D wk

If I may just make a comment:
In NZ it is the equivalent to Marmite "a spread and a flavouring for other dishes, be interesting to see what it is in Russia :)

Marval, you'll make an Englishman out of me yet! I am familiar with Trader Joe's having shopped there with my sister; she goes there often. Now that I know what "chow-chow" is, I can rest somewhat easier. I had thought it was some kind of pet food!:eek::rolleyes: Anyway, thanks for all the useful links you sent my way.

Hi Colin and thanx for the 411 on marmite; but what flavor spread is that? Is it like peanut butter or Nutella in this country?

Steve I have tried both vegomite and marmite and I would say the flavor is hmmmmmm.....let's see hmmmmmmmmm...........................well it's kind of..............hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ahhhhhhh well kind of like a SALT spread. Yeah that's it. Consistency of applebutter but tastes really very very very salty. :)

Remember a song from the early 80's ~ I think the group was called Men At Work and the song was Down Under. They comment about a Vegemite sandwhich.
Here's a youtube of it:
