Ryvita

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I'm afraid I am unable to vote as I actually like it but never remember to buy it, so I don't fall in any of the categories. It is nice with peanut butter and jam.

Oh Stevey boy, Stevey boy, because you share a name with me, and because so far you're the only one brave enough to speak out in favour of Ryvita, I've added a poll option just for you.

And of course the perfect (and slightly more subtle) Antipodean cousin to Marmite - a perfect accompanyment.

Most supermarkets sell it Ryan. And of course the Aussie shop in LOndon.

Dunno, but you Islanders have a weird definition of the word 'yummy things you can try to eat'.
Within a coppola years you guys are all drooling fer this too:

Why don't you peeps start trying EDIBLE food for a change, like this:

Yes, peeps, they are called FRENCH FRIES. Chips are that lame attempt at copying continental food... ;-)
The other thing besides it is called BEEFSTEAK (as in genuine meat, no offense Quiffy et al...)

Just to tell ya all, I've been to England thrice in my whole darn life and every time I'm praying to my personal guardian angel St. Immodium that he/she exists...

Dark Rye is the best, genuinely yummy. I have some in front of me right now.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I appear to be in good company with Steve and Mr Fiend. Ryvita spread with real boota on the dimply side, for that extra cholesterol hit, topped with Marmite (sorry Steve).
Go to sleep now, Francis.

Don't get me wrong Harry - I'm not saying I don't like it. By god, I do. But I just find Vegemite slightly easier on the palette.
It stems from a disturbing childhood memory of my father spreading it on far too thick and making me eat it.

The secret when spreading it on toast is, of course, to let the toast go cold first and then an all together more even spread is the end product.

Just don't let your Mum catch you putting it in the fridge to speed the process along.

Remionds me of the old parental teatime argument;

Me:"Ow, this is really hot."
Mum: "Do you want me to put it in the fridge?"
