Life is so quiet

This week was a busy week, probably as much as the next one. FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) and South Korea's economy are crowding my life. Nothing interesting to tell, not many photographs, but an experience which has revolutionized my food's perception.


Oh, I am forgetting the show by Air and Aurevoir Simone... amazing.






Marmite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Marmite /ˈmɑːmaɪt/ is the name given to two similar food spreads, one produced in the United Kingdom and the other in New Zealand. Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. Marmite is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
The British version is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful taste. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it". It is similar to the Australian Vegemite, Swiss Cenovis. Bovril is a similar looking spread made from beef.
This distinctive product was originally British, but a version with a noticeably different taste has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1919, and this is the dominant version in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
The image on the front of the British jar shows a marmite (French, "large covered earthenware or metal cooking pot").[1] The British Marmite was originally supplied in earthenware pots, but has long been sold in glass jars that approximate the shape of such pots.[2] A thinner version in squeezable plastic jars was introduced in March 2006.



PS: temperature is higher in Birmingham than in Toulouse or Paris or Marseille... how wierd the world is...

Tu es donc la seul personne qui va voir un concert, et ou l'on ne sait pas ce que s'été, bizarre donc ^o) En tout cas je suis rassuré que le grand Philou sache se servir de l'instrument Wikipedia, je commencé à croire que tu n'étais pas un vrai étudiant :-)
