    @Sturgist honestly I like the sound of the sandwich more than the glass of milk! I’ve never really understood big cups of milk (my kids love them though). But as a marmite aficionado I am totally on board with you-do-you sandwich combinations.

      Maybe slightly lactose intolerant? I can guzzle milk, cheese is no issue, but cooked milk, custard and stuff, kills me.

      Highly recommend peanut butter and mayo sandwiches! If you can find the Japanese mayo brand Kewpie, it’s highly superior.

        @Sturgist yes I am!
        I have heard good things about kewpie! But I have *also* heard British people say it tastes just like something we have here called salad cream, which is bewildering as nobody under about 70 would generally admit to liking salad cream

          I live in Scotland. Anyone who tells you Kewpie tastes like salad cream needs to stop drinking petrol…
          I guess there’s a bit of a similar umami to both, Kewpie because it’s made with dashi (seaweed and fish stock) though it doesn’t have enough to taste of dashi…if that makes sense.

          I assume salad cream has something like an 80 year fermentation period before it’s “done” stuff is mingin 🤮

            @Sturgist it’s absolutely rank 😂 that gives me more confidence to bother buying some kewpie. Think they sell it in Sainsbury’s…

              I’d look for an Asian supermarket. Pretty sure they do sell it at Sainsbury’s, but I think the last time I was too lazy to go further than Sainsbury’s I ended up paying £2-3 more than at the Asian market.
