    Tia's joy at the big things and Cheveyo's obvious disdain for them are both hilarious 😂

    My, how far (most literally) the two former baristas have come... how wonderful their travels have been, and so beautifully documented for us to witness!

    Maybe Tia should start a Big Things postcard series! She gets so tickled, which makes me laugh. (But I love the nature ones - gorgeous.)

    Love that you stopped at the ‘big’ sheepdog & ram in Tirau… there’s heaps more to find as you travel around - the carrot, the gumboot, the L&P bottle, the crayfish, the salmon… the ‘Simpson’s’ donut (Springfield) to name a few 😅

    @joshhayes2169 9 месяцев назад +3

    There's a fairly subtle difference between Marmite and Vegemite. My preference is Vegemite. Several years ago there was an earthquake that damaged the manufacturing plant that made Marmite, resulting in a shortage of Marmite known as Marmageddon. I just watched Josh and Lisa's vid on NZ, and finally learned the origin story of the car plant!

    My guess is the town you're in that smells of eggs, is one or near one of the volcanic townships (e.g. Rotarura). Their power stations use the heat of the earth to make sustainable electricity!

    For Vegemite you have to have HOT buttered toast -with the butter actually melted through. Then the thinest smear of vegemite -never thick like peanut butter. Cover the toast, but only a few molecules thick. Best late night snack in the world! Love that you visited the dog and sheep at Tirau. Tia for scale!

      @gingerdrake9158 9 месяцев назад +5

      For a first timer it really does have to be the skimpiest amount possible with lots of butter 95% butter with 5% vegemite. It really would taste horrible when your brain is thinking it's going to be sweet.

    Marmite is New Zealand made and our only home made yeast spread .. There's very few cupboards/pantries in nz that doesn't have a jar or two of Marmite..
    Marmite has barley, oat and rye whereas Vegimite has wheat and barley.
    Hence that bite you taste only in Marmite. There's so many uses besides just on toast\bread\butter.

    You need a better butter to Marmite ratio, smother the toast with Butter,so it softens,and then spread a bit of Marmite over it, so much better.

    Way back in the early 2000s when i went to NZ and wanted to go to Matamata to visit the hobbiton set, the original set was basically only holes…the farm owner didnt want the film set keep and wanted to have the farm returned to its original state. Obviously realised a film set attraction is a better investment 😂 but very impressed with the attention to detail…also agree with the person that mentioned the Vegemite to butter ratio…if you’ve never had Vegemite before, you need more butter than vegemite. Also i find that marmite is a lot more “runnier” than vegemite…and vegemite is superior 😊
