Default Re: Look before you leap
As with everything, it's horses for courses. Some people love NZ and some people are less than enthusiastic and on this forum we want to hear both sides so we can take it all on board before making our own judgement. In this case I think it was just unfortunate that Clare's way of expressing herself and taking exception to what others have written came across rather badly. Personally I thought it was a pretty balanced debate and couldn't see why she reacted in this way.

Macfod, if I remember rightly, we bought some Our Mate when we were last in NZ and found it to be OK. Perhaps we just don't have cultured taste buds :D. I know that Marmite in NZ is not the right one and as I haven't tried it, I can't comment on its taste. I'll no doubt be sampling Our Mate when we arrive again in 2 weeks' time so I'll pay extra attention to the flavour and let you know.
