you could also try mixing it with the stuffing, which may work well.

somthing that does work well is mixing marmite into mash. yummy!

I think there's a "German foods" section in one of the local stores. I'll see if there's any Marmite in it. That website is a trip! If I find out that I really hate the stuff, I'm sure I can use it to torment the guests the next time I have to contribute a "homemade dish" for an obligatory department party.

I've seen it in the "Irish foods" section (most of which is of UK origin) in local stores, but my only impression is that it's some sort of darkish mystery glop in a tiny jar, which suggests it could be a lot of things. The name is not appealing. Is it a British thing I wouldn't understand? A question from a curious Yank:

At least, she was the only person I saw actually washing up during the day, and by the time you lot had scarpered there were only two loads of washing up to be done, minimising handwrinkle nicely.

Basically face down = juice in breast = moist breast! Also the arse has greater crispy skin area. Apologies about the pan.
