Wouldn't you say Irish people in?

We don't really...

no no we'll move here but we won't accept your ways we'll make love to your men we'll pay the odd bit of tax but we won't take your spreads is there is there an equivalently noxious spread in ireland

Again, the only spice is salt, so... Just butter, really.

It probably is butter.

It's the equivalent.

I don't think we do have an equivalent spread.

Marmalade is really big.

It's a real big, like, granddad's breakfast.

Apparently it came from Queen Marie of somewhere, or Mary, no, Queen Mary of probably England, I probably should have researched this at some point, was sick, and vitamin C is obviously in oranges, and her chef, who was French, was basically like, Marie, my lad, Mary is sick, and he made her like an orange concoction, and that was where marmalade came from.

I love that.

So is this QI or is this off menu?

Yeah, you know, there's like, oh, it's a bit Marmite for me, like you either hate it or you love it.

I'm sort of like, oh, it's not going to... The metaphor doesn't work with me.

Yeah, like, how was your day?

Marmite.

Yeah.

Fine.

Yeah, exactly.

No, it is a harder push.
