Marmite

[Jimmy's A Legend]

Do you love or do you not love? That is the question.

I just googled it to see what it was; haven't tried it yet

[MHD]

Hahaha what a coincidence! I had some today on some Ryvitas. First time for ages. I don't love it or hate it...I'm an exception and in the middle. I eat it as it's nil fat and low calories, not because it's delish.

Is it anything like vegemite? Because I hate Vegemite.

I don't love or hate the taste but I have a strange sentimental affection for Marmite. When we lived in southern Africa and our children were in a creche they were served Marmite and butter on bread. When we were on the road down there (traveling long distances in remote areas), I always carried a jar of Marmite would serve it on crackers to our children, followed by Smarties for dessert. If I happen to be in a shop that sells Marmite, for nostagia's sake, I will buy a jar. Even without tasting it, the smell and the texture of Marmite evokes those days.

Love it. A marmite & cheese toasted sandwich is what I have for breakfast.

God, yes. Starbucks do/did a lovely panini breakfast one.

I remember having an operation when I was five and being completely insistant that I have marmite on toast once I was able to eat again.

I have a jar of it and don't know what to do with it.

Any suggestions/recipes?

If you just wanna try it out just butter some toast and spead it on. You don't have to use butter, but it spreads better with it. It's for the acquired taste, so if you spread a thin amount on, you may like it better. It can be very salty otherwise.

Or you could have a cheese sandwich (toasted or not) and spread some marmite on that.

It works well with crackers and savoury biscuits.

Some people disolve it in water to make a drink or soup.

I'll try it in a cup of hot water.

Thanks!

No problem. I'd suggest using a small spooning of it first. Nothing more than a teaspoon, otherwise it gets too much.

Love the stuff--stagger back with jars of it whenever I visit the UK. Marmite soldiers--mmmm!

However I think you probably have to be raised on it not to hate it.

Will do. It's got a lot of vitamins too ey?

Per 4g serving:

# Thiamin – 0.23 mg – 16.6 % RDA

# Riboflavin – 0.28 mg – 17.5 % RDA

# Niacin – 6.4 mg – 35.6 % RDA

# Folic Acid – 100 µg – 50.0 % RDA

So, eat up, kids. It's good for you!

I think i only had vegemite the once but *i think* that marmite is a little saltier (could be the other way round)

As for me i go on and off it

[Jimmy's A Legend]

Ok for all those who like the stuff (which appears to be most of you) Maramite and champagne is quite nice...(i just remebered my dad giving me some of valentines day and it being good.)

But like i said in my perious post, i go on and off it.

I've never even heard of Marmite, much less tasted it, but I do love Smarties! Will you be my mommy?

[slave to zep]

"we're happy little vegemites

as bright as bright can be

[Medhb]

Hi Mad~~ You know that saying "it's never too late to have a happy childhood". I was thinking how cool it would be to have a mom who gave me Smarties for dessert. A sister or friend would fit the bill too. My little sis and I used to have tea parties with our dolls & stuffed animals (plus one bro who would crash the party when he found out candy was involved). We would take a Smartie and put one of those chocolate Dots on top and imagine we were high society.

Anyone want to have a tea party??
