Like seriously, he spread marmite in DRY toast. The man is clearly insane and we can't stay here any longer.

Butter is definitely required on toast before putting Marmite on it. Otherwise, it will taste as if you're eating it on one of those boot-cleaning mats!

I have had marmite at least daily for most of my 45 years and never had butter with it…
however, a crazy South African pal introduced me to Philadelphia on a toasted sesame bagel (marmite on one half, Philly on the other, meld together and let them melt/merge), and that was love at first (reluctant) bite

This sounds lovely. I have it with cottage cheese.

That’s the best way to have it though, pure marmite 🤤

YABU. Is it just marmite on toast you feel this way about?

Is toast with only jam ok? (I never have butter and jam on toast!)

You monster!!

SparrowFeet · 30/03/2025 21:45

No problem with jam or marmalade straight on. But marmite? Just no.

In fact how much marmite are we talking? Did the toast just rip to shreds with the thin spreading or did he go all in peanut buttter style?

Leave his house immediately and nail the door closed behind you.

Run to your house, lock it, eat the key, and nail your door closed from the inside.

It's the only way.

One of the major incompatibilities in my relationship is whether you have butter under peanut butter…

Agreed. Don’t get me started on when I saw Mr Scarlet put butter under cheese that he then toasted. That’s just soft fat with hard fat and must be …slimy?!

Don't get me wrong, cheese on toast is a gift from the culinary gods, but buttering the semi-toasted bread? Nope.

Just jam on toast? Fine.

Just peanut butter on toast? Fine as long as its not Aldi seeded sourdough which is so dry and crumbly it would mix with the peanut butter and turn into cement.

Just marmite on toast? You have either deeply offended this man, or found yourself a family of perverts who would think nothing of eating wire wool covered in battery acid. Run.

Just jam on toast? Some one get the smelling salts... I'm feeling ever so... faint...

Toast always needs a layer of butter before the toppings, I especially love it when it slightly melts and make she toppings a but runny. Peanut butter is a perfect example, some people only out peanut butter on but that way it's too thick in my book!

Totally agree it’s claggy without a bit of melted butter.

FML - leave IMMEDIATELY and dump the BF as he's obviously of a really odd human substrain.

If you stay with him and procreate your children will have fully plush body hair like a pelt and one eye in the centre. Probably.

Not worth the risk TBH. Better make sure.

DD does have a funny gait and a squinty eye now I think about it...

You should gave left when you realised he ate marmite full stop.

You can swap places with me with talk like that

TerroristToddler · 30/03/2025 21:37

Hate marmite so no idea about that…

but I am another who has jam and no butter. The two don’t work for me. One or the other is fine. For peanut butter I’d never add extra butter - I’d just spread PB directly on the toast and then add a dollop of jam!

What?!? That is so strange. You need the butter to soften the bread first and then the jam/marmite/peanut butter etc melts in.
