I love marmite. Really. On toast, crumpets, in sandwiches etc. However, AIBU to think that it shouldn't be spread on thickly like jam? DH clearly thinks that's the way it should be when he presented me with my crumpet with an inch of marmite! Grin

Vegemite is far superior, so YABU.

No, it must be a scraping, a mere brush with, a slight waft of marmite.

neuromantic - only if you are comparing it to 'down under' marmite and not the real stuff!! Marmite 'down under' is a totally different beast to UK marmite.

So many suggestions to try .... hmmmmmm

Andrew - so you're not a huge fan then?

Halcyondays - I'm the only one eating it here and it's lasts nano seconds Grin

I despise marmite. But love marmite cheddar. Weird.

Marmite must be spread t-h-i-n-l-y, yes very thinly in fact, as if you are spreading er, Marmite.

The label on my small jar reads:-
?126g Delicious spread thinly on toast ? made from Yeast ? the richest natural source of B Vitamins. Sore in a cool dark place. This jar contains approx 53,173 servings? (slight exaggeration).

Marmite does, however, have an unfortunate side effect which we tend to keep rather quiet about. A short while ago I had to turn the Marmite jar round in order to read the label and now my fingers smell of Marmite, the cupboard door smells of Marmite from when I closed it, the door to the pantry also smells of Marmite along with the door to the kitchen, the door to my office, my mouse, my keyboard, my tea cup, the TV remote control, my pencil, my dog is restless and my tea tastes funny.

However, you may be reassured to know that in a crazy world of Neutrinos and Higgs Boson (possibly), Marmite is the only true constant.

The Marmite Theory of Migratory Evolution:- No moveable item, when moved from its current position of gravitational rest, will ever be returned to its immediately previous position unless it happens to be a jar of Marmite.

Marmite may be used:-

a) As a contraceptive
She, (to amorous Male) ?I?ve just made some Marmite sandwiches?.
He, ?Oh, er, is that the time? I really must be going?.

b) As a ?detector?
Husband, ?What would you like on your toast this morning dear??
She, ?Marmite and Kippers please darling!?

YABU to try to dictate how other people should take their marmite.

Marmite may be used:
c) as a yummy prelude to naughty stuff Wink

Used to work with a girl who stirred marmite into her porridge.
