Butter in the marmite.

Just that really. What does it take to use a separate knife so we don't end up with lumps of butter in the Fucking marmite?

You need not comment if you hate marmite. Grin

Better than Marmite in the butter!

CasperGutman · 23/09/2018 21:26

Not great. Better than Marmite in the butter though!

CasperGutman · 23/09/2018 21:26

LOL, great minds!

Sparklingbrook · 23/09/2018 21:27

Also toast crumbs in the butter. Angry

SecretNutellaFix · 23/09/2018 21:28

It's as bad as butter in the jam.

Hatstand · 23/09/2018 21:28

Butter in the marmite I can live with. Butter in the jam makes me heave.

But YANBU to warn the marmite haters away Grin

Drives me chuffing mad. I buy the squeezy one for this very reason. I live with monsters.

bottledatsource · 23/09/2018 21:29

I tried buying the squeezy jars to avoid this but got even more pissed off with them as you have no idea when you are running out it just farts at you one morning and you have to cut the bastard thing open to scrape out the remains. Butter in the marmalade gives me the rage too.

spugzbunny · 23/09/2018 21:29

I'm always getting butter in the marmite. Shock

Unescorted · 23/09/2018 21:30

And definitely better than butter in the Vegemite.. because that means the toast was too cold when the butter went on.

MsHomeSlice · 23/09/2018 21:30

who is this monster you have to live with?

Shock
DinoGreen · 23/09/2018 21:34

I'm a culprit I'm afraid. I'm not going to dirty two knives making my toast. It's only a little bit of butter Grin

bottledatsource · 23/09/2018 21:35

I have however solved my dilemma. There's Marmite in the cupboard and then there's my secret Marmite hidden on top of the fridge freezer muahahaha

This happened to me this morning SSOOOO annoying ! my local shop did not have the squeezy bottle in so I bought a normal one and am considering putting it the empty squeezy one

TheFaerieQueene · 23/09/2018 21:39

I use the squeezy version because of this very problem.
I know I know. I will hang my head in shame.

bottledatsource · 23/09/2018 21:41

@Angie169
Blimey Angie that's going above and beyond. Let me know if it works though

Angie169 · 23/09/2018 21:49

I will keep you all posted on my Marmite experiment , ( tomorrow ) although I may have sticky / buttery / crumby fingers so please excuse the typos Grin Grin

Lavalamped · 23/09/2018 21:49

I hate this too! This is why I buy the squeeze one now. People can't be trusted to use a separate knife otherwise Angry

BikeRunSki · 23/09/2018 21:55

“There’s Marmite in the butter!” was always my dad’s battlecry against the tedium of family life.

MrsCatE · 23/09/2018 21:59

I think you would get off on a Manslaughter charge. Dino I have a beady eye on you and your habits [shudder].

DrFoxtrot · 23/09/2018 22:04

Crumbs in the butter or butter in the jam/ marmite is a LTB worthy event Angry what is wrong with people?!

RedRosie · 23/09/2018 22:05

(Possibly unhelpful)

There's a café near us that does marmite butter (butter whipped up with marmite) to go with dippy eggs and soldiers.

It's wonderful. Grin

CanYouHearThat · 23/09/2018 22:10

Oohhh marmite...really fancy some now

Ethylred · 23/09/2018 22:10

If it's squeezy it's not proper Marmite.
Fact, and I'm a scientist so I kno.
