Butter in the marmite.

[lightlypoached]

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.

I'd never tried marmite before today.. I thought I'd try some on the back of this thread! Oh my god I've been missing out for 27 years!

Butter and Marmite together? On the same slice of toast? That's just wrong! It's either butter OR Marmite, not both?

Butter and marmite is the food of the gods Clevs ...

And I buy squeezy marmite for this reason. The end, unexpected fart of running out is avoided by always having a spare in the cupboard

What?! Marmite on its own? No always butter and marmite together!

I am guilty of getting butter in the marmite, I’m not going to use two knives for breakfast

It’s just NOT right, YANBU. Doesn’t affect me though, I live in a house of Marmite haters so have total control of the jar.

Once heard someone say ( think a film) that to judge new relationship just privately check marmite or jam jar. If butter in there it tells you everything you need to know. I don’t necessarily disagree . . .

@WineAndTiramisu
Genius.....runs off to buy spare squeezy Marmite. Remembers it's Sunday and adds to list

Yep, same problem here. I live with Philistines. And they thinking nothing of putting a wet spoon back in the sugar

What is this plain marmite on toast craziness i hear? Always with butter!

@newyoiker welcome to the wonderful —cult— world of Marmite. Am v chuffed that you’ve joined us.

Can’t abide the squeezy version. Its wrapped in plastic, farts, is runny and looks like meconium, rather like a newborn space baby alien thing

Oh whatalovelypair .....I think that is even worse!! Crusty bits of damp and filthy coffee grounds or powder in the sugar

I have tried doing this at home (using a hand held electric) as I though it would be much easier to spread , but I could not get the ratio right . plus been a clumsy sod half of a quarter of it ended up on the floor , much to DDogs delight

I am a definite - crumbs in the butter, marmite and jam person. As well as, marmite in the butter, jam in the butter, butter in the jam and butter in the marmite but never marmite in the jam or jam in the marmite.

I am training the next generation to be the same.

forgot to mention peanut butter....

Not the best really

Sole proprietor and consumer of this household's Marmite but I do have a Peanut Butter in the Marmalade problem. This has the spinoff issue of the culprit leaving the marmaladey-peanut-buttery knife in the sink after use before he leaves for work. This residue then dries into a concrete like coating almost impossible to remove without the use of an electric sander. I have threatened to LTB.

Just saying. Some of us have it far far worse, OP.

Bugger I forgot all about trying to to get the none squezzy marmite in to squezzy pot .To late to be faff arsing around with it now , may try tomorrow ( if i remember )

@RedRosie I think I may have to make my own marmitey butter 🤤

How about a marmite sandwich (glass jar only) with sliced Cox Apple in it? The mutts, honest😁

A few years ago, I started having random upset stomachs and realised it was only on days when I ate marmite at breakfast. DH thought I was making it up so ate some (didn't usually bother). He had awful stomach ache by dinner time. I replaced the marmite which was well in date and the problem went away. I've been eating marmite my entire life with nary a problem. Except for a few months, our routine had changed and DH had been making breakfast for me as I had newborn ds to bf and 4yo dd to get ready for school. He was using the buttery knife in the marmite. Make of that what you will.

Marmite butter - yes. I always thought they should bring it out as a thing ...
My son eats marmite and honey on toast

If anyone gets butter in whichever jar, or crap in the butter it goes in the bin and doesn't get replaced till next big shop. They rarely do it now.
