AIBU to eat weetabix with...

[harriethoyle]

Butter and marmite? DH has just walked in mid-breakfast prep and is HORRIFIED! I've never eaten it any other way...

@tulippa you definitely need butter as well as marmite but you should try it and see!

The only way I like weetabix is dry with lots of butter. I don't like marmite, but if you do then it's really no different from adding jam or peanut butter. I've never known anyone else to like weetabix that way though

@GiantToadstool you just pick it up like a piece of toast. Because I just assumed this was a legit weetabix combo I never asked mum how she came by it and she died last year so that secret has been taken to the grave!

I used to often eat buttered weetabix. Haven't for ages and I now I fancy some. And with marmite 😁 yum

Weetabix spread with butter and dipped in sugar was eaten by me and my friend when we were young. We did it when there were no biscuits. (1970s children)

@WhereIsMyGlasses I've found my people with you and @JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue!

How do you spread the butter without it cracking?

@Awrite he's already smug enough I'm not telling him THAT!

Marmite is wrong. You need golden syrup (plus a good layer of salted butter). This was my favourite breakfast at boarding school 40+ years ago. Quite fancy it for a mid morning snack now….

You spread it whilst it is resting on the plate @clickychicky

Nope. Not acceptable.

Soften the butter first so it spreads like margarine.

Oooh no I used to love weetabix and butter as a kid! Never had it with marmite but, if you like it, go for it!

Or use margarine ... 😅

Yes! We put syrup on them too!

I have mine with peanut butter. So delicious. Never tried the butter and Marmite but I can totally see how that would work too.

Soggy weetabix is the blerst. On the occasions I have weetabix with milk instead of PB it's a desperate race to eat it while it still has some bite to it; if I misjudge and it gets to mush state it's all over red rover and in the bin.

I use lupark spreadable @TheSunShinesBrighter although I did see spreadable President in the coop last week which is butter goals...

We used to have weetabix with butter and marmite as kids, I loved it! I haven't had it for a long time though, maybe I will revisit it..!

Me too! When we were young it was softened butter (it was always left out of the fridge in a butter dish) or margarine.

Looks like we’re not the only ones (although in these pictures they’ve put too much butter on for my liking)...

Never done it with butter, but have done similar with butter and strawberry jam.
I do eat it with milk, but I don't use a lot of milk and tend to eat it before it's gone soggy. X

@opinionminion I don't like jam welcome aboard @buckleten!

Yes @TheSunShinesBrighter that is too much butter...
