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

That's like having a sausage & banana pizza. Envy

Am I the only one who likes Weetabix soggy then?

Lots of milk, microwave to achieve peak sogginess, sugar on top. Yummm

pinkstinks · 01/08/2021 10:51

Mmm yes it’s how I eat mine - little glass of milk on the side - the only way, never gross and soggy!

TheNinjaWife · 01/08/2021 10:51

Out of all things edible, weetabix is literally the last thing I would choose to eat in any form! Even the smell makes me heave. My DH and Dd are the same. We all love marmite though.

Ahhh, I loved wheatabix with better and marmite when I was younger! Haven't had it in years. YANBU!

I wouldn't eat it with butter as I only like butter on hot food, but it's nice with Vegemite.

AbsolutelyPatsy · 01/08/2021 10:56

one of my earliest memories, aged about 4, is having weetabix with syrup with my bf

@RandomMess

YABU to eat weetabix full stop, it's vile Grin
So much THIS.

Every day we move a little further away from God...

If you've never eaten any other way how come your husband has never noticed it before?

LindaEllen · 01/08/2021 10:59

I'll admit I've never tried it with butter and marmite, but honestly, it's sounds horrific! YABVVVVVVVVVVVU!

Musicaltheatremum · 01/08/2021 11:01

My dad puts butter on it!

@Janaih

Biscuit
Has that biscuit got butter and marmite on it? Grin
harriethoyle · 01/08/2021 11:03

@Chikapu I don't eat it very often and he just happened to have bought some for the dsd so I tucked in with alacrity! He already despairs of my bovril on toast habit...

Butter and jam here, have done since I was a child

tiredanddangerous · 01/08/2021 11:04

My DM used to give us weetabix with butter on back in the 80s so I guess it is a thing!

hyperbole001 · 01/08/2021 11:04

[quote harriethoyle]@SpacePug no, it's just like eating cold toast. My mum always used to make our weetabix like this and all my sibs eat it this way too. Never with milk![/quote]
Are you pretending to not know that it's a breakfast cereal? I'm confused

harriethoyle · 01/08/2021 11:05

@tiredanddangerous I am a child of the 80s...! I'm confused by your confusion @hyperbole001?

My ex used to eat Weetabix with butter on. I hate Weetabix anyway but this made me shudder. And Marmite can go to hell.

Tusue · 01/08/2021 11:07

Personally 😊it’s up to you !
If that’s how you like it that’s how you should have it
As for the husband -ignore him ,what’s it got to do with him !
you know what they say ,don’t knock it till you’ve tried it -although I wouldn’t even try it myself😉

Orangesandlemons82 · 01/08/2021 11:08

I like them with butter and jam Blush

LobotomisedIceSkatingFan · 01/08/2021 11:08

My mum used to to butter Weetabix for her lunch. It was when she was a) a librarian and b) in the 60s/70s which outs rather a different complexion on things. I think Marmite is a step too far although I can't explain why.

harriethoyle · 01/08/2021 11:09

You're missing out @Tusue! Grin

Another one that hates soggy cereal. Butter on weetabix was always a favourite! Especially with Nutella on it

I'm a child of the 80's too, not sure what relevance that has... Did you have no idea weetabix is a cereal?
