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

You say DH. Have you never had breakfast together before, for him to just be horrified now?

harriethoyle · 01/08/2021 11:20

I know weetabix is a cereal, yes @hyperbole001. What of it? Already explained that up thread @Bloodypunkrockers

harriethoyle · 01/08/2021 11:25

Jam! Butter and jam! It was a luxury caravan brekkie in our family

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 01/08/2021 11:29

Butter and jam. Or just butter.l

@AbsolutelyPatsy, they are a bit fiddly to put toppings on but much less messy to eat .

ShootingStar94 · 01/08/2021 11:39

I've never found anyone else to eat weetabix with butter! I love it and my husband is baffled. Although friends have agreed it's good when I've convinced them to try it Grin

OneWildNightWithJBJ · 01/08/2021 11:54

@opinionminion my dad brought us up to have butter and jam too! Op, I don’t think Marmite is totally crazy. I could never have Weetabix with milk. That’s just horrible!

bizzieb33 · 01/08/2021 12:07

Weetabix with lots of butter and marmalade fan here, also brought up using Bovril as a spread and was horrified to think of people using it to make a drink..!

@harriethoyle just had to have some marmite on toast to quench my craving as we currently have no weetabix 🤣

@TheSunShinesBrighter

Or use margarine ... 😅
Noooooooooo. Always butter 👌🏽😁
DontWiltMySpinachPlease · 01/08/2021 12:14

I like mine with hot milk, mushed to a consistency that I can hold upside down above my head without it falling on my head 😁

I do not eat it unless I'm alone 😂

safclass · 01/08/2021 12:23

Personally couldn't do it, but my SiL eats them with just butter!

Albern · 01/08/2021 12:52

When I was a kid my mum used to give me buttered weetabix with golden syrup !!

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 01/08/2021 12:54

Whilst (as a marmite lover) I do not think that it sounds awful. And I could possibly imagine eating it if I had no bread in, I do not understand, OP, why you would not prefer a nice thick slice of bread or toast to put your butter and marmite on? !!

Taoneusa · 01/08/2021 13:01

My aunt always gave us thickly buttered weetabix! What a revelation!

Not soggy!

Hankunamatata · 01/08/2021 13:02

Friends dad has his with marmalade

GrasssInPocket · 01/08/2021 21:34

I used to eat Weetabix spread with butter, but draw the line at Marmite!

Babyroobs · 01/08/2021 21:45

Very odd. Weetabix and banana and cold milk is the correct way to eat it.

#triggerwarning 🤢🤢🤮🤮😂😂

mogsrus · 02/08/2021 08:44

Sounds like a fairground challenge. Eat it in a minute and win a cuddly toy.
