To go home...FIL just made marmite toast without using any kind of butter 😱

[GiraffeCup]

Like seriously, he spread marmite in DRY toast.

The man is clearly insane and we can't stay here any longer.

Agreed. Don’t get me started on when I saw Mr Scarlet put butter under cheese that he then toasted. That’s just soft fat with hard fat and must be …slimy?!

Don't get me wrong, cheese on toast is a gift from the culinary gods, but buttering the semi-toasted bread? Nope.

Leave his house immediately and nail the door closed behind you.

Run to your house, lock it, eat the key, and nail your door closed from the inside.

It's the only way.

No problem with jam or marmalade straight on. But marmite? Just no.

In fact how much marmite are we talking? Did the toast just rip to shreds with the thin spreading or did he go all in peanut buttter style?

You monster!!

That’s the best way to have it though, pure marmite 🤤

This sounds lovely. I have it with cottage cheese.

Butter is definitely required on toast before putting Marmite on it. Otherwise, it will taste as if you're eating it on one of those boot-cleaning mats!

There are some monsters on here. Clearly toast needs butter, before adding anything else.

@GiraffeCup I never eat butter on anything!!! different if it is baked in a cake but I can taste it in mashed potatoes or if a steak has been fried in it. horrible stuff.

I tried to look on the bright side and point out at least it wasn’t Vegemite ! But really thinking about it there isn’t a bright side to this horrendous crime.

toast and marmite must have butter, not margarine - butter. Toast nice and brown cool but not cold thick layer of butter spread on but not scraped (mil would scrape) then a nice layer of marmite.

i can only hope your day got better

edit to add, I don’t add butter when I do marmite and cheese on toast, I love I marmite cheese toasty

M&S did cream cheese with Marmite in
It was very wrong

But their marmite hotcross buns. Top

I am surprised to find people put butter on marmite toast🙈

Is he American?
They do funny things like that.
Seem to think butter is just for cooking.

@GiraffeCup you are clearly a weirdo.

Hot toast doesn't need anything added to the Marmite (exceot extra Marmite) because it melts beautifully and spreads well. It's only if you've let it go cold that you need butter or - shudder - other spreads. The Marmite purity does noit need to be disrupted on hot toast.

Once the temperature heads to tepid, yes, butter is required.

Marmite in any form is a war crime.

It is just plain wrong, I suspect he failed to spread it all the way to the crusts and did not make soldiers. I think you may have to send for the priest as this is not natural... it may be demonic possession...

Just....how?! How do you spread Marmite on dry toast?!

I like toast cold enough that the butter doesn’t melt, buttered almost thick enough to see tooth marks when you bite it, with lashings of marmalade. Sadly, since being diagnosed type 2 diabetic, toast and marmalade are but a distant memory.

Please get out now before it’s too late !!

My American friends says I'm gross for buttering bread with any kind of topping or filling before hand .
Jam ( jelly ) only.. peanut butter only.
Fillings it's mayonnaise no butter.

My youngest teen DS has started doing this now he’s making his own breakfast. I exclaimed in horror ‘where’s the butter??!!’ when I saw him do it for the first time. Then spent the rest of the day giving him the side eye, wondering if he was in fact MY child, strapping beauty that he is, or was swapped with a straight up marmite monster that time the midwives insisted on taking him to admire him while I nipped for a post birth shower.

He insists it tastes better without butter so the suspicion is still lingering.

Butter on ALL bread goods EXCEPT with jam or any other fruit topping is the LAW.

Marmite is minging in any shape or form
Peanutbutter straight on bread or toast ideally with jelly ( jam to most although grape jelly is wondrous thing ) in order to become PBJ never BPBJ.
Philadelphia on toasted bagel topped with chili jam relish or even cranberry sauce is a thing .
And so say all of US . 😛

Almost as bad as not liking marmite at all.
Or being like my uncle and not allowing it on the table

Peanut butter is all wrong because the more you chew it the harder it gets to swallow!

It flies in the face of how food should behave.

Marmite on toast? Yum.
Marmite on butter on toast? Spew.
