Marmite

[Frenchgirl]

Why?????
by which I mean: what is its point? and what can you do with it?

A few weeks ago i cryed the whole day because my sister asked to borrow my video card!!!!

mmmm marmite on toast, nothing better . DH won't come near me if I've eaten it (useful on occasion...)

I remember giving marmite to a class of French school kids in a lesson when we were talking about english food. You would have thought I was making them drink petrol. Serve 'em right for all the sarky remarks about british cooking!

Just remembered - put it on toast and scrambled egg on top - lovely

Marmite and crunchy peanut butter sandwiches.

My first birthday cake was a double decker marmite sandwich cut into a circle with a single candle apparently. I still love it, so does dd, but dp hates it.

However I have just remembered one other thing about marmite. My dad who was rather pedantic insisted that I had to pronounce it MARMEET - apparently that is the proper pronunciation of the pot that gives the spread its name. It took me years after I'd left home to pronounce it MARMIGHT - and at last feel normal!

58 posts on Marmite...is there anything you lot don't talk about?!

Marmite is very important and does tend to divide people, as you now obviously know

Thick white toast, lots of butter, and the merest scraping of Marmite - can't believe anyone eats it out of the jar with a spoon...yeaccck!

I agree with you MM - dp as a marmite hater once made dd her marmite sandwich and I had to grab it out of her hands as he had no idea that you (in my humble opinion) just spread it on really thinly. As for eating out of a jar, I am amazed.

Oooooooooh!! Prettycandles. I've only got smooth. Know what you mean

I have to e-mail this thread with a jar of marmite to some french newspapers...... hehehe

mrsflowerpot I am appalled!!! How unfair, we give the world champagne, you give french students marmite! was it punishment?

YUM but not english marmite... Sanitarium marmite imo is far superior.

i like it with butter on toast... with sliced apple on toast and with melted cheese.. which we call mouse traps... YUM

can use it like stock in a casserole

Fascinating Marmite fact!!!!!!1

Put some marmit on a plate and hit it repeatedly with a teaspoon. IT WILL TURN WHITE!

Have just had marmite toast, lovely. Even better on crumpets. And useful as a base for chilli etc. if you are veggie. Add it to most savoury dishes, tbh. Even sometimes make myself a Marmite drink a la Bovril.
Thanks for the tip about mashed potato, will have to try that

wow really muddaofsuburbia .. will have to tell Wobblyknicks she loves experiments like that!

Thanks paps and mudda - would try that but I haven't got any marmite, will have to get some later and try!!!

It must just be marmite....I have just tried it with Tesco's Yeast Exract, and it did not go white but left a sticky mess and a spoon stuck on a saucer....it did seem to thicken.
(have left it on the side for someone else to wash up and I am going to deny all knowledge of it )
I must get some Marmite today, the cheapo Yeast extract is no comparisom......

i just had marmite with avocado and cream cheese toast.. need i say it YUM
