Marmite and raspberry jam, trust me!

It also works well with chickpeas too.

Oh god I'm not sure I could cope with that!

In France in the summer I was served burrata with strawberries and an aniseed dressing. I was a bit sceptical but it was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted.

That sounds amazing - I had burrata with peaches and pine nuts, with a drizzle of vanilla syrup the other week and I thought I had won the day.

Oh. I'm not very original because I came here to say... cheese and jam. Any cheese, any jam, any combination. Probably any cheese and any fruity thing?

I used to make Wensleydale and marmalade sandwiches when I was a teen. I loved them. Haven't had one in forty years.

Crikeyalmighty · 13/11/2025 23:41

Crisp sandwiches

Dustyblue · 13/11/2025 23:41

The cheese and fruit thing makes sense to me. But at the supermarket the other day I saw a cheddar with shards of toffee in it. uh no thankyouverymuch.

Melon and ground grinder

Waitingfordoggo · 13/11/2025 23:42

Oh gosh @Arlanymor, that sounds delicious too.

Dustyblue · 13/11/2025 23:43

Australian here- out of curiosity is marmite very similar to vegemite? For those who've tried both.

Hummous spread inside a hot pitta with grated carrot.

Corned beef, onion and brown sauce sarnies

It’s amazing. Try the lime pickle from M&S. I’m addicted to it.

Goats cheese with curry or lime pickle works too. It shouldn’t but it does.

So gorgeous, definitely try it!

Chips, cheese and curry sauce.

And my favourite pizza toppings together are anchovies, pineapple and mushrooms. It’s a wonderful mix.

I’ve tried both. I slightly prefer Vegemite but if it makes sense I feel Marmite is a “darker” taste and Vegemite feels lighter and saltier to me. Treat them both the same way on toast and they’re both amazing though.

Cheese on toast with horseradish sauce.

Honestly. Its best either thr nice chickpeas, like the bold ones, but also works with the cheap 50p ones. I made dome this week, added some toasted flaked almonds too. Brilliant in wraps with green salad.

You just reminded me that grated carrots and cheese are a great combination.

Hmmm interesting! I’ll try that. Love goats cheese.

Dark chocolate digestives, with Brie.

Marmite and peanut butter on toast!

My ex liked marmite & peanut butter together. I LOVE both, but not together.

i agree with everything else, so far...(up to that post)

cant think of anything else to add, but i kniw i eat loads of combos that others might not.🤣 (all vegetarian though)

Peanut butter, cheese and jam sandwiches. Only when doing a long cycle ride.

Better still on crumpets & with a good coffee!

waltzingparrot · 14/11/2025 01:56

I love a peanut butter and branston pickle sandwich and when I want to go wild, I'll add some sliced banana too.
