I am glad Kate is feeling much better,however

Watching the news about the horrendous rubbish problem in Birmingham,this was followed by Kates film clip rambling about Windermere saying we need to connect with nature and couldn’t help thinking it was inappropriate.I bet cancer sufferers in Birmingham would love to do this instead of holding down a job worrying about col doing chores that I bet she never does and have stinking rubbish with rats in the streets. I have no problem with her video but thought the timing was so off. They sometimes need to read the room.

Well I’m glad you asked….. purists would stick to just a thick spreading of butter.
I have been known to add a cheeky swirl of marmite to mine !
and in emergency moments cathedral mature cheese spread and marmite!
no pickle if you want traditional. 🤣

Cream cheese and chilli jam for me.
Love a savoury cream tea.

Must apologise for the scone derailment!! 😳
my love of cheese is a legend in my own lunchbox!

No, no and thrice no to cheese either in or on a hot cross bun, that's a line crossed for me😂
Cheese on pretty much anything else, most definitely!

My supermarket started stocking Cathedral cheddar a few months ago. I really like the aged cheddar and it's comparable in price to aged US cheddar. For now 😔

I will allow chilli jam as I’m quite partial but have to draw the line at cream cheese!
fine on a bagel but simply not cheesey enough on a cheese scone!! Totally contrasting cheese flavour!
🤣

Totally contrasting cheese flavour!

Fair enough

😉🤣

I used to go to a place where I got white chocolate scones and rhubarb jam. 😳❤️

I do enjoy a nice cherry scone, not cheese though that is just wrong

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that otherwise decent people put Marmite on a scone.

Marmite belongs on toast.

That sounds divine 🤤

I’m glad someone else dared voice what I was thinking 🤣 Each to their own I guess.

Marmite belongs in the bin. There, I said it and I’m not sorry. I will die on that hill (is that another Easter joke 🤔)

You have cross(ed) a line there. Marmite has an essential place in every home. But not on scones.

TOAST!!!! Why is everybody getting all fancy when all anyone needs is TOAST!!!!

And maybe crumpets...

A smear of Bovril from the jar is IMO equal to Marmite in the savoury topping stakes.

Unorthodox I know, but try it, haterz 😂

PS not the veggies, of course. You get a pass.

Marmite is the food of the gods!!!
as is Vegemite to a lesser extent, but you haven’t tasted heaven till you have … toast a crumpet…. Smothered it in butter…. Applied a smear of marmite … then cheese spread, this can be dairylea or cathedral.
it may sound odd but after the recommendation I went on to eat an entire packet of crumpets this way 😳❤️

My DH drinks a mug of hot Bovril at half time with every footie match he watches. It was something he did as a child!

We get through a lot of Bovril 😂

I thought I had found my crew on MN. And now I find they put Marmite on scones, and admit to using Bovril.

It's only a matter of time before someone mentions Vegemite 😭

Agggghhhh! Even as I posted, @jeffgoldblum typed out the V word...

Jeff, love you, love your work, but you're dead to me from now on 😡

You are all lucky. Marmite and Bovril are not gluten free. Thank the lord (on this Good Friday) that meridian make a gluten free yeast extract which Is very similar to heavenly marmite the food of the god (not gods- it’s Good Friday 😉).

URGENT EDIT: Vegemite is not the same as marmite <gavel>

I am sorry for your loss, and glad you have found a yeasty alternative.

Thoughts and prayers...

Vegemite is different to Marmite of course and arguably not quite as good but it spreads better. True.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m not sorry!!! My dh may agree with you but I will die on this hill 🧀🧀🧀🧀🥯🥯🥯🥯

If Meghan ever releases a savoury spread as part of her range, we are all going to implode 😂
