Why you not at the meet tonight Hiyabeing??? I can't believe YOU would miss a forum gathering.

And I'll second that motion to have a 'Marmite is EVIL' option!

However, fletch NOT being a mod I feel he'll not be able to change the poll now!:thumbsup:

Marmite recently had its centenary and the guardian site http://www.guardian.co.uk/netnotes/article/0,6729,748622,00.html list oodles of useless facts including feeding marmite to dogs - i wonder what they think of it ?

Nasty

I have to agree, I thought its`s primary use was for laying roads.

And it`s secondary use for dipping the tops of pencils in to prevent children nibbling the tops?

Marmite is a godsend, nothing else tastes as good on toast, especially with cheese spread.

I can see why people hate it though, it does has something corrupt about it.

I was raised on it

All my pals keep a wee jar in the cupboard in case I am staying over for breakfast

I even sneaked some over to the US with me on holiday

I used to love Marmite,
I hadn't had any for years, then thought i'd get a jar and found i could not stand it.
I was convinced they'd changed the taste, but i think maybe my palate has changed over the years.
Just thinking of it now makes me want to try it again but i know i'll not like it, i think i'll have a go at the 'mashed potato' idea of Cherry's to see if i can get back in to it.
good idea :thumbsup: any more recipies out there ?

Lotti
07-10-2005, 21:06
no seriously - how do you do it :confused:

My marmite would just stick to the knife and refuse to budge, then when I tried to mix up the mash, it would all just stick together.

Eeee Lotti, what are you like?! You just make the mash and then spoon in some marmite and mix it up :D maybe your mash is too cold or thick :confused:

There isn't an 'on occasion in small doses' option.
I'm one of the weird ones who buys a mini jar and it lasts 2 years, I do eat it, in small scrapings on toast on rare occasion.

I was told and it was confirmed by a chemist, if you eat marmite it stops the mossies from biting you, more affective than any insect repellant.

I LOVE Marmite, have it every day. But there's an art to spreading it on toast. Non marmite eaters spread it on too think, it has to be spread very thinly and randomly across the toast:D .
My husband doesn't like Marmite and once made me some, he spread it like you would jam.:gag:

I love marmite, but always found you have to use it sparingly or it would burn the roof of your mouth with a ferocity akin to nitric acid, then I discovered VEGEMITE ! :thumbsup:

Its just as tasty as marmite, but you can spread it on thick and still have an unscathed tongue!!

On topic: Marmite's one of those things I don't buy because I have to be in the right mood to eat it, so most of a jar would probably go to waste because I don't fancy eating it a lot of the time.

I'm about to cook the tea, so marmite on toast would be greedy, but as soon as the stuff is mentioned I want to eat it. Does it still have nicotinic acid in it? It used to.

I used to make soya mince mixed with hot water, tomatoes and marmite. Mmmmmm......

I didn't like the marmite drink my aunt gave me when i was a kid, I thought it'd taste like oxo, or bovril, I refused to touch the stuff for years after. (although i did like the marmite-y tasting twiglets, isn't that odd?)

Then, about 18 years ago, I was stopping over at a friend's place, and at breakfast, she put some marmite on toast for me to try, and I was hooked.

I would agree, though, that less is very definitely more when it comes to spreading it on your toast, if you spread it thickly, then the flavour is too intense, and it overwhelms.
