    Does anyone else find it's texture mildly disturbing?

    Go on, get a jar, poke around in it. It's vaguely reminiscient of Smoker's Lung.

    Tastes bloody good though [Very Happy]

    mmm, marmite....

    If you're a fan, you might like to know it tastes great with scrambled egg on toast [Very Happy]

    I didn't know that - I just had some spread on toast for breakfast.

    I'll try that out one time! Maybe I'll have it for lunch [Smile]

    Nope!!!

    I HATE MARMITE.....Do you drink the dregs out of the beer barrell at the end of the night?Do you collect all the empty glasses and attempt to pour all the left overs into one glass in a hope of making one pint? Marmite is the scum left over from making beer. Why have scum when you can drink the best bit???

    I guess its a bit like eating a horse, ur eating the tough meat when ya shoudl have backed it in the race!lol

    Mmm... Marmite. And Marmite Crisps... Hat off to Walkers for combining two great foodstuffs.

    in a sandwich:

    Philadelphia, marmite and cucumber. Great Combo.
    also good is Marmite and Cheddar cheese.

    When we were kids there was a marmite versus bovril war going on in our house. Bovril is totally minging.

    Do the marmite haters out there like bovril on toast???

    No.

    so are you admitting that marmite is better then?
  15. blueeyes Sat Jul 08, 2006 10:53 am #15
    I have to say I can't really deal with either of them...

    probably give bovril the edge for ikkiness though!

    I'd agree... but not all in the same sarnie! Cheese and Marmite - yes, Cheese and peanut Butter - yes. All three? No!

    hi, you dont know me but i quite like twiglets even though i hate marmite.....although i really only like the worcestershire sauce flavour twiglets!!!
  26. blueeyes Mon Jul 24, 2006 7:51 pm #26
    Really? I'd have to say that I don't like either twiglets or (as I think I've already said [Wink] ) marmite.

    I love twiglets! And even though they have cheese powder in them i can eat them, though I'm allergic to cheese.

    Helloo Becky! And hellloo Roey too, I don't think I've said so before

    Ditto [Cool] The marmite ones can be horrible if there's too much marmite on them. But the worcshetehsire flavour ones are yummy.

    Yet I went to a shopping place (*ahem*cough*Tesco*cough*ahem*) yesterday and they only had the marmite variety [Crying or Very sad] I was deeply upset.

    Marmite is luuurvely stuff! I don't know if anyone's ever tried with wth peanut butter but it is DAMN GOOD!
  36. Himji Fri Aug 04, 2006 8:59 pm #36
    YES! Peanut butter open sandwich with a great big dollop of marmite (spread like a drunk) the end bit's of crust are the best bits for this
  37. king pimp III Sat Aug 05, 2006 9:29 am #37
    random marmite fun fact.
    put a dollop of marmite onto a plate (about a good spoon full).
    take a fork and beat the marmite (lay fork flat so all prongs are on plate and do a good up and down motion)
    in a few mins the marmite will be white.
    amazing (tastes the same though)

    why drunk m8 had to phone me at 2am to tell me this is another matter lol.
  38. Anna-na-na-na Sat Aug 05, 2006 11:30 pm #38
    Eeee I remember my friend's boyfriend put a tonne of Marmite onto peanut butter smothered toast... The toast was cold and soggy and the marmite made my mouth hurt but Damn it was good!

    Never tryd any of the with cheese but marmite and peanut butter is truly the combo from the GODS will have to try adding cheese to it aswell next time.
  45. Himji Fri Aug 11, 2006 8:18 am #45
    Ok here we go, toast one side of bread. Other side, spread peanut butter and top with chesse, toast. Once the cheese has melted, drizzle marmite on top. I've never tried this in my life but it sounds delicious enough to try it tonight (Friday night = late night watching Angel and eating junk food)
  46. caffeine Sun Aug 13, 2006 1:37 pm #46
    I wouldn't have thought marmite was particularly dribbleable ...

    I just tried it on toast - I have to say it tastes nicer than I thought it was going to taste.
    It isn't fantastically delicious, but it certainly isn't disgusting!

    It is if you get the new fangled squeezy bottles!

    yes it is, just dip your knife in, twirl it around and then hang it over your desired snack. It just dribbles down ont it.

    I tried the pbutter cheese toastie with marmite thing. All I'll say is, I made another two straight after [Very Happy]

    marmite and honey on toast is def the best combo for sweet and sour type thing
  52. peppermint_twist Wed Sep 06, 2006 6:31 pm #52
    love marmite [Very Happy]

    but strangely in my 16 year long life i have only ever eaten it on toast once. liked it though. i just cant ever be bothered to make some because for some reason people in my house (mum!!) keeps putting it in the fridge which turns it into a browner version of concrete.
  53. caffeine Tue Sep 12, 2006 10:14 pm #53
    I am hardcore.

    I eat twiglets dipped in marmite.

    Edit: this has to be my new sig.

    Oh my God!! Lady V, we must be twins! Smokers lung excepted! [Embarassed]

    I've probably already got it! [Crying or Very sad] My hubby (also a marmite lover), have been heavy smokers for eoans & we're in our 2nd month of quitting! He's not cracked yet I have! [Embarassed] & he's so smug I could murder him!!

    I lurvvve marmite on toast! [Heart]

    If someone told me I could only eat one food ever again for the rest of my life, it's a no brainer!

    Marmite on toast! Nuff said!

    Let's hope I live forever & then I die & go to heaven where I eat marmite on toast all day long & don't have to worry about too much salt, what I weigh, etc., etc., etc..........
