  • My fave is a toasted cheese with cucumber/tomato,Marmite and coarse grained mustard (toast one side then spread other side with marmite and mustard),or a Marmite,peanut butter and banana sandwich.

    How about spaghetti with Marmite:

    Marmite and peanut butter toast ROCKS! Never tried to add banana - when adding Marmite that is - but will do soon, it sounds lovely, will give it a try as soon as I get some PB (I always have Marmite in stock hehe).
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    A honey,peanut-butter and banana sandwich is also very good.;)

    The Swiss equivalent to Marmite is called Cenovis,and is pretty good.Not quite the same taste as Marmite,but pretty similar.I would quite happily just have Cenovis,except that Marmite has all the B vitamins,and Cenovis has only Vit B1.Being a vegetarian,Marmite makes more sense.(I can buy the small jars of Marmite here,but stock up when I go home).

    www.cenovis.ch if anyone's interested.
  • My Fave way to eat it is spread on hot buttered toast and topped with mashed banana! Yes you read that right, the combo works really well imo.:D

    Oh and I find a finger works really well to get out the dregs of the jar.

    It's only a game

    Yes I do that as well.

    I also like Marmite as a drink - like Bovril (but nicer!)

    Love it. :drool: When I went to boarding school, the dinner's were dire and the tea, terrible. So I used to go for it at breakfast: bowl after bowl of cereal, and stacks of Marmite and marmalade (together, obviously!) on toast. I am 6'3", and I attribute this directly to Marmite. It is the growing up spread. :D

    However, I can't distinguish any significant difference between

    and

    Marmite-XO.jpg

    Which I'm gutted about. Thought it was going to be SuperTurboMarmite, but it's not. :(

    I have never seen the XO variant :(

    A few years ago there was a champagne variant, which was ok, but not as good as the original.
    The also did a Guinness variant, which was lovely :drool::D

    Or, just turn the jar upside down and let gravity do its job.

    And now I know where Mr. BE got his culinary skills: at school, roasting third-formers over an open fire.

    I love Marmite. I did the scrapy thing with a knife the other day. Toasts not the same without it. :j
