Marmite

Penny-Wise_4

I think I’m in a real minority – I don’t love it or hate it – I do eat it occasionally, but I could take it or leave it.

I prefer Vecon. Does anyone else eat this? You get it at health food shops – it’s a concentrated vegetable stock. It’s black, thick and a bit grainy – almost like the consistency of set honey – and tastes salty and like celery. I do use it a bit in cooking but mostly I eat it spread thinly on toast.

Have you tasted Vegemite? Obviously not. I like Promite better than Marmite as well. Do you get Promite?

Yep, have tasted Vegemite, and found it way inferior. None of my four kids who all love Marmite would touch it! Never had/seen Promite, don't think we get that here

I'm in the love it camp.
marmite and cheese spread on toast, marmite on toast, marmite and peanut butter, marmite on jacket spud and cheese.
Most favourite roast spuds scraped with a fork, brushed with marmite and roasted until crispy....yummmmmmm

Chipps - the same thing happened when I was at a conference! At breakfast there was an industrial sized tub of marmite, and we watched a Germany guy take a great big wodge of the stuff, slather it all over his bread, and then spit it out in a hurry!:rotfl:

I love marmite, so does Dh and DS... However - can use as punishment for DD... tidy your room or I'll make you marmite sandwiches..... She hates the stuff!

I cannot believe you said that? Now, peanut butter with cheese, or marmalade, or jam - but marmite ...........




(you won't believe what my spell checker makes of foreverskint!)

And now I really would like to know about your spellchecker lol

Yep it's a hit in my house and is all that I could eat (on white toast) when preggars with DD. Have tried Tesco's own version and think it just as good.

No idea how you would make it though!

My partner ate loads of the stuff and I thought he was disgusting, but the £3+ jar used to last him an age. How I am seven months pregnant and have marmity toast with banana on for breakfast it goes down a lot quicker. I don't really care about brands but you need marmite and coca cola don't you
