dancing cloud Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 In several posts on the subject of hennie-porridge there's been mention of marmite and I thought I'd give it a go to add variety to the usual mix. As I'm not a fan of the stuff , how much do you use? I assume a very small amount, but roughly how small? Does it have to be marmite or will Tesco's own beef extract be as good? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I think Tesco's own Yeast Extract should be ok. When you next go to the supermarket you could compare the ingredients in each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Marmite, mmmmmmmmmmm - love it !! I do a slice of toast, spread liberally with marmite and cut into small squares (so they can all get some). My girlies go MAD for it .

Egluntyne Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It is rather salty, so I spread it thinly. Mine love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Many thanks for this - I'll put it on my shopping list for tomorrow and have a read of labels instead of doing my usual Tesco routine of "grabbit and run" I assume I just put a little in porridge - half a teaspoon or so? Me? Spoil my hens? Never! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayflower Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi, well, thought, this sounded a good idea sooo...made the hens and myself toast and marmite. It was so funny. As I laid the dish down for the hens, Annie made a noise I had'nt heard before. A kind of under the breath impatient sound as if to say 'oh for goodness sake, what is she giving us now?' Five minutes later I went out to see how they were getting on and half of it was still in the dish with Annie give me her 'we are not amused' look. So I apologised...yes I know.... and gave them lettuce instead. Anyway, all is not lost. I enjoyed mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
