Groovychook Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 However, the Marmite Easter egg I had last year may have been a step too far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Love it! Marmite on hot buttered toast is the ultimate comfort food. Luckily the sell it here in France, because quite frankly that may have been a deal breaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I didn't like Marmite until I had my first child, now 23, my OH introduced her to it on toast and through licking my fingers when making it for her I aquired the taste. I like a small amount on toast topped with squashed or sliced ripe banana. My YD absolutely adores it her older sister and brother like it but don't often eat it which is probably the same for OH and myself. OH likes Bovril and adds it to mince which can be a bit salty for my taste. ED went to Australia last year and brought back a jar of Vegemite which got the thumbs down from Marmite loving little sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 IMHO Vegemite is a very poor imitation; just doesn't have the big, gutsy kick that Marmite has! I still reckon that Marmite topped toast with a huge splodge of runny (free range!) scrambled egg on top is just perfect In fact, I may just have to pop down to the kitchen right now..........

Olly Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 don't close the door, I'm right behind you! The only problem I had with the Marmite chocolate was that it didn't have enough Marmite in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/cheese-marmite-scones Marmite lovers....these are amazing!!!

Valkyrie Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Bleurghhhhhh! Yet if anyone has Twiglets around I have to lick it off before crunching the now slightly soggy stick. I hate it but it somehow I can't stop myself! I think it's the salty flavour - I have never liked salt on or in my food, so can taste it when in restaurants - one dish I've returned because it was like eating a bowl of salt - have to say I've only done that once and I wasn't the only one who couldn't eat their dinner, even the maitre d agreed with us. Very sensitive little buds I have - should be a wine taster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatieB Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Anyone tried the Marmite cashews.................oh my they are lovely, the only downside is that once I open the packet I can't stop and its a big packet As you can guess I love it. I live in the marmite house too; you love it or hate it - I have no neighbours, nearest house is half a mile away, Im 3 miles from a village and 7 from town. The middle of nowhere, everyone has an opinion on it though. I think we should change its name to Marmite House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not had Marmite cashews (can imagine they are scrumptious!) but Lidl had Marmite peanuts and they were nice. I now imagine the house to be the size and shape of a jar of Marmite - like something out of a warped Hansel and Gretel !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Marmite Cashews are amazing - they are on my list of things to buy when I am back on British soil in a month or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
