The Marmite vote

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

Explain?

Er, I just like it more and it tastes nicer to me? I can’t really explain any more than that…

 

[LowerSouth]

Never tried it !

 

[chuckbert]

The pot on the marmite label is a French cooking pot called a … wait for it … marmite (pronounced marmeet).
Vegemite had a bit of a rebrand 100 years ago to Parwill as some kind of weird pun on marmite.

Every time someone comes to visit from England, I ask them to bring me a tub of Marmite. Only way of getting it here is in "The British Shop" at the equivalent of about a tenner for a 250g pot.

I also get them to bring me some best bitters/real ales, as all we get here is IPfuckingA, but that's for a totally different voting thread.

Marmite is king

I love both, but marmite and banana sandwiches ( no butter) are to die for!! Try it.

Oooh never heard of that combination before. Well that's breakfast for tomorrow sorted then!

Marmite peanut butter is a thing of beauty. They tried to stop making it a couple of years ago, but have brought it back after the response.

Marmite and marmalade on toast.

When I got the munchies last night, my thoughts turned to this thread and I treated myself to some Vegemite on sourdough toast. It was lush

Twiglets used to be nice. Now they are 'baked' and are revolting.

I do like Marmite - but actually prefer the cheap supermarket own brand versions that are not quite as strong, because Marmite can tip over from 'lovely' to 'too much' very easily.

There is no such thing as "Too much Marmite" !

Tip for a fulfilling snack - dip the Twiglet in the Marmite pot before eating

Voted "It's okay". Add me to the preferring vegemite or bovril, depending on situation.

Most interesting forum post of the week.

Thick slice of toasted sourdough, plenty of real butter, thin layer of marmite, layer of grated cheddar, then chopped spring onions and fresh chillies, another layer of cheddar, back under a hot grill. Job done.

When there’s no other option then Vegemite has to do, but it’s simply not a patch on Marmite.

Marmite infused cheese is available in the supermarkets every now and then, and it is yummy, but quite honestly just spread a bit of marmite on your cheese of choice and it’s a winner.

Marmite crisps another one of life’s pleasures.

Can't stand bovril

 

[OUFCGav]

Can't stand bovril

its even less attractive when you know the original product name - Johnston's Fluid Beef

I always find a drum of Twiglets is the perfect antidote to the big Christmas dinner if you have no indigestion remedies available.

I could have improved it by saying “FACT. End of.” at the end.

And now

 

[ECYellow]

Marmite is fantastic! Bloody lovely on (proper) buttered toast - thick uncut bread preferably.

 

[OUFC1978]

Cheese and marmite in a sandwich is amazing.

But best use of marmite is in a sausage roll. Spread it on the pastry before you add the sausagemeat.

 

[Mad Dog]

A nice thick cut slice of crusty tiger bread, extra mature cheddar, thickly sliced with Marmite generously spread over each slice of cheese.
Finely chopped picked onions sprinkled on top, and a good splash of Worcestershire sauce all over.

Then under the grill….

Can I propose a Marmite and cream cheese sandwich, maybe with sliced cucumber? It might sound disgusting but I promise you, it's a small slice of wonderful

Entirely understandable.

Agree about twiglets, the change has been for the worse.

It’s ok I suppose but I don’t get the love it or hate it thing?

Yep, seconded. A great sandwich indeed (and even better on a batch roll I'd say)

Or if you swap the cream cheese and marmite for peanut butter, and definitely go with the cucumber then you’ve got a sandwich to die for.

Prefer peanut butter with tomatoes, myself
