Why didn't they keep it behind the counter to begin with? Little children might have accidentally eaten it.

What is Marmite? Is it like vegamite?

I have purchased it from a shop specializing in British food and found it quite tasty, but I like salty strong tasting things. It's sort of like if you took a packet of the powder from beef ramen noodles and mixed it with just enough water to make a paste, from my American point of view.

MidnightMargaritas!: What is Marmite? Is it like vegamite?

Yes, except for its texture. Marmite's a little more molasses-y whereas Vegemite is more Nutella-y.

This will give you an idea, except for the part about cheese sandwiches.

oldfarthenry: You know what goes great with Marmite?

A quadruple bypass?

Good bog, what the hell is that?

oldfarthenry: Melton Mowbray Pork pie! UK's version of a Wendy's triple burger.
Both are delicious!

Oh, I'm not saying I wouldn't eat it. It's just that it looks daunting. I think I'd have a defib handy, just in case.

The ones with the egg in are usually called gala pie...

And yeah, you have a slice. not a wedge. Usually the pastry is made with good wholesome lard.


On-topic, Marmite is farking great, especially in cheese sandwiches. Goats cheese, rocket and marmite is a particularly good combo, but plain old cheddar and marmite works too.

amirite?

I like a little bit of Marmite spread on toast with some sliced tomatoes.

/Key: a little. If it's spread too thick, it's just ugly.

The f*ck is wrong with you people, eating sh*t like that?

Acquired taste people. Vegimite wins two out of three over Marmite

It costs me $6 for the smallest jar here in Portland. So after brewing my last batch of beer I tried making my own marmite. It turned out more like vegemite, but it is still great on toast with poached eggs.

I don't agree with people eating marmots.

It's kind of like eating a chick with a yeast infection.

You have farking ruined vegemite and marmite for me forever. Farking douchebag.

pervvywanker: It's kind of like eating a chick with a yeast infection.

I've always wanted to capture your moms distinct flavour and spread it on toast.

UnkoPatrol: Vegimite wins two out of three over Marmite

Can't agree with you more!

FlashHarry: MidnightMargaritas!: What is Marmite? Is it like vegamite?

vegemite is shiat. marmite is farking awesome.

other than that, they're similar.

/marmite on toast with butter FTW!

Mmm. That's my comfort food. I've been known to enjoy a bacon, marmite and ketchup sandwich, but one of these days I'll just cut to the chase and buy a salt lick.

Is it a slow news day?

We were discussing this weeks ago on my forum. The petrol station in question is about 1 mile away from where I live.

And, for the record, Marmite is bloody horrible unless you are eating Twiglets....

How many marmosets does it take to make a sandwich?

merry farking christmas on a cracker, this thread is going places!

well hun, firstly understand that Pervvywanker has likely never eaten vegemite,marmite or been close enough to lady parts to know what any of them taste like....

Secondly he is wrong, the difference is the Autolyzing process that gives vegemite and marmite their yummy taste.

In short, basement dwellers are not the best source of info...

Twiglets are the yummies, those and hobnobs.

It is the Marmite that makes them yummy(twiglets not hobnobs)

mytdawg: How many marmosets does it take to make a sandwich?

Holy shiat! All this time I thought people were eating marmots, which I'm utterly against.

I'm okay with eating marmosets.

MidnightMargaritas!: What is Marmite? Is it like vegamite?

Once beer has been brewed, there is a foul, disgusting residue that used to be fed to the pigs, who, being pigs and knowing no better, ate it reluctantly. Then some entrepeneur (in the worst sense of the word) decided to put it into small bottles (large ones tended to explode, and came under the official heading of "dangerous industrial waste") and sell it as a condiment. British taste buds being what they are, it caught on. The rest, as they say, is history.

Vegemite is pretty similar, only it is made from the residue of boiled sheepskins.

Twiglets are a guilty secret, but Chocolate Hobnobs are the best!!

Marmite...
Vegimite...
Twiglets...

Aaah, British cuisine.

Peanut butter is about as crazy as I get with toast.

oldfarthenry: You know what goes great with Marmite?

Thats a good looking pie you have there.

Caliope: Chocolate Hobnobs are the best!!
I have been looking for a way to make them myself, I am getting pretty close.

Awesome stuff but pales when compared to the stroke inducing mixed grill breakfast ,fried everything:
Sausage eggs bacon black pudding mushrooms tomatoes and even the bread .
Damn I'm hungry , never thought I'd miss Wolverhampton

Aah, Christmas breakfast.....

Did I mention that I think I love you, Cap G? Because I do. (Or I will once you've mastered the hobnob.) I'll bring the tea, I've got Typhoo!

Heck, that's every day breakfast at my grandpa's. He's 93 and still walks to town for his messages, play dominoes at the pub and walks to church every Sunday.

FTFA: ...taking dozens of pots of the spread.

In total he stole 18 jars of the £2.79 jars on four separate occasions...

Does the term "dozens" have a different meaning in British English? In American English, 18 can't be described as "dozens."

Maybe it's one of those words like "lift," "biscuit," or "fanny"

Marmite, whole grain toast, butter and sharp Cheddar (or Stilton) = heaven.
