morons. really.

i liked the comment, which went something like, "if you like salt, you don't pour a gallon of it over your french fries, do you?"

It goes great on a piece of cheddar - and by `cheddar' I mean proper old white cheese - not that f**kin' North American orange sh*t!

Marmite is not food.

It should never be consumed by humans. Ever.

YEEECH!

The Proper way to eat Marmite (and even more so for Vegimite) is to take some white bread that has been toasted to a light golden brown, and lightly buttered, while it's still warm you eat the delicious buttered toast and when you get about 1/2 way through you GENTLY toss the marmite in the nearest trash can.

Rev.K: Marmite is not food.

Who said anything about `food'? We're talking British cuisine here.

Yeah, I remember when Gimli tried to smash the jar with his axe, nothing happened except we all remembered what it tasted like.

Heh.

I wouldn't mind trying the stuff, I just don't feel like paying $6 for a jar.

that tears it! i'm going to have a marmite sandwich as soon as i get home! on TOAST with BUTTER.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: Silly English, Marmite is a bonding adhesive for airplane wings.

The de Havilland works used it to build Mosquitoes during WWII. Great for wood, for metal not so much.

btw - marmite should not be confused with the vile australian tar known as vegemite.

What's Marmite? Something like Nutella but when an even dumber name?

We get the real white stuff up here - y'know, because we're a `commonwealth' nation with ties to Britain and have Britishy things.

Congratulations. Maybe you should make some of your own damn cheese.

brewer's yeast extract. brown sludge. spread THINLY on buttered toast can be a little slice of heaven.

We do. I know the concept of a nation making its own consumer goods might seem strange to you 'merikins but most countries do this.

GAT_00: What's Marmite? Something like Nutella but when an even dumber name?

Yeah, it's kind of like Nutella, but more like frosting, so spread it on nice and thick.
Better yet, use it as an ice cream topping or to decorate a cake or muffins. MMmmmmm...


_{/Don't actually do that. It's yeast paste.}

i'm sure there are more than a few aussies around here who love the stuff.

a friend of mine who knew i loved marmite brought me some, thinking she was doing me a favor. it tasted nothing like marmite to me, so i was not a happy camper. but it's been 20 years. maybe i should try it again.

FlashHarry: you think marmite is tough to like? try this stuff. my dad loved it, but i just can't do it.

Hmm. Where can I get some of that?

i just ordered some from amazon.com. they also have poacher's relish, which is smoked salmon and lemon. sounds amazing.

Interesting. I'll have to try it out.

Indeed.

Noted.

It's meant to be thrown away.

Oh hi thar. Did you know that the orange coloring came from England? Used to be that they fed cows over there stuff that had lots of beta carotene in the spring and summer. They figured that yellow is good, orange is better so they started adding annatto.

It just happens that the US has embraced the orange color for some reason.


Personally I buy minimally processed cheeses from a great company that is local to me :)

*Raises hand*

Vegemite is one part of a breakfast of champions. It's very likely an acquired taste though - I'm not sure I could stand the stuff if I hadn't been bought up on it. Then again, I also love dutch liquorice, so take that with a grain of salt I suppose.

If I am going to go to the effort of toasting bread and spreading it with butter, I'm generally just going to stop there. It's already pretty much perfect. Getting out the jam or the Marmite seems kind of superfluous. I am not exactly coherent first thing in the morning, I prefer fewer steps to food.

I have a jar of vegemite. I don't mind it at all. Although, the best condiment I've found is Branston Pickle.

Marmite. Feh. Salty death with a faint overtone of yeasty death.

I am curious to try marmite, just to see what all the fuss is about. But the one British dish that I really want to try is beans on toast. American baked beans won't do for this, it has to be the British kind, but they don't sell them in any of the stores local to me.

What the fark is that stuff, and why does it look like the Black Oil from the X-Files mythos.

Look, limeys, we had a whole revolution so we wouldn't have to eat your vile, pathetic excuses for "food". Stop trying to tell us what we should eat and how it should be eaten.

If I want that crap, I'll go to a carnita and have them lecture me on the right way to eat jalapenos.

Marmite is Terrible
