mjmooney Posted January 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2013 If I ever had to live overseas I'd be one of those Brits who have to stock up on Marmite every trip back. Can't live without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leebarnett2004 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 I once compared Vegemite to Marmite (my Australian mate insisted that it was better). Needless to say, Marmite won hands down. Agreed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmike Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Horrible horrible stuff! Don't mind peanut butter on toast tho. It is weird how some love it and some hate it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted January 3, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 3, 2013 Disagree. I would do the opposite. Butter onto very hot toast,... Then the toast goes all soggy, meaning that spreading the lovely marmite on to it tears the surface of the toast. That's pure mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pure mad. Hmm. Know what you mean, but I find that a certain amount of bread wreckage adds to the er, niceness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) I like it but only ever had it on its own on toast. Having read this thread I may try it with a few other things. Edited January 4, 2013 by markavfc40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norton65ca Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I live in Canada, and my compatriots fail to understand the appeal. I love the stuff. The existence of Marmite makes the concept of heaven redundant. Tried XO for the first time this year after my sister in Eastleigh sent me a jar. lovely.

mjmooney Posted January 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm wary of the 'non-standard' special edition versions, after my missus bought me some champagne Marmite. It was **** horrible. The Marston's ale one sounds like it would work, but I haven't tried it. XO on the other hand is really excellent. Like normal Marmite, only more so.

CrackpotForeigner Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Bovril>Vegemite>BrandX>>>>>>Marmite Marmite is just like the others, but with extra salt. EEEeeurgh. And just to clear this up once and for all: The correct way to consume substances of this kind is by applying a reasonably generous amount to a liberally-buttered slice of hot wholemeal toast, and accompany with a glass of fresh cow's milk. If Marmite is the only option, be sure to consume a minimum of 23 glasses of water immediately afterwards to avoid dehydration and sodium overload.

mjmooney Posted January 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's the salt in Marmite that makes it so gooooood. Mmmmmm.... salt...... As for wholemeal toast - yuk. Wholemeal bread is OK eaten "raw", but toast MUST be made with white bread. And proper butter, not some poncy vegetable oil spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesbut: If you like salt so much, why not just add extra amounts of the superior spreads, which are already endowed with **** fuckloads of salt anyway? You are allowed white bread, and you are correct to insist on butter rather than vegetable-based stuff, the health benefits of which are highly questionable, and the taste of which is highly inferior.

mjmooney Posted January 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have been known to generously butter cream crackers with salted butter, then add more salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
