Marmite on Toast

[Thursday]

Clearly the best thing you can have on toast. (Unless you don't like Marmite in which case, yeah fair enough.) Personally I like a mug (or cup) of Hot Chocolate with it, but that might just be my own weird quirk.

Not interested in debating the matter or any of the specificities of it, but go ahead if you must.

I have no opinion on this; other than it is good.


however I'm sure there are people on here that can still fuck it up.

I eat marmite and peanut butter on toast every morning so I agree, marmite is the dogs.

Marmite on toast. With a glass of ice-cold milk. My ultimate midnight snack.

[touchingcloth]

Because I am a hopelessly fat cunt I have reduced my intake of carbs to a tiny amount. Sadly this means toast is a rarity to me know, but even more sadly than that it means I've lost the only truly appealing way of housing gallons of Marmite at a time.

What non-carb things can be used as a conduit de Marm?

[Icehaven]

Just eat it straight off the spoon, it's that good.

[mothman]

Rice cakes. Gallo also do a corn cake that works well. The merest scraping of low-fat spread, Marmite, it's about 30-40 calories per cake.

Crabsticks

Incidentally I bought a jar of Marmite a couple of weeks ago after a lifetime of never going near the stuff. I get a lot of food videos in my youtube screen. Tried it on white toast allowed to cool with a normal amount of butter and a scrape of Marmite. Contrary to the idiom I didn't love or hate it, it was just okay. It was very salty and didn't have the depth of flavour I was hoping for, just salt. Maybe I did it wrong.

Also it's extremely thick and viscous so when spreading over butter it gets kind of mashed and mixed in with the butter which I didn't find satisfying. I prefer light spreads that can very easily spread over the butter.

Again, maybe I was approaching the whole thing the wrong way. I tried it again a few days later but not since. Overall I was a bit disappointed. Is it an acquired taste? Is there some secret to how it's spread that I'm missing?

[mothman]

I prefer light spreads

Well that's your problem right there. Marmite is not something you spread lightly.

Rice is no good for me, but I might look into corn cakes. I sometimes make oatcakes as they are inexplicably pricey to buy.

Wait wait wait hold the phone

What about marmite on toast with an egg on it?

Correct. More than 50% of it which ends up on whatever I'm spreading it on needs to keep the same colour intensity it has in the jar. None of this fading to chestnut, I want it black as pitch.

Wait wait wait hold the phone

With a poached egg it's fucking great. In our house we call that Eggs Benedict Yeastextract.

Got a good recipe for making seed crackers that works good with butter and marmite for very minimal carbs. A large cup of seeds, a bit less of water, a few tablespoons of psyllium husk as a binder, pinch of salt, roll it out thin on some silicone sheet and pop it in the oven at 150 deg C for 70 min - great stuff

I'm fucking having that at the weekend.

Might even thrown on some cheeky bacon bits

[Fr.Bigley]

Have you tried marmite with crabsticks though?

An alternative answer to the age old question of "pink or brown?"

Yeah, it fucking stinks mate.

[Shit Good Nose]

Bovril on toast.


(I'm one of those that neither hates nor loves Marmite.  I'll happily eat it if there's nowt else, but wouldn't go out of my way to get any)

The Kallø - not Gallo! - corn cakes are very nice - I prefer them to the standard plain rice cake in fact. And - can't believe I forgot this! - they also do a lentil cake that is REALLY nice with Marmite on.

Hell yes.

According to their famous marketing, 99% of the population hold this opinion.

Them sorts of lies are likely to get you shanked at your constituency surgery.

I remember going into a greasy spoon with a Marmite-loving friend when we were about 14. He ordered a cheese toastie and asked if he could have Marmite in it.

"Marmite?!" The girl serving said. "In a toastie?!"

He clarified that, yes, that is what he wanted, and looked as puzzled as I felt that someone would be confused about this request.

"We don't have Marmite, but we've got Bovril. Will that do?"

He clarified that, yes, Bovril would be fine, at which point he was asked "...and how do you want me to...add it?"

"Just a sort of decent spread of it before the cheese goes on."

"...OK..."

When the toastie arrived back, he spat out his first bite and started pulling the thing apart to inspect it. They'd only sprinkled a load of gravy granules all over the cunt.

I'll see what Makro have available!

It's also good for concealing tablets intended for reluctant feline patients. At least, that's what I was told by the owners of a cat I used to look after (the cat's name was Twiglet tbf, so perhaps it was biased).
