Marmite � favourite uses

Marmite has always been a cont Marmite on toast roversial toast-topper, and the Love it-Hate it campaign has been totally over done - although it is so so true.

So, I was thinking about the deviation from using it just for toast (which, admittedly isn't original any more). It seems almost everything is these days edible with marmite.

My current favourite is a Cheese and Marmite panini from Starbucks. This is a variation of my own combination of cheese and marmite on toast, and is an exciting addition to the Starbucks panini range.

I was considering the other ways of utilising my love of melted cheese and Marmite combined for other late-night, post-drinking snacks.

A moment of genius! Everyone's had marmite on crumpets, melted cheese on crumpets, put them together and you've got the perfect snaquette… a crumpet, toasted, spread with Marmite, topped with cheese and placed under the grill.

Other uses for Marmite can be found on the official Marmite website, although I think they're missing a few tricks so, here's a few personal favourites, it does however, appear the cheese and marmite crumpet is in fact an original, a revelation, lovely stuff… Here's my Top 5 ways to enjoy Marmite:

Marmite and cheese on toast
Marmite and cheese crumpets
Marmite and cheese Panini
Marmite on toast
Marmite on bagels

How do you eat yours?

Question?
Crumpets or Pikelets

Can I phone a friend?

Marmite in Gravy - without a doubt, THE secret to perfect gravy. Mmmmm.

Might have to try this one

In Sri Lanka it is dissolved in boiling water and some lime juice and a fried, sliced onion is added, allegedly an excellent pick-me-up drink for recovering from a hangover.

Good idea Retroman. All you need to do is add some whisky to that recipe and you’re sorted…

I will be posting about the brilliant innovation that is Squeezy Marmite. Talk about re-inventing the wheel.

The best thing since sliced bread - well, the best thing to put on sliced bread after it’s been lightly toasted.

The fun you can have…

And with the added advantage of not getting your tongue stuck removing the last few bits from the jar…

Love it or Hate it?
I hate it personally! but the added extra temptation of cheese might just change my mind….

Talking of marmite jars, apparently there’s prank that involves getting a bloke to put his testicles into a small marmite jar.

This is easy to achieve apparently, the only problem is getting them out…

Claire, I can’t imagine cheese is going to help you like Marmite any more than you do. A bottle of whisky on the other hand…

What’s with the Whisky? Is it some kind of association you have with jars of Marmite, testicles and whisky you’d like to share with the WWW?

Claire, don’t forget to try the crumpets - you will be turned before long…

There’s no association. Three great things to have, just not great together in a cocktail…

i am totally ambivalent about marmite.

Yes Benji, but do you love it or hate it…

Mmmm Marmite. I love it. I used to hate it. It’s a bit like beer in that respect - an acquired taste.

I doubt whether anybody loved it straight from the off. I once fed some to my 2 year old nephew and he pulled a really disturbing face before bursting into tears.

Mind you, he also did that with the quarter teaspoon of mustard that followed. (Can I quickly add that this was experimentation and not abuse. I wanted to test the hypothesis that most spicy foods are an acquired taste and what better test group than people who have never tried them before.)

Unfortunately my sister came back into the room before I had chance to move on to the lazy chillies - and I have now been banned from using ‘nephew experimentation’ to form the basis of a blog article.

I think my nephew was more upset that he only recieved two of the five mini-mars bars that were promised for his participation - but he can blame his mum for that;-)

Any how - marmite, cheese and toast is surely the classic combo!

Natto. The Japanese equivalent of Marmite. Didn’t meet (m)any Japanese who liked Marmite when we were over there.

Haven’t met many ‘gaijin’ who like natto.

Natto is fermented soy bean. Consistency of snot, smell of something rotten, and a taste to die for (as in I’d rather die than eat).

Marmite ended up being some inter-cultural form of self-defence. The Japanese would take great delight in trying to force us to eat natto - saying that it was good for us.

We’d counter-attack with Marmite - the British natto.

Love the stuff.

My friend swears by the following sandwich, cheese, Marmite (okay so far) and a warm boiled egg….

Marmite and spam - alot… can’t get more British than thatalot!

Scrambled eggs on marmite toast!

Marmite with a hint of Champagne? Nice idea but totally, totally wrong…

Marmite with peanut butter…heaven.
I gave marmite to my american friend who had never heard of it/tried it…her reaction? “Oh my goood….why would you do that to a person?!”
Not a fan then…

Marmite on pizza. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried.

The musings and rants of two thirty-something Englishmen…of course!
