Marmite : Do you spread it thick or thin?

[goldenecitrone]

I like to put a dollop in thick vegetable soup. But I can't stand Marmite.

[rennie]

I spit it out. immediately.

 

[Relahni]

For me Marmite should be thin. In fact, the way I do it is to spread it on the toast then try to scrape as much of it off as possible.

That's strange.

 

[goldenecitrone]

I spit it out. immediately.

My ex was exactly the same.

 

[trashpony]

Same here!

I'm not the best at making my daughter marmite sangers tho!

Nigella recommends mashing butter and marmite together first

I believe I spread relatively thin personally - but I'd like some kind of measurement before I commit myself one way or the other

You started having cravings for fried toilet paper with radishes yet?

 

[Groucho]

Marmite is absolutely fuckin disgusting. Uuurgh! Yuuuck!

I've spent too long with that bloody cat!

I read that as adding marmite to mash. What a horrible thought.

No I'm a bit disappointed.

 

[goldenecitrone]

No I'm a bit disappointed.

It won't be long. Stock up on Andrex and olive oil, you have to be prepared for all eventualities.

Marmite on baked potatoes is surprisingly good.

I have the squeezy marmite at the minute, so it's less about spreading it and more making squiggly patterns and drawing smilie faces with it.

 

[sleaterkinney]

I spread it - straight into the bin. Yuck.

 

[crustychick]

Bleeeeeeeeeerrrruuuuuuugh

you guys are weird.

 

[PacificOcean]

Marmite tastes saltier than salty spunk from a salior who has been at sea.

What is it anyway?

 

[astral]

What is it anyway?

It's a yeast extract which I believe is a byproduct of making beer.

I could be wrong about the last bit though.

I love marmite on hot buttered english muffins but I only like it spread thinly. Whereas my brother thinks that is the wrong way to have a sucessful marmite experience. He goes for a thick spread on his toast.

Is he wrong? Am I wrong? Does it matter? How do you spread your marmite?

When they used to do cheese and marmite punani's at the pub i work at, I dont think the 'cook' realised that she was probably putting people off marmite for good by spreading it as thickly as you'd spread peanut butter. It was disgusting, there was probably more marmite than there was cheese.

 

[XerxesVargas]

That's strange.

Well not really. Think it just too strong a flavour for me. So I prefer toast with a hint of marmite.

You're not wrong.

Totally lush and the result of brewing beer.....

Truly, nectar of the gods.

[XerxesVargas]

You're more of a Bovril bird then?

 

[PacificOcean]

You're more of a Bovril bird then?

Funny.

I like to eat Bovril cubes but cannot stand marmite.

 

[trashpony]

Funny.

I like to eat Bovril cubes but cannot stand marmite.

I don't like bovril. And you say marmite's salty

 

[Herbsman.]

Heh. A couple of people who came into the pub and accidentally ordered a "ham and cheese punani". Immediately afterwards I was unable to do my job properly, I had to walk out from behind the bar for a minute to try and compose myself, as I tried and failed to hold back the laughter, with tears streaming down my face...

[SubZeroCat]

I like it thin!

This brings me back to a dare I had to do when I was 7, the story of which popped up in drug fuelled convo 2 weeks ago and left us with a funny one liner (funny at the time of course...)

I was with my sister and our two friends, we were playing Truth or Dare and I chose Dare, which was to swallow a teaspoon of marmite.

"Great!" I thought. "I like marmite, I have it on toast and crumpets sometimes".....unfortunately at the tender age of 7 I wasn't yet aware that lots of marmite = yuck. I swallowed it down and quickly realised where the "Dare" element lay....

"And it wasn't until I swallowed it that I realised they were the ones taking the piss out of me"

Have you met any of those people?

I have.

And if the ones I haven't met are as bad as the ones I have, I think you're in trouble....

Bunch of limp wristed, namby pamby, wishy washy, dribble a minute wusses.

Let's face it - Marmite people are hard, bad to the bone.

You sickly marmalade slurpers are sad to the bone....

 

[crustychick]

oi! them's fightin words.... let the marmite wars begin!
