I don't eat it as marmite if I can help it - I can eat it (unlike peanut butter which is evil and inedible) but I wouldn't choose to eat it.

Marmite is best deployed onto the windscreens and side windows of cars belonging to motorists who have systematically and repeatedly chosen to ignore The Highway Code.
Door handles really leaves 'em guessing.
WRT Marmite I can take it or leave it. When we have a jar, which is increasingly rare, it lasts for years.
I voted meh! but I would have preferred it without the exclamation mark.

Anyone else think it's stealthily got more expensive recently? Is it a side-effect of the brexit thing, or maybe Marmite is supplanting Mars Bars as an indicator of the state of the economy?

Marmalite sounds like a generic name for the not quite Marmite things, such as Vegemite and various own label yeast extracts. Either that or a deadly weapon.I don't eat it as marmite if I can help it - I can eat it (unlike peanut butter which is evil and inedible) but I wouldn't choose to eat it.

The stuff in Ye Shedde was Creomite. An unholy blend of Creosote and Marmite.

Creomite is a dark brown gooey (not Gooey) substance which can either be spread thinly on wood to preserve it, or spread thinly on bread and butter as preserve.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that! It seems, anecdotally anyway, that Tesco caved in but Aldi didn't - their Marmite is still for sale at the old price. Other explanations for this are available of course.Anyone else think it's stealthily got more expensive recently?

Marmite sandwiches, Marmite on toast, Marmite on crumpets, Marmite as a beverage, Marmite rice cakes, Marmite crisps, Mamrmite mini Ryvita, Marmite under peanut butter in a sandwich or on toast, Marmite as a seasoning in gravy ect ect.
Yup. I like Marmite.

In case anyone has missed the information, Marmite XO is available again in Mr Tesco's Emporium! Got 2 jars today, already had 2 Marmite XO sandwiches!
Does that marmite taste strong as I used to remember?

Yes, but it is a lot smoother than the regular variety. (In my opinion anyway!
)

I suspect this is driven by the source of their raw materials.
Post by: Fennec on 08 August, 2020, 10:32:56 am
It reminds me of the Marmite XO pictured previously, being darker and stronger in flavour than normal Marmite. It is also rather cheaper.
I have instructed Mrs F (who is in charge of placing our weekly order with Mr Morrison) to make this my usual yeast extract.

Well toasted, white bread.
Butter immediately after toasting.
No dipping butter knife into marmite.
Thinly apply marmite, while toast still warm.
Enjoy asap.
Anything else? ;)

• Throw the by now inedible toast in the bin* and redo from scratch with marmalade, jam or HUNNY :demon:

Spread it nice and thin
The brother of an old girlfriend didn't so much have Marmite on his toast as have toast on his Marmite. Unless he kicked that habit, I dread to think what his blood pressure is like now.
Twiglets!

I don't care enough about Marmite to love it or hate it. It's vaguely salty and mostly pointless. If anyone tells you it's full of vitamins, well, yeah, they would. Make sure you love them first.
Post by: Basil on 22 June, 2023, 10:42:16 am
Umm, bit different. Not great.
I like Marmite to taste of Marmite.

Twiglets are strange, they don't taste particularly nice, but if there's a nearby bowl of them at a party they exert a curious magnetic attraction, and you'll find yourself stuffing them your mouth while thinking these don't taste that good. Then you'll eat some more. You don't know why, but you will. It's a strange compulsion. It's not even just me, I've seen other people doing it. You can see the look the look on their face. Why am I chewing a mouthful of dry twigs? Then they reach down for more. You want to get rid of radioactive waste? Paint it on Twiglets, host a party.

I find Stilton cheese is similar. I can't say that it has a pleasant flavour, but it's a really interesting one. I normally only buy it at Christmas, and it doesn't last long.
