metanoia Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Peanut butter and Marmite on toast. As a kid all our mums used to give us this. As an adult whenever I mention it I get looks of askance and comments like 'YUK'. But it's DELICIOUS, works really well!!! Do I know you (or your Mum)? cos that's one of our staples, too..... Crunchy or smooth? Truly delicious.... ETA: had that for breakfast just two days ago kettle on.... Edited December 21, 2015 by metanoia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Star Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Soft boiled egg and Marmite soldiers. Also, I pour a teaspoon of Marmite's close cousin, Przyprawa w plynie (available from the local Polski Sklep) into virtually every dark meat dish I cook.

Southern Star Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I thought it was some sort of explosive. Probably not, but I've always found it strange that monosodium glutamate gets such a bad press, when there is more glutamate in Marmite than any other manufactured product on the planet other than pure monosodium glutamate crystals. Not that i'm bothered, but some folk would be shocked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1agos Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Marmite is banned in USA. Seem to remember someone having his stash confiscated by customs. I love it between toast and melted cheese. Edited December 21, 2015 by 1agos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStringPudding Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'd have to ask him for the recipe. It's weird bro alchemy. Barely tastes at all of Marmite. But the subtle aftertaste there is is quite pleasant. ? Anyone who knows his boat Shadows in Banbury, give him a wave and ask him how it's done.

I'm heading for Banbury in the next few months so may well check him out. Will PM nearer the time but hope you can tell it's marmite!! Then again, if it's wine............

MtB Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 My brother makes a rather fine Marmite wine This seems unlikely! Marmite is for scoffing on toast, not bunging into wine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuthound Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 My brother makes a rather fine Marmite wine Given that Marmite was invented as a way of selling surplus brewers yeast, it would appear to have come full circle in this recipe.

Monica Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Love Marmite and cheese sandwiches, and putting it into stews. My fav is Leek and Marmite Gravy, made the old fashioned way, and totally better than anything from a jar (Bisto onion gravy excluded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamm Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 A teaspoon of Marmite with a very small amount of hot water to make it runny. Pour over potatoes before roasting. Delicious flavour, browns and crisps them up a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbouy Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 You can go on about Marmots but have you tried Vegemite (reported to be originally from the dregs of Victoria Bitter vats !). It must be pretty good as it was bought out by our old friend Kraft. Cheers Tim ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMModels Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Is marmite in any way taste related to Bovril? Seems to be used in meat recipes in the same manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray T Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Is marmite in any way taste related to Bovril? Seems to be used in meat recipes in the same manner. I prefer Bovril, Marmite is a little bitter to my taste. http://jewelpie.com/this-or-that-marmite-vs-bovril/ At one time Bovril contained beef extract. http://reluctantnomad.blogspot.co.uk/2005/09/bovril-vs-marmite_17.html My mother stocked both but I was never keen on Marmite. They looked the same and their bottles were very similar even if the Bovril logo was mostly red and the Marmite one mostly yellow. Apart from the taste, the big differentiating factor was that Bovril was made from beef, Marmite from a yeast extract. So, you can imagine my dismay to hear, late last year, that Bovril had decided to dispense with the beef and become yet another product based on a yeast extract. Reasons cited for this change were drops in sales sparked off by mad cow disease and export restrictions overseas. These restrictions were based on those mad cows and restrictions introduced by Malaysia, one of the biggest Bovril markets, on non-halal meat products. It seems that the Malaysians are very keen on stirring Bovril into their porridge and coffee. Edited July 23, 2016 by Ray T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to try Marmite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
