how dare they dis marmite....

[SlugLobber]

Ban it. It's disgusting. AND I've seen it manufactured. Glorified yeast poo. Yuck!

I'm the one in the ad when the bloke downs that sour milk after kissing his girlfriend. Thankfully, OH doesn't eat it, as in the past I did kiss a man who had and it was not nice. I retched like a good 'un!!

[jackie j]

Its bannana and chocolate for me. Or cheese and jam.

[piskieinboots]

so no snogs from SlugLobber then

[SlugLobber]

You're not missing much, Piskie!

[coomber]

OMG its lush I like it spread REALLY thick on toast so it stings the roof of your mouth Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy

[kirsty b]

I hate it, but OH and all the offspring love it.

Getting a bit sick of being told what we should and shouldn't eat. Don't 'they' (whoever they are) think we have the intelligenve to read the ingredient list and make our own decisions! Grr

When I was a toddler, the nurses at baby-clinic called me Marmite because Mum bought so much of it there. When I was about 15, the Girls Brigade I belonged to did a 'camping' week (we slept in sleeping bags, on airbeds, in a church hall). A tummy bug did the rounds, and the only ones NOT to suffer were the Marmite-lovers.
Co-incidence?
Yeah coomber I like rather more than the 'official' amount, and it is great on the 'toast soldiers' to go with a boiled egg (saves adding salt<g>)

Like anything, the salt content is only 'bad for you' in excess. Caution needed in offering it to SMALL babies (but I can remember when it was reckoned a lot better than sugary jams etc).

LOVE THE STUFF!

Got the book for Crimbo a couple of years ago. Bought a jar of the limited edition GUINNESS Marmite for my better-arf, but I ate it all - yummy! Didn't taste of Guinness, or smell of it come to that, but it was easier to spread.

Spread it thick!

[yoanbob]

marmite thickly spread on toast with cheesy baked beans on top. yum

or bannana and marmite sandwich.

[Flummery]

I had it on home-made rye bread toast this morning - wouldn't call the King me uncle!

i have to ask now seeing as there are so many 'lovers' on here, did your mum make you marmite rusks when you were little?

mine did for all of us, and i made them for mine when they were teething....erm and we still make them now

[Glutton4...]

Marmite rusks? Sound Fab! Never tried them, but made cheese straws with it in when I was at school. All my family love the stuff, so I buy it in the biggest jar I can find, and also have a squeezy plastic bottle of it in the Caravan aswell.

Going back a few () years, when I worked in the local pub, my Boss would buy a catering pot (plastic bucket) of Marmite, and we would sit it on the bar and dunk Twiglets in it - made the customers drink more beer too!

Talking of Rusks - do any other adults still eat Farley's Rusks - or am I the only pig?

Changing the subject - there seems to be a lot of bad news and sadness around here lately. I hope it's not contagious, and that everyone gets themselves sorted out. I'm new here, but sense there's a real community spirit among those 'Grapes' who've been here a while, it's almost as if you do all know each other.

Best wishes to all. Hang in there.

oh nooo, caught again, farleys rusks are still my fave breakfast in the winter with hot milk, closely followed by ready brek LOL (and I am 47!).

marmite rusks are fab, especially for teething, all you do is, spread it on brown bread, cut each slice into three, and lay on a baking tray, pop in a low oven until they are rock hard. delish!

One of the ladies at work goes to Costco and picks me up one of the "buckets" of Marmite every so often. Lovely.

As for everyone knowing each other - stick around and you'll soon be part of it.

I love Marmite, only started eating though when I was pregnant with my son nearly 10 years ago! Soooooo yummy!!!!! Son loves it too!
