anything marmite

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

All things marmite get a thumbs up from me.
Although I only ever use it as a spread on crackers or toast.

I saw a first yesterday.

Marmite stock cubes. Any thoughts what they are for?

According to El Corte Ingles, marmite can be added to soups or stews or put into a compound butter or grilled cheeses or au gratin cheese dishes ..

I have read that marmite is banned in Denmark for health reasons.

Does this product contain transgenetics or Genetically Modified chemicals ?

I have never used it or tasted it, however, next time I am in El Corte Ingles, I shall read the labels.

Member 461 is right
It has come full circle

If you look at the Marmite label it has a picture of a marmite, a soup pot. Marmite was originally intended as a stock basis and got adopted as a spread. I had a friend who really liked Marmite grave, and I’ve certainly used it where you want a strong umami hit in veggie recipes

I agree with you, Gill.
Even Marmite Spaghetti.

I wonder whether a Marmite Bullshot would work?

I think Marmite was banned in Denmark, but only briefly, there was such an outcry that the ban was lifted.

I knew a Dutch lady, who was a complete Anglophile, who was shocked when she saw (the rather moderate) amount I put on my toast, she told me it should only be a very tiny smear. And an American who has never forgotten the very, very tiny smear she tasted on a savoury scone. She said she thought she’d been poisoned and could taste it for three days. She brings the subject up very regularly!

A couple of years ago, Saveurs the French cookery magazine did an article on Marmite. Although of course they decided Marmite was a curiosity, they did a recipe for Marmite roast potatoes. Essentially they were parboiled (I think, but I do it anyway) and then roasted with a mixture of Marmite, garlic and parsley in olive oil. My grandchildren adore them done this way.
Talking of Marmite, the Marmite cashews I buy in Sainsbury’s are a lovely mid week aperitif .

Oh, I've not seen the cashews neither. 2 things to put on my shopping list then.

Ha ha ha, to the bull shot.
And I thought I was being adventurous ordering a tabasco beer (corona with tabasco and lime).

And as for a Marmite and watercress sandwich in whole meal bread......

Or poached egg on Marmite toast...

You've got to add either cheese or sliced chicken breast

I use it as a base for a veggie minestrone soup when d-i-l is around

I love marmite on toast, although toast isn't my go to breakfast. I always tend to use a bit in a beef stew , to give it some extra Unami.

I know a couple of years ago, some famous chocolatier made marmite chocolate. That I couldn't get my head round. One of my friend swears by marmite Walkers crisps

I have this book (from a charity shop), but it isn't really serious, in fact looking through the actual recipes just now, I was conscious of the fact that my face was screwed up in that grimace you get when sniffing something really toxic, maybe it was designed to wean people off Marmite...

Thinking out loud though, I wonder if Marmite would make a useful soy substitute in a crisis, it's a bit like concentrated soy sauce, a couple of the recipes in the book seem to use it that way.

I had a hankering after some Marmite the other day in Tesco, but then I saw the price and my hanker disappeared.

[Luca Profile]

I love Marmite. As others have mentioned and in no particular order with...

Hot toast, pitta bread, baguette, sourdough, crumpets.
Cheddar cheese and a slight spread of it. Ian finally convinced me.
Sometimes, but rarely, with boiling water as a drink.
Watercress - super combo
Spread very lightly, and I mean a smidgen, well mixed with a little butter and then on bread of choice with thin cucumber slices is a delight. Not bad with tomatoes too.

When I was both a student in France, and then living there married to a Frenchman it was always on the wish list for whomsoever would be next going to the UK.

Despite not being much of a fan of Twiglets, I only like Marmite on either wholemeal/granary toast or crackers such as Krackerwheat. Yes I know this sounds bonkers! It's also great when you've got such a bad cold that you can't taste anything else ..... except Marmite

I would think that the Marmite stock cubes were designed to as that savoury 'beefiness' to vegetarian dishes. the taste of Beef Oxo stock always reminds me of Marmite anyway.

When we lived in the Netherlands, we always took Marmite back with us from a UK visit. It could be bought there but was eye-wateringly expensive.
Marmite heaven for me is a hot, well-buttered crumpet with Marmite and topped with crumbly Lancashire cheese.

Yup

There´s a small chain of restaurants in Mexico City called " Fisher´s". They specialise in breakfasts, although they´re open all day long. We went there one morning and my son ordered me a " Michelada Especial". A pint of beer, a pint of tomato juice, habanero chiles, lime and "sal de chapulín" ( spiced salt with ground grasshoppers). That kicked the hangover.

[Gillthepainter Profile Website]

I'm thinking the grasshopper makes you chirpy for the day, Clive.

I now have many more marmite uses to my repertoire. I've only ever used it on toast. Or on ryvitas with cottage cheese.

Marmite and egg on toast it shall be on Sunday, after my sister's 60th on Saturday.

To be honest, I don't mind the fake ones in the supermarkets that I feel are close to half the price. But not vegemite.

Whilst I was away staying with Colin, he suggested a Marmite drink on our return from shopping on a cold wet day. I really enjoyed it although he said that it was a bit strong!! Not a worry for me though!

I love it on hot buttered crumpets.

I didn't like Vegemite Gill.
