Spurred on by this conversation we have just had Marmite on toast for lunch. Cheers Dennis You have my condolences… Richard Kagemusha and mpk 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Out2gtcha 35,848 Posted Tuesday at 07:01 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:01 PM Never tried it but I really can only think of one thing when I hear Vegemite. I instantly get transported back to the 80s....... Kagemusha, mpk, mambodan72 and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly neither of you has ever partaken of the piedmont NC/SC delicacy of livermush. Sliced and fried in butter to a crispy outside and a soft inside, with grits and some over easy farm fresh eggs, it simply can't be beaten for breakfast (or breakfast for dinner). :)- mpk and Oldbaldguy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bob MDC 606 Posted Tuesday at 11:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:54 PM In my mining days we bought a front loading shovel from a brewery in Burton on Trent (the home of Marmite) the machine was used on moving yeast concentrate only, the raw material for the said substance. We thought the price was good until we had to replace the tyres, hydraulic hoses, ALL rubber seals and gaskets on the engine and hydraulic system anything rubber or rubber based was rotted I never liked the stuff before but after that it has given me a great excuse Bob mpk and RLWP 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Tried Marmite once - tasted like the liquid-residue from Satan's jock-strap after he had run a full marathon. Horrible, nasty, unpleasant stuff. Chris. As others have said, you either love it or hate it, and I'm most definitely in the former category. Best on hot straight-out-from-the-toaster buttered toast, but one of my favourite sandwiches is cheese and Marmite. Also, a small dollop gives a great flavour when making gravy. mpk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamC 28 Posted Wednesday at 04:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:04 PM Food of the Gods for some may be Vegemite or Marmite. I had a friend at work who liked both, tried both but they were not to my liking. My preference for Food of the Gods is more for fish and brewis with scruncheons. cheers, Graham mpk 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But Vegemite over buttered toast - can’t beat it. Edited yesterday at 01:26 AM by Pup7309 mpk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
