marmite, i have seen the light!!.......

......or tasted it anyway

i used to hate this stuff, and i mean HATE. wrong in everyway, but last week at a breakfast in a hotel i had an apiphany. seen some in a little plastic pot amongst the jams, marmalades and honey, and decided to grab a pot.

the last time i tried this what thought was minging filth, was ooooohhhh, around 20 year ago and i nearly threw up. now, i'm not fussy in eating at all (except tripe, now THAT is wrong!! ) but marmite??????????


i LOVED it, and i mean LOVED it, i want to marry it, sleep with it, buy it presents, take it to a movie (well, you get the general idea ) i bought some at the weekend and just had 4 pieces of toast smothered in the stuff


justt hought i'd share my epiphany


its the future!!

 

Go for it Al n! My other half loves it, but I can't stand the stuff.

 

See, there's Marmite, then there's Bovril? Not sure if I like both of them, or none of them

 

Thats probably because your tastebuds change once every 7 years and stuff you never liked before now tastes good

 

I love marmite and bovril on toast, only trouble is the wife thinks I stink when I eat it and wont come anywhere near me. My 2 year old son love it too, but apparently when he eats it he doesnt stink like I do.

Does that mean that one day, everyone will like Sprouts?

 

Try telling my husband that Freddy, he can't stand them, never could!

 

Bovril for me ....

2 fresh crusty slices of white bread .... lots of butter .... a very thin layer of bovril .... a few slices of mature cheddar cheese .... a handfull of roast chicken flavour crips added to the sandwich .... and a can of ice cold coke ...

a perfect lunch

 

i LOVE sprouts! krimmy dinner aint krimmy dinner without sprouts.

 

Not particularly healthy though, and probably ecologically unsound

 

i'll have to make marmite sarnies for luch one day to take to work this week. i'll pretend its choccy spread and get one of them there staff in work to take a bite mean, moi?????

 

I too developed a taste after years and have a jar for when the fancy strikes me to have it on toast. We have friends here who love it on bread with cream cheese and buy the biggest jars I have ever seen in my life.

We love Bovril, but buy the cubes to make a drink. I also recently bought Bovril gravy ... but it's currently too hot to make gravy ..

 

its weird tho, its salty, burnt tasting, slightly hoppy, bitter, but its maybe i'll like tripe now the noooo??!!

 

OK ... I'll rephrase it ...

2 fresh crusty slices of non GMO white bread .... lots of organic butter .... a very thin layer of bovril .... a few slices of organic unpasturised mature cheddar cheese .... a handfull of organic roast chicken flavour crips added to the sandwich .... and a marks and spencer's fresh orange juice (with bits) ... (not from concentrate)
