Corraleno Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 WARNING: A little goes a loooooong way. Do not spread it like jam! DH (born & raised in the UK) loves the stuff. DS, the pickiest eater ever born, used to adore peanut-butter & marmite sarnies. I can't even be in the same room with an open jar of the stuff. :ack2: Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritAnnia Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 My kids love to test their new friends out by offering a taste of marmite. If you don't love the stuff as a spread then you can use a teaspoon of it in beef dishes for an extra rich flavour. (A little smear is also wonderful for getting a dog to swallow a pill.)

BritAnnia Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I had second thoughts before posting... should have been enough to stay my clicking finger, eh? :laugh: The smell of marmite is somewhat beefy though it's not a meat product at all. Tricks canine tastebuds very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 That stuff is disgusting! So pronounces Rosie, the Vegemite consumer. ;) :iagree: Vegemite is much better! To me Marmite tastes oniony and Vegemite tastes yummy, yeasty, Guinessy. (I especially like to mix Vegemite with cream cheese) Darn! now I want some and we're all out!

elise1mds Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 They're BOTH equally gross. :ack2: DH *has* to have Vegemite in the house, and he once thought I might like Marmite "better" (as in, I might actually eat it), so he bought some. Equally nauseating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomsintheGarden Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Since Marmite and Vegemite are both made from yeast extract, do they contain processed free glutamic acid (MSG)? Just wondering. GardenMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) My mother made me a Promite sandwich for lunch one day, and I came home with horrified accusations of attempted poisoning. It was that bad! (I believe it sat in the pantry for over three years before someone finally threw it out.) Marmite: Nectar of the Gods!!! :D :ack2: What kind of Gods to you hang out with? As far as I know, orange and pineapple juice blended with frozen yogurt is the nectar of the gods. (At least that would be my beverage of choice if I was a god. :D Served, preferably, with dried apricots filled with sweetened marscapone.

EthiopianFood Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Well, the results are in! I had it on toast, and it tastes like...... BURNT SOY SAUCE! :glare: I was able to finish the slice, though. ;) I'm pretty open-minded though, so I see why someone would like it if they had been raised on it. I'm going to have to find a way to use the stupid bottle though, because it cost over $5 for a little jar! I think it needs some sort of fat or creaminess with it, I'm not sure....

Spy Car Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hmm? :001_huh: Oh yea. Until you get acclimated, spread a generous amount of sweet-butter on hot toast, topped by a parsimonious smear of Marmite. Mmmmmm. "Burned Soy Sauce" is a rather good description BTW.

EthiopianFood Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 "Burned Soy Sauce" is a rather good description BTW. Bill I am rather @nal about knowing exactly WHY I don't like something. "Gross" doesn't cut if for me. It's fine if you don't like it, but you have to know what about it turns you off. Theoretically, I think anyone should like any given food, if given the right exposure (usually in childhood). It bugs me when I can't follow my own logic, so I overthink it as an alternative. :D :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill (ducks to avoid incoming boomerangs ;) ) you won't catch me throwing boomerangs, they come back you know, and I am a hopeless catch. Vegemite is very good for you. it is very high in Vitamin B. and if you eat heaps of vitamin B, than Mosquitoes don't bit as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think it needs some sort of fat or creaminess with it, I'm not sure.... [/color] Try buttering your toast and then putting a little Marmite on. I like it on cold butter too, for example on a good whole grain cracker.
