Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Ok maybe its a British thing to have a smidge of marmite on your toast Yes, certainly. :-) It might be an acquired taste to some I just threw away a jar of Marmite my IL's sent to us. Untouched after 5 years. It took a good 10 minutes of washing and rinsing to get all of the gunk out of the jar and fit for the recycling bin! Lynette, not a Marmite fan...:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Bridget, I lived in London for several years, and while I absolutely adore jolly old England, I can't stand marmite. I figured out it was healthy, and I tried spreading it on toast, but the smell was just too much. But if you like it, munch away.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 Thanx Bridget - now what is marmite pray tell! lol Rita Marmite hi all! Ok maybe its a British thing to have a smidge of marmite on your toast but i was reading the stats on the bottle to enter them into fitday and i got a pleasant surprise: 234 cals per 100 grams (impossible amount to eat at one sitting!) and heaps of protein! 3.6 fat, 14.8 carbs and 43 grams of protein to be exact. It might be an acquired taste to some but its a God send when you can't have anymore peanutbutter on your toast or if you want to liven up your cottage cheese! Just takes the edge off bland and maybe turn off any sweet cravings you have at that moment in time. Bridget. *S* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 <<What is Marmite>> Marmite has been sold for decades in the UK in a small dark brown pot belly looking jar, with a yellow lable. Its a yeast tasting spread you put on toast or on a sandwich (very thin coz the taste is very strong) Its dark brown in colour and very thick. I have given you most tempting description haven't i? *LOL Its vegemite.

Pronounced as it looks, mar-mite is an almost black paste with a great flavour - made from brewer's yeast, onion, carrots, and salt. I use it about 1 teaspoon per pound of meat/food instead of things like soy, worcestershire, or whatever - or instead of salt so as to add more flavour along with the salt. It's got great nutrient value, B vits and such from the yeast, if you don't count the salt:-) (There's no yeast taste.) You can also eat it as a savoury paste on hot buttered toast or crackers, spread VERY thinly - just a scraping here and there for flavour. It's an acquired taste used on bread if you did not grow up with it perhaps - but the people I've offered it to, soon get hooked:-) Folks in UK, South Africa etc will know it. Here's one place to get it in USA: http://www.ukgoods.com/marmite-p-143.html They've got other goodies while you're there:-)) Ginger beer is hard to find in USA. My other favourite is Nestle's milky Bar (creamy white chocolate) No guarantee on O-compliance of these though! Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc, AASCA, MCSSA, D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.
