I always have a jar in the pantry but I rarely eat it these days. When I want the meaty taste but meat-free hit, I prefer miso.

My main way of eating marmite was on buttered toast. But I switched from vegetarian to vegan about 20 years ago and never found a way to replace cow butter and get the same dopamine rush.

I recently discovered Lurpak vegan spread which is almost edible. In general, I hate all margerine - yuk! - but this product is not too offensive. Haven’t tried it on toast with marmite yet as I do not want to be disappointed.

One great way to eat marmite is on spagghetti - cook pasta as normal, meanwhile heat a bit of butter in a pan until melted, add dollop of marmite and a bit of boiling water, let it simmer until it emulsifies. Drain cooked pasta, pour on marmite sauce, stir, serve. Very tasty (and cheap!) I still do this after going vegan but use extra virgin olive oil instead of butter - you can get some very mild olive oil that tastes very buttery - ‘gordo’ olives are the type I mean (avoid the strong oils like Italian Tuscan). Be careful and taste the oil first - some ‘mild’ olives are so sweet they taste like strawberry jam which wont go well with marmite I imagine!

You cannot trust anyone who doesn’t like marmite.

It’s the official spread of !dullsters@dullsters.net

Toast, Butter and Marmite.

can you still get the fabulous Marmite Twiglets in the UK? I live in SE Asia now, and marmite spare ribs are widely available and absolutely delicious, and cheap, so all good.

I like the marmite corn snack from Tesco.

It’s muck.

Delicious. The “Dynamite” version is even better!

I tried it once about 20 years ago, thought it tasted of earwax. Haven’t touched it since, but I keep being tempted to try it again because I hate the thought of not eating everything lol

Funnily enough, given your username, it’s a great addition to a cheese toastie

Generally I’ll just have it on a bit of buttered toast though

I’m really very indifferent to it

I love just a little on hot buttered toast. Too much blows my taste buds.

too much sucks, but a moderate amount is nice.

The Lidl version is better. Spreads much more easily. The name brand stuff is like trying to spread pitch on your toast.

I bloody love it I do

yeah nah you need your head seeing to.

neat on toast, that ain’t right, it’s only good for surfacing roads. that said, I do use it in small amounts in vegetarian casserole (think a quarter teaspoon for a large saucepan). Gives it a bit of a fuller flavour.
