metanoia Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Apologies if you've done this before - but after Starcoaster's suggestion of adding Marmite to noodles in lieu of the chemical sachet, got a taste for it again. What are your favourite Marmite recipes (excluding Nigella's Marmite spaghetti, of course)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murflynn Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 marmite on cheese on buttered toast, under the grill for a minute. When I worked in the rainforest in Burma I stayed in the company's log cabin camp, which had a small canteen operated by charming young girls from the local village who spoke no English. We made up our own lunch packs at breakfast time using imported western foods. I was the new manager and on the first day I took out my jar of marmite and made up a sandwich of cheese, sliced hard-boiled egg, tomatoes, sliced raw onions, marmite and mayonnaise on freshly baked white buttered bread, with a good sprinkling of pepper. I noticed a girl watching me intently. After I had packed my sandwich she came and gently took the marmite away from me with a smile. The next day a complete sandwich made according to my exact specification was waiting at my table. I thanked the girl with the usual hands together and a little bow. It made her day and she made my sandwich for the next 2 years. What lovely unspoilt people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly lovely people - AND they appreciate Marmite! - lovely (but possibly no longer unspoilt?) people. That's what we and "progress" do to the world, sadly).

Murflynn Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 on the same project in Burma the Australian contractor, who employed about 50 expat aussies, suffered a strike when the canteen ran out of Vegemite. they had to send a messenger to Singapore to replenish the stock, 4 flights but luckily completed within 24 hours.

metanoia Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 But Vegemite isn't a patch on our good old Marmite. I have done extensive trials. Assume you hadn't let them get their hands on yours to give them a taste for the "real thing"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray T Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 My mum used to make cheese and Marmite wheels. You’ll need: • ¾ cup of self raising flour• 2 tbl spoons of butter• 1 tsp of sugar• 3 tbl spoons of milk (add accordingly)• 3 tbl spoons of marmite• ½ cup of cheese Here’s how: Preheat over to 200⁰Celcius Place flour and sugar into a medium bowl and mix Add butter and mix with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs Slowly add milk, to make soft, sticky dough. Add more flour if still too sticky Sprinkle flour using shaker over the chopping board. Cover hands with flour and roll mixture into dough ball. Knead lightly on flour surface. Using rolling pin, roll out dough into a rectangle shape, roughly ½ inch thick. Spread on marmite evenly and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Roll tightly and cut into even rolls, place rolls face up on greased tin to bake. Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume you hadn't let them get their hands on yours to give them a taste for the "real thing"? no, but a fat greedy Canadian 'borrowed' my marmite at breakfast in an Albanian company guest house, thinking it was chocolate spread. B*st*rd took a full dessert spoonful and put it straight in his gob. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he spluttered and spat it out across the table.

Ally Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Marmite stirred into savoury beef mince, or into stews. Marmite as a drink, just add boiling water, marmite on buttered crumpets with poached egg ontop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metanoia Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Metanoia. Your avata? Are you in Australia??? Rob.... Yes - on a quest for a better vegemite. No - not really! If you're referring to my picture - just find life (and most people in it) looks better from that perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machpoint005 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Baked beans cry out for a bed of toast and Marmite. Incidentally, 'beefy flavour' crisps are vegetarian - they are flavoured with Marmite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldPeculier Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 15 minutes before your roast potatoes are ready, spread a little Marmite on them and return to the oven to finish off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Peanut butter and Marmite on toast. As a kid all our mums used to give us this. As an adult whenever I mention it I get looks of askance and comments like 'YUK'. But it's DELICIOUS, works really well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We prefer to do this with soft cheese, laughing cow is good, especially the blue one. It looks dramatic too. ..............Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
