Cheese and Marmite Toastie

[Chilli.s]

So Iv invented a new breakfast...

You take your bog standard marmite toast, add a layer of peanut butter, add a light dusting of finely chopped kimchi, finish with a sprinkling of fine chopped biltong. A taste sensation, and all the food groups.

Without a doubt, I'm going to try that. Thank you

Nigella's a right wuss – I'd double the quantity of marmite in the spaghetti, at least.

And then throw it all in the bin.

The correct way to read the poll is that 83% of people are simply wrong.

No Marmite?

No Marmite?

I can't eat this close to taking night time medication or I get bad stomach pains.

I haven't tried this, but there's a bakery near work that sells cheese and marmite rolls. They are baked with the cheese and marmite in and they are delicious.

I managed to hold off eating one of these long enough to get a picture.. Cheese and marmite on top and in the middle.

Oh. My. God. They look even better than the cheese and marmite teacakes.

 

[Voley]

Yeah they look fab Maggot. I can't imagine one is enough ...

I was just about to order a refill of my marmite when I noticed the price had risen in just a couple of weeks from $7 to $10 for a 4 oz jar

That is outrageous. Had the UK seen a similar recent price spike in this delicacy?

A lot of stuff here is increasing in price again, looks like marmite is affected, I've not bought any for a couple of months but seems to have gone up in price on my usual supermarket site.
Butter too has crept back up in price, so a buttered toast with marmite breakfast is more expensive than it was a couple of months ago.

125 g is about 5 oz? 2.5 pounds is about $3?

Looks like I need to get on an airplane and hit up a London supermarket

It's for your own good to deter you from buying it.

You could always go for a bucket of it. $16.41 for 600g. Bit pricey tho

The plastic tub must make a difference in price - the marmite in jars, the jar itself is really heavy and that adds to the cost of shipping considerably.

Sending a jar through the post from here to the US wouldn't work out any cheaper I don't think than the price from the supplier quoted by bcuster

You got through a jar in about 2 weeks?
Was that all you or have you been grading your friends on whether they like it or not?
Marmite lovers being the best sort of people and the ones you would let into your bunker come the Zombie apocalypse.
Provided they bring their own Marmite of course.

I like it very much on toast, just as I was instructed here. It is a small jar and I ate some nearly day. Now, I'm at the bottom of the jar. But $10 for a tiny refill? That's rough


Maybe the price spike was temporary...

Marmite is made in the US under the name Vegex. It was first made in 1013 and as far as I can find out it is still made.
Try looking for that on Amazon, I'm sure it would be cheaper than importing Marmite.

As old as that?!

The 1000 years anniversary was wild.

I just had to look this up, had NO idea what it was, I have a bottle of soy sauce, it's probably very out of date and I doubt it will ever get replaced. Umami is obviously just not things I use.

Peanut butter, at least the unsweetened type is pretty high it two of the main umami peptides.
