Love marmite, and do not feel the need to spread it thinly :-)

Also love twiglets. Used to suck Oxos when I was a kid, but have not done so for some time.

Apparently, things with a lot of B vitamins (like Marmite) make your pee more yellwo than normal,
so you may be hydrated even when pee is yellow, if you've eaten lots of MM.

BTW, it is woth mentioning that a lot of real ales contain a lot of vitamins.. :-)

Well you might be able to guess that I'm also more than a little fond of the ultimate toast topping (although Vegemite is also fantastic)!!

Seeming as I unwittingly sparked off this accolade to marmite, can I also link it to all the musical threads by reminding you of the immortal line 'But he just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich'.
Extra round of marmite toast to the first person to name the band!

mmmm...marmite

Tim - I sneak bites out of Knorr cubes as a kid, we didn't have Oxo. Apparently it's all down to Umami, say the food technologists. s.

OK Marmite lovers - who has turned Marmite white? This is the big test for a true lover of the brown stuff. (and i don't mean beer!)

Umami?

White Marmite?

Sad that they have redesigned Oxos to dissolve completely, it was great to find a big
blob of Oxo on a roast potato at Sunday Lunch...mmmm.
Never tried Vegemite.

OK - here's what you do for white marmite - put large amounts of standard marmite on your toast/bread whatever. Catch the bit that drips through the hole in the bread on a saucer. Whilst munching on the rest of your toast, idly tap the splodge of marmite with a metal teaspoon or end of knife (must be metal). After some minutes (usually about 2 and a half slices of well chewed toast) the marmite on the plat will turn WHITE!! Yes - white Marmite. Still tastes of marmite as well.

Laura, I always thought the lyric was "a bit o' my sandwich" rather than vegamite

Mind you I thought Barbera-anne was Ba Ba Ba - Ba Ba Ba Ram as in sheep

Shows what do I know

Marmite rules!
