@diane,
I believe that it's an English thing actually as I've not encountered it in other European cities that I've visited... so far.

Anyone based in other European cities care to comment on that?

Definitely a European thing, I've never heard of it, but it sounds awful! (I don't get out much LOL!)

@waitingkitty,
Of course I know brovil, ate quite alot of that as well. If I remember correctly, it contains beef extract, yah?

@anon,
It seems that the entire world is divided into either the kaya toast or marmite toast lovers. lol!

2008-06-02T05:51:00.000+01:00

i prefer my kaya toast lah. Hey, but i thought its usually the ozzies and kiwis who will eat Marmite that way? Hmm, anyway, they belong to the same family though.. Cheers. Mei

@capybara,
Kind of remind you of home when you're away doesn't it?

But to have marmite on toast is really an acquired taste, for me at least. :P

2008-06-01T17:44:00.000+01:00

Ilove marmite on toast and have a huge jar in the cupboard, when I was away at sea in my youth I always took a couple of jars with me!

2008-06-01T10:10:00.000+01:00

@ladybanana,
Haha... oh well. You should really try it. Spent the better part of my childhood having that regularly. :p

2008-06-01T10:08:00.000+01:00

@kyh,
Had this thinking that our kaya is a much better bet compared to marmite on toast. Just thinking about the melted kaya on toast make me salivate.

Marmite, you either love it or hate it.. That's ho...

2008-05-31T21:53:00.000+01:00

Marmite, you either love it or hate it.. That's how the ad goes..

I love it on toast or in cheese sandwiches but in porridge!???!!! YUCK YUCK! never heard of that and the idea of it is revolting..LOL

2008-05-31T20:23:00.000+01:00

in our part of the world, marmite does tend to associate itself with porridge, but in western countries, marmite is served on toasts and watever food that can make a good combination out of it!

2008-05-31T16:40:00.000+01:00

@sweet jasmine,
You know what? It's times like that when you discover lots of different ways to cook basically the same thing. Ahh, the beauty of blogging.

Cooking marmite with mee sua? Hmm... I can totally imagine the taste. Mmmm... will try that out!

2008-05-31T16:38:00.000+01:00

@sher,
Marmite with crisp? Hmm, haven't seen one of those around since I've been to London. Must have either selling like hot cakes or taken off the shelves...

Ah... you're one of those beer babes! Haha... if you're in Singapore, you'll be peddling beer at those kopitiam to those uncles.. wuah hah hah... erm. Sorry.

Yeast head? So what do they use it for?

2008-05-31T16:35:00.000+01:00

@lina,
I wonder what's the deal with Scott's emulsion??!!

All parents out there, if you don't like the taste of the Emulsion, please... please don't force it down your children's throat.

They'll remember you for that... :0

2008-05-31T16:33:00.000+01:00

@acura,
Really? That's a new one... with chicken wings. Ok, I'll go coat the wings with marmite and throw them into the oven. Will post about it (if it turns out well). :p

Thanks for the tip!

@my bug life,Oh, haha... Ok. But I didn't realized...

2008-05-31T16:28:00.000+01:00

@my bug life,
Oh, haha... Ok. But I didn't realized that they have it in crab flavor. I know of the vegetarian variety though...

2008-05-31T13:43:00.000+01:00

Hi, happen to blog hop here...I do love Marmite and Brovil. Have been eating them since young. Marmite on toast my favorite too. I mixed a tsp pf marmite with flavored onion oil on cook mee sua. Taste heavenly for me.Cheers.

2008-05-31T13:31:00.000+01:00

Oh my dear haven't your heard.. Marmite with cheese on toast is an all time English favourite. At least for me.. missed those walkers marmite crisps. And I love the way they packed marmite in tiny packs like your butter!!!

Marmite.. I LOVE it.. wonder why..visited Young's brewery in Wandsworth before they sold it away. Guess what? They sold their first yeast head from beer fermentation

I meant crab in marmite alone tastes all right. No...

2008-05-31T13:06:00.000+01:00

I meant crab in marmite alone tastes all right. Not porridge with both crab and marmite..that's weird..:D

2008-05-31T10:22:00.000+01:00

C K,
My dad used to put marmite on my porridge when I was a kid too and stuff me with Cod Liver Oil. Marmite I can take, but that Scott's Emulsion - blergh!!!

I hate Marmite as well. I don't understand how peo...

2008-05-31T09:28:00.000+01:00

I hate Marmite as well. I don't understand how people can like that black gooey stuff. But taste fine with chicken wings though haha

2008-05-31T07:03:00.000+01:00

@jasmine shanea,
Oh... pleeeease don't remind me of the cod liver oil. I remembered vomiting all over my food after having some forced down my throat.

2008-05-31T06:46:00.000+01:00

no marmite for me... hate the taste since young and will hate it forever. Bad childhood experiences with marmite and cod liver oil. *bleagh* wonder why our parents thought it was good for us...

2008-05-31T06:44:00.000+01:00

@my bug life,
With crabs in porridge, why would you add marmite???
Somehow, my mum thought that marmite was good for me when I was a kid... so I ended up swallowing quite abit of that. :p
