Marmite

Chiming in from the states here. I like to make a box of velveeta brand macaroni & cheese, specifically the kind that comes with a packet of bacon bits, and add a teaspoon or two (or I just eyeball it if I'm using a squeezy bottle) of marmite to the bowl along with the quasi-cheese sauce and bacon bits. I usually add a tiny dollop of Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce to the bowl as well. When it spreads out into a pool the hot sauce should be larger than a US dime but ***aller than a US penny. If it's the size of a US quarter, you had better hope that you added the hot sauce to the bowl before you added anything else, because you just used too much and need to rinse the bowl out. Insanity sauce can be very difficult to measure. The marmite really helps add another layer of savory goodness to this mixture. Of course the easiest and best marmite meal is just two plain bagels, cut in halves, toasted until golden brown, liberally buttered, and conservatively marmited. Simple and effective at filling one's belly, and not likely to give you stomach upset like my first meal suggestion.

I live in New Zealand now and Marmite is sold under the name 'Our Mate' as the Aussies already swiped the name Marmite years ago to make this black pastie stuff. Nothing like our trusty POMi spread. My wife being a Kiwi obviously prefers the Aussie/Kiwi stuff but I have managed to introduse Marmite to our siblings successfully. I get regular shipments from my mother in the UK as it's quite expensive here. Sharing a food combo, I like Marmite and Peanut Butter sandwiches. If I find out any more uses I will try and find the time to let yo know but with 3 littlies I don't get much time. By for now. Chris

Nobody is answering the question put - it is an interesting one - how is M. consumed around the world? As a once-upon-a-time ex-pat, I know that exiled brits go crazy for it and sulk when they can´t get their Marmite fix. But what about other nationalities? As a business lecturer at a UK university I often use the hypothetical example of launching Marmite in Mauritius. I have no idea, however of possible acceptance there. Anyone?

I love marmite stirred through scrambled egg, and also in cheese scones, either in the baking or the spreading afterwards. Mmmn

I love loads of marmite stirred into a pot of cottage cheese. Don't know why no one has made this flavour? Sure beats chives!

I have Marmite in baked beans, Try it you will not be dissapointed.
