Anyone else like Marmite?

Mmmm, let's see. There's;
Spotted Dick
Tiddle oggies
Crumpets (not to be mistaken as a Wompet).

OK - I had never heard of this stuff, but the thread perked my attention - so I looked in the local supermarkets: Vons, Albertsons, Krogers, A&P - No luck in Southern California - - - - yet.

Some items like Branston Pickle and Marmite we can find at the local grocery stores other we need to go to the may British shops that dot the countryside. they sell this stuff plus tea towels (converted) British tv shows etc and knick-knacks

I had never heard of the stuff before seeing it mentioned in this thread but just this weekend I was food shopping when i glanced up and saw a jar of it sitting right there in front of me. Considering it a very serendipitous find, I picked it up. I got home and made myself a little marmite, smoked gouda, and toast sandwich and I must say it was DELICIOUS. I tried the marmite itself on toast but it wasn't as tasty so I made myself another with smoked gouda. My daughter took a look at the brown goop, sniffed and said it was disgusting but I made her try some and she ended up stealing the second half of my sandwich.

Ted,

You were absolutely right about the Marmite pairing well with steak. I grilled some London Broil tonight and couldn't resist trying it. Thanks for the idea. And in case you want to know how...I used kosher salt, black pepper, and herbes de provence and grilled until medium (about 10 minutes per side on medium to medium high heat), made nice thin cuts and slathered on the good stuff.

Cheers!

I haven't found a jar of marmite yet, and it's been a long time, so I wouldn't be able to suggest anything more... Perhaps one of these days...

That is, however, how i cook my london broils. The K salt floats much better on the surface of the meat and can even help form a carmalized crust. I could tell you more if I had a taste of marmite to think about the other flavors that would be complimentary.

I am very glad that it worked well! and hope to try it some day.

OK - I found some. Now tell me how to use this weird looking strange tasting stuff.

Like jelly? Worchestershire sauce? Cheese?

How do I eat it? On toast? Crumpets? Bagels?

Inform me please.

I would put it on a soda cracker, then think about what other flavors would be good with it. It's bothering me that I can't remember exactly what it tastes like. It would go with the saltier foods...

I know! get yourself some of those large soft pretzles and use it as a dip. I seem to remember a slight bitterness to it. If so, then that would compliment the slight sweetness of the breads and carbs... Or just get a spoon and eat it in the RAW.
