Marmite, no doubt. Its delicious.

Also, if you like it, its worth trying to get your hands on some of this - Marmite XO. Its stronger and even more delicious.

An explosion of umami in your mouth. Very salty/yeasty goodness. But I can see how maybe it is an acquired taste. But I don't like sweet things for breakfast and when I am in a rush a little marm on toast is good, sort of satisfies that meaty/salty/umami mussing up your pots and pans.

>> No.4500510

Whichever you choose, your mite loving destiny could well be determined by how you apply it to your toast. Yes, it must be toast. Then light butter / marge. Finally just SMEAR your chosen mite. SMEARING is key. It's powerful stuff to the uninitiated. Eventually you will build your tolerance.

p.s. I prefer Vegemite (kiwi)

Good advice.
Marmite, in my opinion, is a little stronger than Vegemite... But also take the advice above and smear it on toast, don't load it up until you've decided you can take it.
Also really good in stews.

Vegemite started as a wartime substitute for Marmite

Marmite is most enjoyed in Britian, the capital of white-trash.

>> No.4504256

It actually reminds me of miso but with the flavour turned up 1000x. Which needless to say is a bit over the top unless you're using miniscule amounts.

>> No.4504257

Vegemite has a bolder taste, but despite what people say, they're pretty much the same.

>>4500445
it's very salty and very savoury. but it's not a meaty flavour. it's a bit like licking a stock cube but in a good way. vegemite pretty much only tastes like vegemite, it's hard to describe.

>> No.4504260

>>4504224
always butter your bread before putting vegemite on too, changes the taste completely.

How about Bovril?

Is that any good?

>> No.4504307

>>4504291
You drink that stuff. About a teaspoon in tea-hot water and stir. I like marmite and Vegemite but I don't enjoy bovril. Once upon a time it was a beef tea I believe, useful particularly to aid recuperation (don't quote me on that, it's what I was told) but then, here in the UK they decided to go for veggie. However, some people do use it on toast.

Marmite & salt and vinegar chips/crisps is a total winner.
So is a marmite and mature cheddar cheese sarnie.
And you have to try marmite and Nutella on toast (Nutella on top of marmite as its runnier)

Yup, I mentioned this earlier, but I understand that something similar was originally used by the French as a stock, around the turn of the 20th century There was a documentary on Edwardian & Victorian foods a whileback and it stuck in my head along with shitloads of other useless trivia that I doubt I will ever need to use.

Eating vegemite as this thread came up. Haven't tried marmite but I heard it's great. Also promite.

>>4500330
I think this is a large misunderstanding because of the way people eat Vegemite. I am Australian, and when people say it tastes awful I always ask how they've done it. They said they use it by itself and put it on about the same amount as peanut butter. This is awful if you do it this way.

Butter first, and a LITTLE bit of vegemite. Not too much. You still want to sort of see the bread underneath it.
