;D. I'm eating quite a lot ....... to fill the energy gaps because dates gave me ........ :-X in the bowel department .
So: hate it or love it; how do U eat it? My current choice is thickly sliced toast with butter followed by Marmite; or without butter at all. It's a job getting the product smeared thinly though ::)
-
I love it. ;D
On hot buttered toast, thinly spread. 😋
It’s really good for you. 👍
-
On cheese on toast, or rather on the bread under the cheese on toast 👍
-
When FinL came back in August 1945 after being 'in the care of the Japenese, 'helping' to build a railway, every1 was given a small pot of Marmite and a packet of fags.
Under cheese - now there's a thought. :thankyou:
-
On sprouts, pan fried with butter!
-
Ooh love marmite, delish with avocado on toast, and all other ways mentioned!
-
I love sprouts, slightly salted and simmered for a few moments. Drained. They continue cooking in their 'shells'. Covered with butter and black pepper.
Avocados take a lot of water to grow so aren't really a 'green' fruit when picking and travel costs are considered. I still don't know whether I like them ;D
-
They grow abundantly in Zimbabwe where I sent some time in my youth, had a tree and they just fell virtually on to my plate, so was pretty “green” when I used to eat them!
-
Morning Lesred - do U miss Africa?
-
Morning CLKD
Africa gets in your blood so yes, Zimbabwe is/was a beautiful country with lovely people, visit my sister in the Falls when we can :) and now my grown up children love it too! Perfect for a holiday and avocados ;)
-
My Aunt was from Southern Rhodesia as it was so cousins half African. My eldest cousin has the country in his blood, feels like he's 'come home' on landing at Nairobi.
-
Thinly spread on buttered toast, on bread & butter & in sandwiches with cucumber.
-
AAAh. - cucumber, good idea.
-
Nice Wrensong :)
-
Hi Lesred, I had a friend from Zimbabwe years ago who used to make bacon & banana sandwiches - that lovely sweet & salty combo. I never knew whether it was peculiar to her family or a Zimbabwe thing? Your posting here reminded me of it :).
-
Marmite is my go-to when I feel down. For me it should be white bread, toasted and slathered in Cornish butter and a mediumish amount of the good stuff spread on top.. mmmm
-
Yep. My mouth is watering ;D
-
We already knew that Soldiers in the Great War were given pots of Marmite in their rations as well as Prisoners returning from the Far East had a small pot as well as a packet of 12 cigarettes on disembarking from the US in August 1945.
DH was reading that it's also good for treating anaemia. mayB something, if 1 likes the stuff, to consider if 1 feels that iron supplement doesn't suit?
Stuffed now. marmite on toast with tomatoes for lunch ::)
-
clkd - have you tried the individual marmite mini cheeses? - I luv them and always have a supply in the fridge ... for a quick snack
-

Any1 remember Twiglets? Seemed to arrive in shops, mid-Dec .
-
Yes, loved Twiglets CLKD!
-

-
Taz, though thankfully not coeliac, I was WF then GF for a decade or more on gastroenterology advice, making a vast array of delicious foods suddenly verboten & smashing with one blow my recipe repertoire compiled over 3+ decades :'(. Violins please ;) I hadn't noticed Twiglets in the shops in recent years. Are they still available?
-
I don't think that they are sold any more ...... did the sale Police get to them?
-
