Only hardcore fans can get away with this! A thin smear per bites-worth of toast is plenty. Having said that, there is NO grey area with Marmite! You either love it madly or hate it intensely. (Just for the record, I'm a lover. I have every respect for the haters though!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amina Sopwith Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Mmm, Marmite. But yes, couldn't agree more with this: 3 minutes ago, Odaks said: The uninitiated tend to wack Marmite on in similar fashion to spreading peanut butter on; the experience doesn't end well. Only hardcore fans can get away with this! A thin smear per bites-worth of toast is plenty. You need to put a little butter or spread on the toast and then yes, just a lick of Marmite. It also goes well on cheese on toast, spread it thinly before putting the cheese on and grilling. Also, if you make veggie French onion soup, add a teaspoon of Marmite while caramelising the onions. Amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McGregor Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) I was tricked eating Marmite being told it was something sweet ( in my country we have dark black sweet marmelade made out of pears called 'Stroop' ). I still suffer from that enough to avoid it forever ... ETA : .... after one single bite. Edited May 13, 2020 by TDD123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a new crusade. Ok, "colonials" I can translate, but which sacred sauce have we corrupted? But you're ok with "biscuit"? And zomg... you're someone who puts extra U's into words??? I never noticed. After all this time, I never noticed! hm... If I'm one of the clueless colonials (and I kinda like that sobriquet) whom you have blocked, does that mean I can write all kinds of taunting posts at you? Post real pictures of real biscuits and boots and fanny packs and... and you'll never notice!? bwahahahaha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odaks Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Here's a peeve. (This was a "peeves" thread wasn't it?) Worcestershire Sauce has not received a single mention so far. Its the one essential ingredient that fixes almost anything savoury that "mmm..........needs something". 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orwar Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just now, Janet Voxel said: Wouldn’t call that a....meal? Well, there's both rice porridge and rice pudding, the latter is (at least here) occasionally sweetened, served cold, and either made with cream or mixed with whipped cream. Ris à la Malta is a traditional Yule-time desert, made by stirring together whipped cream and rice porridge with clementines or oranges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in the Bay Area, there was a many starred restaurant that served classy, European-type meals and the head chef hosted cooking classes every so often. His secret ingredient go-to was Worcestershire Sauce! From then forward I drizzle it in most anything savory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's far from my favourite desert to begin with, but I doubt a bullion cube would do much to improve it. It is, surprisingly, quite light - which you absolutely need after having done five turns at the Yulebord already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odaks Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) It isn't a proper rice pud unless it is served with its thick skin on top (which has to be carefully cut into equal pieces to avoid un-civil war breaking out between the kids). ETA - and a grating of nutmeg, of course! Edited May 13, 2020 by Odaks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
