You Say Vegemite, I Say Marmite, Do You Love It or Hate It?

What is Marmite?
As a child I thought Marmite was made from meat. It tasted kinda like condensed roast beef to me. It wasn't till my vegetarian phase that I found out Marmite is made from yeast extract so it's fine for veggies to eat it.
I find it best to eat Marmite with other fresher tasting foods as it is very salty. I enjoy it spread thinly on toast or crackers with a topping of sliced tomatoes or cottage cheese.
I really recommend the latter even if you hate Marmite and cottage cheese separately. Together they are magic!
As shown on the front of the Marmite label, it contains B complex vitamins including thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), folic acid (B9) and vitamin B12.
Always check out food regulations before you eat things you haven't tried before.
Try This Recipe from the Marmite web site:
Cheesy Marmite Omelette
Ingredients
2 eggs
25g grated cheddar cheese
4g Marmite
black pepper - season to taste
You could also add 2 chopped tomatoes for variety.
Preparation
Step One: Crack the eggs into a cup and beat with a fork. Season with some black pepper.
Step Two: Grease a frying pan and heat until it’s ready to cook. Pour the eggs into the centre and spread the mixture to the edges.
Step Three: Sprinkle the cheese onto the eggs while they cook and add the Marmite over the top.
Step Four: After a couple of minutes (once the eggs have had a chance to cook) fold the omelette in half and squeeze the two sides together.
Step Five: Serve with a mixed salad.
I hope you enjoy it!

Bovril is a lot more popular here than Marmite. It's my childhood favorite food (eat with rice) but it's too salty and shouldn't be consumed by children 😊
Agreed, I always had Bovril when I went swimming. It's very warming :) Thank you for reading and commenting.
Spread it on buttered toast under a layer of grated cheese. Pop under grill till cheese is melted/cooked to your taste. Mmmmm....
That sounds nice. I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thank you :)
You do that 😊 Not a really mature cheese unless you like a strong taste
I finally tried it today. Very tasty! It wasn't too powerful either. That surprised me.
