Marmite terrorism

[robjh]

I love Marmite. Used it as a contraceptive for 18 months when I was married to my hideous ex

It's sometimes recommended as a midge deterrent in Scotland, on the basis that eating a lot of the unspeakable paste causes the eater to ooze foul vapours from their pores that will repel the wee horrors. Were you working on the same principle?

My one year old loves the Marmite toddler rice cakes. She's her father's daughter all right.

Good on her

I'm not allowed to buy Marmite rice cakes in quantities greater than one single packet, as I'm liable to scoff the lot in a single sitting. They're so damn more-ish...

It is well documented that people either love Marmite or they hate it, I am in the former camp'
I was in England over Christmas and I bought a jar (I can't get it here) when it came time to leave I realised after locking my suitcase and piling it into the car that my Marmite was in a kitchen cupboard I rushed back and put it in my carry on. At the airport (Heathrow) I was pulled aside to explain something in my bag - the Marmite that was confiscated. I am aware of the rules but I had forgotten about the Marmite but I was just wondering how much harm I could do? If I forced it on fellow plane passengers who hate it would I qualify as a terrorist?

You don't have a shop over there?

It's Marmite cashews I love. They are dirty. I mean properly pornographically filthy. They're so good they're bad.

Uh oh... I shall have to go and look for those next time I go for groceries...

I sometimes sit in the car alone outside the supermarket and eat a whole packet by myself. It's so wrong but it feels so right.

I'm one of those rare beasts that can take it or leave it. Neither loving or hating it. Sometimes I have it on toast in the morning. Sometimes I think, nah, yuk.

When I saw Richard Herring last year, his show included a routine about how you either love Marmite or hate it or are ambivalent to it.

Been there as well. Not with marmite cashews though.

It's made from 100% real bed mites by Ma.

Wonderful stuff, especially when mixed with peanut butter.
I like getting our French friends to try it then watching them gagging in horror

Another take it or leave it person here. Sometimes have a craving for the stuff, at other time it can sit in the cupboard for a couple of weeks being ignored.
Great on toast, or on a celery sandwich.

The French eat pig colon, which smells of shoot.

Just remembered on the One Show the other night they were eating marmalade on toast but with a marmite base, looked interesting!.
