Marmite terrorism

[mark st1]

Sorry but crumpets are for butter and butter only no cheese no marmite no jam or peanut butter nothing ! I love all the afore mentioned things but no not with crumpets.

Mr Sainsbury's Emporium of Toothy Comestibles used to sell peanut butter with Marmite stripes.

Peanut butter is the toe jam of satan . I have tried multiple types , makes and they are all without question 'kin orrible. And I like andouille sausage !

I'm a traditionalist, I love Marmite but only on toast, bread, etc. I'm not a big fan of Marmite flavoured things though. My sister -bless her -got me some Marmite flavoured nuts when I was across one year and I had to pretend I liked them. I'm also not a fan of Marmite on cheese either, I just don't care for it (I just think fruity stuff goes with cheese rather than a savoury spread).

Marmite on a sesame seed bread or bagels with a bit of spread and a good cup of ta goes down a treat for me.

FWIW I also have no love of peanut butter (a big staple over here). While I love peanuts in shells, the claggy mouthfeel of peanut butter puts me off. If I have some peanut butter even more than once a year, that's unusual for me -and like I said, I love peanuts!

Toast a crumpet add Marmite and cheese .Pop under grill till cheese melts.
Yummy or depending on your taste buds bl@@@@dy orrible

This may sound disgusting but I recommend you also butter the crumpet before adding the marmite and cheese and popping back under the grill. Very messy but OMG!!!!!

Do you feel a rush of euphoria tempered with a sense of guilt and self-loathing? Or is that just me?

Only a little bit guilty for finishing the whole packet. And that was tempered by remembering that the packet came from a shelf in Sainsbury's right next to some beef jerky. Little packets costing £1.55. Which when I squeezed them, only seemed to have a few pieces in. And then I saw the unit price on the shelf label - £5/100g. which means £50 per kilo!!!!

If marmite is like that stuff on twiglets

Oh dear, Waitrose do the nuts. And the rice cakes. And I have to cycle past there on my way home...

However, if I do not show any restraint, I will revert to being the size of a small house again.

But on the other hand, Wilkinsons now stock peanut butter M&Ms...

Morrisons now have a shelf for imported American sweets. So you can get peanut butter M&Ms, peanut butter Twix, peanut butter Snickers... you can get peanut butter loads of stuff.

Tescos has American stuff in as well, but while it's easily get-able, the price tag is a pretty good deterrent.

True. And unless it's something you're familiar with, there's a reasonable chance of it being absolutely disgusting. Ever had a Hershey bar? Horrid things.

So are 'Baby Ruth' and 'Payday' bars.

I know, but I happened to have a crumpet left. There was something about the warm gooey sogginess that you wouldn't quite get from a pizza.

Hmmmm I might try that with a bit of Brie Cheese melted in the oven , with a few chopped chives,a few anchovies, fresh ground black pepper, a few drops of tabasco sauce ... ( I love Pizza, and these could be quick mini pizzas for a snack )
