Wonders of Marmite

Marmite soup

. This is what I was told by a friend today. I brought back a jar of Marmite from London, and she told me to take a teaspoonful and add it to a mug of hot water, stir and voila! Marmite soup!

Just had a sip. Not bad.

What else can you do with this stuff besides spreading it onto a slice of bread?

I think quorn wins that competition. It's a fungus grown in huge vats and then shaped into novelty turkeys and what not for vegetarians.

But it's great! It's rich with Vitamin B!

*edit: I'm talking about Marmite, btw

Myself, I had coffee and toast with Vegemite and butter this morning. I think Vegemite is to Aussies what Marmite is to the Brits.

But Marmite soup probably won't work for me. For hot broth I prefer using concentrated paste of roasted beef stock and adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil and fresh sliced green onions (scallions). It's perfect for a late night sipping fest.

saucyminx · 01-26-2006, 04:42 PM

That sounds nice. I'll try that someday. What's green onions look like? *googles*

Oh! We Malays call that "daun bawang".

I can never remember the English version of the Malay word for certain type of vegetables and vice versa.

Like Bovril?

I have a different brand and it's in a small jar, found it at Winco for cheap.

None of those uniformed men do it for me.

I'll take the nice pussy, though.

Mmm... marmoset soup... my favorite.

Six terrified parents claimed that their two- and three-year-olds had been "terrified" by the latest Marmite commercials, though we aren't sure if it's the children terrified of the commercial or the parents terrified their children might eat Marmite.

This is what I do with this stuff ->

I'd rather eat badger juice on toast.

saucyminx · 01-27-2006, 02:16 AM

Is it tasty?
