  1. People have been discussing Vegimite and marmite on a few mailing
    lists I subscribe to, so when I saw a jar at the local clearance
    center, I bought it. Other times I've tried it, it' has been nasty,
    but worked ok as a soup base so didn't go to waste.

    This time, people had been taking about eating it spread thinly on hot
    buttered toast, so I tried it.

    It's a little weird, but by the time I got through the second slice, I
    liked it.

    Are there any other uses for it, besides as a toast topping?

    A teaspoon full in a cup of hot water, well stirred, for a quick Beef
    Bouillon type soup drink

    Goes well with thin slices of cheddar cheese on the toast as well.

    Melted cheddar, or cold/room temp? Sounds good either way.

    I have only ever had the cheese cold (and the toast hot). But melting it
    maybe good.

    Be brave! <smile> You have already taken the first big step and are
    actually eating it!

    Now that you've acquired the taste, try some Promite. It's even better!!

    I like it as a light spread inside a fried egg sandwich. A traditional
    use is Marmite Soldiers: spread Marmite on buttered toast, cut into 4 or
    5 long strips, dip into a soft-boiled egg. It should work with poached
    or over-easy egg instead. Try Marmite on rye bread or rye crackers
    (Ryvita). Add hot water to the empty jar to remove the last tasty bits
    to make a cup of bouillon. Use it to flavor and/or color soups and stews.

    i like to say it's in homage to archy, don marquis' cockroach.

    ....but the fact of the matter is that after many years in data
    processing, i had seen quite enough of stuff like:

    (but that's not true either. i'm just a lazy son of a [censored].)
