Justintime, WTF is marmite?

[Jeslek]

Enlighten me please.

 

[Luis G]

This has been asked in the past.....

I think is something like jam.....well maybe not.

 

[ris]

it's one of the finest yeast extracts in the world, ever!

 

[karlwb]

It's a sort of veggi / yeast extract spread - you put it on toast or bread.

I prefer Bovril - that's beef extract, you add it to boiling water and make a beefy drink!!



it's a dark drink - just like

 

[Leslie]

It's just wrong, is what it is, and drinking Bovril???

 

[MitchSchaft]

No wonder we exited your country

 

[Jeslek]

Yuck. Yeast extract? Yeast is little bugs commonly known as bacteria. So you um, eat what exactly from them? Their excrements?

Beef extract? What is going on with the british?

I'm sorry, I prefer to stick to pancakes with maple syrup and blueberries.

 

[ris]

it's not sole preserve of the brits, the australians love it too, although theirs is called vegemite.

 

[Jeslek]

vegemite? sounds like a combination of vegetables and mites. hehe

 

[Justintime]

[Luis G]

So is beer, bread, and yogurt.

I prefer OXO myself.

 

[Jeslek]

Not in concentrated form though.

Beer - 0.01% bug poo

Marmite - 99.9% bug poo

 

[Professur]

So if I mix 0.01% dog poo into some mashed potatos you'll chow down??

I don't think so, Tim.

 

[alex]

Marmite sounds like a rock formation.

 

[Berserker]

I've heard that since I was a kid but I'm hearing that again. I've got used to Bovril but not Marmite,
maybe Justintime just fed up with marmite and choose to go for Bovril

Marmite is just the condensed residue of the beer brewing process reduced to a peanut butter form with an uncanny likeness to a less salty beef bullion cube.

Bovril is just half marmite and half beef stock. I make hot mugs of the stuff all of the time.

They are both great soup stock starters.
