Marmite

Marmite is that food you love or you hate. I don't think I could live without marmite, so why not share a brief history of Marmite and some tasty ways to eat it.

Marmite was first created in 1902 by the Marmite Foood company and ever since has been filling the tummies of people world wide. Now you can not just buy Marmite but also Marmite flavoured chips and many other Marmite flavoured foods. As well as food, Marmite Ltd. also sell books (recipe books, diaries and Marmite fact books). They also sell clothing (bike riding gear, t-shirts, running gear and babies and kids clothes).  Homewares from water bottles to toasters are also sold.

Personally I LOVE Marmite and I think these are the best ways to eat Marmite:

  • Toast a piece of bread and then quickly spread with Marmite, then cover in cheese. This is also good in sandwich form.
  • Marmite on mini toasts or saladas with cheese.
Really Marmite tastes good with everything, except prawns... if anyone wants to prove me wrong, sure.

You can also replace Marmite with vegemite though I would not suggest it.

outside the square so far...

Thinking outside the square is a wonderful thing, I think that it is a way to express that you are not like everybody else and that there is something different about you or a way of thinking that could lead to an alternative answer.

I hope to share with you many of my hobbies and pastimes but also be more serious. I hope this blog will be 'an everything blog' as one of my close friends said. I would like to share with you my tastes in music - I really and I mean REALLY like Muse - I would also like to share cooking recipes because I love cooking, particularly sweet foods.

Basically what you can expect from my blog is everything, from cooking to current affairs and from music to marmite!

Word of the day: Marmoset;  any of various small, squirrel-like South and Central American monkeys, genera Callithrix and Leontocebus, and allied genera, with soft fur and a long, slightly furry, non-prehensile tail.
