The other morning on my way to work I was in the sandwhich shop waiting for my coffe when a very pale looking girl staggers in waving some toast, with a big bite out of it, at the staff and shouted "I said said marmalade not marmite!" then started retching loudly in the shop.

Put the cheese on the bread, thinly spread marmite on top of the cheese... then pour Heinz beanz on top...phwoarrrrrr...

Survived on beans on cheese on toast for 11 months when I was at college - if you use wholemeal bread it contains all the necessary nutrients a body needs...
except beer and you buy that seperately...

When you come over to London, find a Supermarket and buy yourself a jar.
I suggest having a drink of ice cold lemonade or similar on standby for when you try it. (I speak as someone who ticked 'Hate it' in the poll)

In America it is a staple of a childs diet. I agree that it should be cruncy peanutbutter. Although that is much harder to spread. You need a big glass of milk with it.

Crunchy peanut butter, pickled chillis and sweet chilli sauce in two thick slices of bread, it's almost a satay sandwich. Yum!

Your right there, I found that too. I think its cos they have 'watered' it down to make it thinner so it will 'squeeze' out of the pot. Nothing wrong with a good o'll glass jar and a need to lick the spreading implement in my book :thumbs:

I'm a random third option! Mainly because I don't love it or hate it - I'm just happy enough to eat it if it's there. I like it thinly smeared on hot buttered toast or in a cheese sarnie (decent cheddar works best IMO). There's always a jar in the cupboard, beside the (bigger) jar of Bovril but it's not something that goes on the shopping list until the old jar is empty.
