I just go straight from the butter to the marmite like an animal. Does this make me a savage?

      If you’re an Aussie that thinks Marmite is bad then you’ve probably only tried the bottled turd that is made under licence by Sanitarium Foods. It’s truly awful. If you want the real deal then you need to buy Our Mate.

      Thankfully the days of buying under-the-counter genuine Marmite in Aus are over and I no longer feel like someone buying illegal substances.

      Mrs Spudger is an Australian and she eats Promite. It’s even more disgusting than Vegemite. The latter is just one of a number of inferior Aussie knock-offs such as Tim Tams.

    I use the blade of the knife for the butter, and then use the handle of the knife for the marmite.

    Foolproof!

    Butter straight to marmite is a societal norm. Contaminating the butter with marmite is a capital offence.

    I lick the spread off first. It’s probably even more savage.

    Per my brit gf:

    Yes. But most people don’t. However, if you use the same knife, you’ll get butter in the Marmite, and because marmite isn’t refrigerated that gets really gross

    I’m more of a marmalade man myself, but I use a teaspoon for the initial marmalade extraction to avoid getting butter in the jar.

      I used to hate Marmite, for years, my wife however loves the stuff.
      This was a source of minor friction until we had kids and I had to start preparing toast with the “vile paste” for them.

      Then it became a source of humor as each year (on my birthday), I would earnestly try a bite during their breakfast.

      After a few years, it didn’t seem so bad… then I actually started to (gasp) like the stuff.

      Now I love it!
