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

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

      This is the way, to a psychiatric ward, and I’m here for it!

    I use this knife which came with the toast rack and a jar of marmite. We don’t use the toast rack (two of us usually and 4 slice toaster), so we got rid of it eventually. The blade came out of the handle and the Marmite sign has come off, but I’ve since glued the blade back in (just need to wash off the residue but been lazy).

        I got my set years back reasonably priced in a supermarket. Now you have to get it on eBay. I think I prefer it to the current scalpel they sell. The proper knife is good day in day out and the silicone one is great for cleanup I’m sure, but I have generic small silicone utensils for that.

    Combine them into a single mega pot of buttery marmite, save valuable time and cutlery.

    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 believe it is the fact that you like Marmite that makes you a savage. Not the knife.

      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!

    @Fassmacher Depends on how dirty your knife is. I make sure to whipe all the butter off on the toast before drlving into the Marmite.

    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 keep a separate knife stabbed into the ground in the roundabout down the road.
