Hot toast buttered, so it melts, before applying lashings of Marmite in the winter.
Fresh bread and Marmite and lettuce sarnies in the summer !
Vegemite ?? Yuk ! Trust the Ozzies ! As good as their 4X lager, (called XXXX because they can't spell LAGER !)

I think we have done this elsewhere. I agree with Richard though.Mid A 15 wrote:I LOVE Marmite. Cheese and marmite sandwiches are magic!
Another debating issue: Lager or bitter?
Bitter (real preferably) for me unless it is really, really, HOT when an ice cold lager can be palatable.
Lager with a curry too.

Yep a bottle or 3 of Cobra is not bad with a curry. You could argue though that falls into the category of really, really, hotenglishangel wrote:I think we have done this elsewhere. I agree with Richard though.Mid A 15 wrote:I LOVE Marmite. Cheese and marmite sandwiches are magic!

99.9% of the time I'm the same but just occasionally when it's up in the 90s farenheit a cold lager is good. Decent one mind.Ruthie-Baby wrote:HaMid A 15 wrote:Yep a bottle or 3 of Cobra is not bad with a curry.
