Marmite is an antipodean (to me) strange concoction of evil-tasting slightly sweet muck. Vegemite is the true nectar of the gods. Try it with tiger stripes: alternate strips of thick butter and vegemite on the toast. As well as with cheese, lightly spread it on toast (on-topic again) with a poached egg on top. Yummy. -- Nick |

A very soft boiled egg with a dab of 'mite-style supermarket own brand yeast extract in the yolk - nectar! Alternatively the toasted dipping sticks of toast require a generous layer of 'mite (caution: do not eat this straight before a blood pressure check-up unless you want a lecture from the medic) -- Sarah H http://www.messybeast.com http://www.shartwell.freeserve.co.uk...-site/aeth.htm Aethism - a religion for the 21st Century |

My grandmother knew what she was about, I tell you. (It was her that taught me how to boil an egg when I was 10...) 'mite and honey (must be set honey) sandwiches is another combination which actually works. I think this combination came about during an attack of the munchies. 'mite and hard boiled egg sarnies. Sadly none of this is acceptable to Thrust Pixies. I have it on good authority that they don't like 'mite-type spreads. |
