You're a national treasure Reg.
Morning Undies.
Came across an interesting factoid yesterday ...... 70% of Australians prefer Vegemite to Marmite. In NZ it is the exact reverse: 70% prefer Marmite. And then I came across this on (of all places!) the Global Oneness website when I was looking up stuff on how to meditate ..........
Marmite - Serving suggestions
Marmite is traditionally eaten as a savoury spread on bread, and commonly toast. Due to its concentrated taste it should be spread thinly. Its powerful taste limits its applications otherwise; nonetheless, in 2003, the Absolute Press published Paul Hartley's "The Marmite Cookbook", containing recipes and suggestions on how to blend Marmite with other foodstuffs. [10]
Marmite also works well with cheese (such as in a cheese sandwich) and has been used as an additional flavouring in Mini Cheddars, a savoury cheese-flavoured biscuit snack. Marmite has also been used by Walkers Crisps for a 'special edition' flavour.
In New Zealand, it is sometimes spread thinly on bread with packet potato chips added to make a "Marmite And Chip Sandwich", or spread thickly on bread prior to toasting, cooked, then eaten slathered with butter.
In Sri Lanka it is dissolved in boiling water and some lime juice and a fried, sliced onion are added - this is an excellent 'pick-me-up' drink for recovering from a hangover.
