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

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

    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.

    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 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!

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

    I have Vegemite which is much better not your British knock off that was invented 21 years earlier.

      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.
