Title: Marmite: a guide for ignorant Yanks.
Post by: rosieposy87 on October 14, 2004, 08:55:53 am
Well, we thought it was about time we set things straight- so here's a little guide to our favourite condiment.

Kev & Rosie: Hmmm. We're positively famished! Whatever shall we have to eat on this fine Autumn (not fall) evening?


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosiebagel.jpg)
Rosie: Let's see... I've got AMERICAN bagels? AMERICAN waffles? or a terrific slice of traditional ENGLISH bread!?


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosiekiss.jpg)
Rosie: No contest! Bread it is.


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/kevchoice.jpg)
Kev: Splendid choice! Now what on earth shall we have on it? I have Marmite or Peanut Butter.


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/keveat.jpg)
Kev: The yanks are always harping on about how great this stuff is, perhaps we should give it a try?




(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosieno.jpg)
Rosie: Stop! Oh dear God! Nooooo!


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/kevchunder.jpg)
Kev: Too late! *heave* Ugh, RANK! *heave* Is this stuff a joke?! If it is, then it's about as funny as an episode of Will & Grace *chunder*


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/kevlovesmarmite.jpg)
Kev: So it's settled. Our old chum Marmite it is!
Rosie: Spiffing! Now let's teach those tasteless yanks how to make a PROPER tasty snack, shall we?


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosietoaster.jpg)
Rosie: First, place the bread into a PROPER toaster. Warning: do not use anything resembling this abomination against all toaster kind.
(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/andrewtoaster.jpg)


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/kevbutton.jpg)
Kev: Next, press down the button on your proper toaster. If you do not have a button, then you probably have a crap toaster. Silly n00b.


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosiekevbutter.jpg)
Rosie: Next take some ENGLISH butter.
Kev: Do make sure that it says it's "English" on the wrapper. American butter no doubt contains inordinately large amounts of fat.


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosiebutter.jpg)
Rosie: Now spread the English butter all over the toast. If any of you are having trouble with this step, then you will probably find it much easier to use our imperialism analogy. Simply imagine that the butter is the set of American values and/or the American way of life and that the toast is the rest of the world.
Kev: If the concept of "rest of the world" confuses you, then try this (http://go.hrw.com/atlas/norm_htm/world.htm)


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/kevspread.jpg)
Kev: Spread the marmite on top, nice and thick. Do this in much the same way as above. Remember to use the imperialism analogy if you get stuck.


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosiekevknife.jpg)
Rosie: Don't forget to lick your knife!


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosiekevstuff.jpg)
Rosie: The next step should be a doddle. Simply stuff your face. We won't go into excess detail here because we presume that, as an American, you're highly proficient at stuffing your face already.


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/kevrosiesiptea.jpg)
Kev: Finally wash it all down with a sip of tea! Cheers!

Rosie: But whatever shall we do with this ghastly peanut butter? It's not fit for human consumption!
Kev: Why not let Pocket have it?


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosiepocket.jpg)
Rosie: She looks frankly DISGUSTED at the sight of it!
Kev: Even our animals won't touch that foreign filth. And I don't blame them!


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/kevbin.jpg)
Kev: There's only one place for peanut butter, the dustbin (do make sure that it goes into a dustbin and not a trash or garbage can)


(http://www.kev.nu/images/marmite/rosiekevcats.jpg)
Rosie: Look! Pocket loves marmite so much that she sleeps with it.
Kev: Even my cat just can't get enough of it.

;-)

I don't know about anywhere else but here Jif is a cleaning product for white ware, that about says it all.

And here our marmite is not runny like that stuff, it's actually thicker. Marmite rocks!

I had a barbie one, it said Barbie on the side of it. It was the Barbie Corvette. :P

The battery died after a while and I stopped riding it.

But a couple of years later at my grandmothers house, my cousins and I got all of our old Power Wheels and fixed them, painted them (haha), and fixed the batteries and we would race them since she had a really big backyard, we were very creative hispanic AMERICAN kids.

Many people call a bathroom a bathroom even if there is no bath, and a restroom a restroom even if you are not going to be there long enough to rest.  Hence a dustbin sound much better than a trash can; similiar to how you might not call a certain room a toilet room --unless you call it that(I doubt it though.)

yes it can, yes it can! it's horrible! seriously, you're not missing anything  :razz:

and for the record, the non proper toaster you speak of, is not a toaster. it's a toaster oven. meaning it does more than just toasts things, which is good for either a)people who like to bake alot at once;  b)people with really small kitchens that can't get a regular sized stove, or c)people who like to toast a lot at once....those things can get huge, like my moms, and toast up to six slices of bread at once. :-P

I like Marmite, tho I think it would be a little better if it weren't so salty.  On a side note, I found a Brewer's Yeast dietary supplement in the cabinet, and I decided to eat a couple.  (Yes, I mean actually chew them up!)  And they tasted just like Marmite, except not so salty and not too strong.

When I was a little I had a toy oscar meyer weiner mobile car thing.  Because I played with cars instead of Barbies, because my parents banned barbies.

has anyone actually seen the weiner mobile in real life?  I bet it would be funny to see.

I myself fid it to be funnier than the 'other' thread, if for nothing else than for Rosie's shocked expression and her cat's apathetic state toward the peanut butter, which I did have to admit looked rather gross.

And you know, most people don't have those raggedy toaster ovens. They're kind of fire hazards... LONG LIVE THE TOASTER W/ BUTTONS!!

Andrew's cheap-ass toaster oven is what kills me. That was the only funny thing in that thread.

erm, my cousin told me eggs with mustard were good....GROSS! I tried it actually, I'll stick with ketchup on my eggs thank you very much.

As for mayo on PB...maybe, I like pb with bologna so it might not be so bad if you don't glob it on there.

I see people send care packages all the time here.  I remember seeing large boxes of japanese food from foriegn exchange students' parents.  It is allowed.  Now if he tries to send me large metal barge containers full of half sides of beef, they might question that.

NB ... was the PB the crunchy kind?!?!? ;-)

No, the stuff I tried was smooth.

-Kev


I know .. I so am :-)
I think it's an aquired taste ... you can't just jump into such a ... distinct (for lack of a "better" word fear of attack) taste ;-)

You gotta try the crunchy stuff ... it's just mashed peanuts!!! Nothing wrong with peanuts! :-)

Marmite is like the aussie vegemite right?

Do you have tim tams in the UK? Cuz they are just the scrumdidilyumptiounessed chocolate ever!!!!

Actually *sigh* rocky road picnic was ... *sigh*.

Anyone wanting Marmite, Marmite,  or Vegemite in the US can find it on the Internet very easily.  All three are available at http://www.everythingaustralian.com.

The Sanitarium Marmite, made in New Zealand is "less rancid" according to some than the British version.  A friend of mine always refers to Vegemite as "$#!+"
