So this one's been resuscitated too.

Well, just remember:

Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad?"
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

EEK! All right then.

Does Marmite need to be refrigerated after it's been opened?

Here's an old story, but it was new to me when I heard it last week.

De Bono's Marmite peace formula

I can't stand the stuff on its own, but can find a use for it as a quick seasoning/stock substitute.

I could see it's potential as camouflage paint - if it wasn't for the potential to leave a nasty taste in yer mouth.

not if you have food in the fridge.

Thanks.

I just tried it for the first time. I'm thinking about putting it in soup stock.

Since my earlier post here I've changed my breakfast drink from Teaco beef tea to Promite which seems to work better - dissolves easier and it's slightly cheaper. The flavour is still about the same.
Now my grandaughter is hooked on 'Marmite' sandwiches for lunch - using my homemade Marmite, of course.

When I was in NZ earlier this year I found that what is called Marmite, isn't. The stuff to go for is called My Mate, and that's the proper job. Nothing else comes close.

I saw something on TV recently that said that the use of brewery yeast waste for this was started by an employee of the Bass brewery at Burton Upon Trent in the late 19th century, who, unfortunately, neglected to patent it!
It was an episode of "Cash in the Attic" and one of his descendents was selling some Bass limited edition commemoratives.

Take a couple of slices of solid, crunchy well done toast, add a thin layer of Marmite, then put on a good layer of mashed avocado. Delicious, the combination of tangy marmite, soft, cool and creamy avocado and crunchy toast is magnificent!

good one Joe P.

here's another suggestion ... break a pita bread in 2 ... toast those slices ... spread on a thin layer of Marmite, sprinkle some Romano cheese, add some hot banana pepper pieces and whew .... it's wonderful.

Here's an NPR paean to Marmite, including recipes for Baked Eggs With Marmite Mushrooms, Marmite Bloody Mary, Marmite Cheddar Crackers and U.K.-Chazuke.

NPR just reported that Marmite is in short supply due to the earthquake. Ohno! Without Marmite, humanity is in great peril!

Well, Robyn. Before I mad a snide remark, I decided that I should taste the bloody stuff before going off half-cocked. The proof will be, as they say, "in the pudding." I shall report back. This could change my life! (I guess if I don't like it, I could always use it as caulk, eh?)

Just remember that the Australasian Marmite isn't like the original - they've added sugar to the recipe. Wimps!!

Well, I got some online. My first taste of it was less than wonderful. Perhaps it is an acquired taste. I will give it a few more taste attempts before I make a final decision. But for right now, it looks like it will not occupy a permanent place in my food cabinet.

I quite like it but it isn't something that I make a point of buying mainly as I am the only one who quite likes it. Marmite is great added to stews or gravies but it isn't something that is necessary, I can live without it.
