Perfect symbiotic relationship: the Brits swill massive amounts of beer. Brewing beer provides massive amounts of yeast. Yeast is concentrated and added to a secret ingredient: equally massive amounts of salt. Marmite has enough salt to induce raging thirst. Which requires more beer... Devilishly clever... Heh.

If you're making scrambled eggs on toast, spread some Marmite on the toast before the eggs go on. Also stir a generous teaspoonful into stews and casseroles.

Yep, that’s my go to for scrambled eggs too👍, and for omelette on toast. No salt in the eggs, just the Marmite on the toast. I live in Asia and, if I run out of the stock I bring back from trips to the U.K, I have to pay about £10 here in specialist supermarkets for a medium jar of the stuff. Totally worth it though as it’s an essential part of breakfast.🤗

Was born in the UK and came to Canada at age 7. Can't remember a time when I didn't eat it and I am now in my 70s. It is sometimes hard to find in Canada and it is a tad expensive, but a jar lasts a long time. I don't care for jam, but enjoy Marmite on buttered toast for breakfast. Also I love a baguette, spread with butter, a smear of Marmite and some grated cheese. Can't imagine life without Marmite.

During the 70's people were putting a dry flaked Brewer's Yeast stuff in their food. Marmite tastes like that, but with a bit of something else in it. So if you've ever tasted Brewer's Yeast, you've tasted Marmite basically. I never had Marmite until a few months ago when I ordered it shipped from the UK. I love the stuff.
