Literally everything about this question makes you a savage, yes.
I don't. I can use a single knife and have never, I repeat, never contaminated a single jar of Marmite. #Marmite
You're delusional, if there's no washing/wiping happen between rounds of spreading. Harsh words, but fair, I think.
I lick the spread off first. It's probably even more savage.
This is the way, to a psychiatric ward, and I'm here for it!
Wipe excess butter on the other slice of bread, then into the marmite!
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).
Where can I get one? I never knew I needed this so much...
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.
Combine them into a single mega pot of buttery marmite, save valuable time and cutlery.
@serfraser seriously, was has no one invented this yet?
Close enough.
Can confirm this is delicious
Yeah, I've made something similar at home as a last resort after running out of butter, but while I like my pb crunchy, I'm not so much a fan of crunchy marmite.
Butter straight to marmite is a societal norm. Contaminating the butter with marmite is a capital offence.
I suggested to my wife that she should use a different house for marmite.
I use the blade of the knife for the butter, and then use the handle of the knife for the marmite.
Foolproof!
I believe it is the fact that you like Marmite that makes you a savage. Not the knife.
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 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.
I'm British and only tried Vegemite semi-recently but it really is much better than Marmite.
I've had both, tastes pretty much the same to me but seems to spread easier
Yes, i keep a separate knife by the door in case someone tries to bring that shite home.
@Fassmacher Depends on how dirty your knife is. I make sure to whipe all the butter off on the toast before drlving into the Marmite.
I am in disbelief of the sheer savagery on display from OP.
I mean honestly, Marmite?
I’m more of a marmalade man myself, but I use a teaspoon for the initial marmalade extraction to avoid getting butter in the jar.
I keep a separate knife stabbed into the ground in the roundabout down the road.
I use a spoon because I'm special.
I prefer Bovril.
Per my brit gf:
Yes. But most people don't. However, if you use the same knife, you'll get butter in the Marmite, and because marmite isn't refrigerated that gets really gross
You'd be locked in an asylum for that type of behavior. I always wash the knife after buttering before adding marmite.
In my humble opinion, the problem would be solved with the use of Vegemite, the superior mite.
I want to downvote your position, because you're wrong, but I wont in favour of fostering *mite relations.
Bovril though can GTFO.
*mite relations are important.
Id gladly eat Marmite toast with you in a celebration of *mite solidarity.
Then ill go back to vegemite though
superior mite
Not as good as dynamite
Fellow aussie and fan of vegemite I see.
Agreed. Vegemite or GTFO
I've thought that too my whole life but I recently came across this Aussiemite stuff. It has a very similar taste to Vegemite but spreads a bit easier I think. I'm actually thinking I now prefer it to my beloved Vegemite. https://aussiemite.net/
Definitely same knife for both pots.
