Hi, my name is Laura, I am 22 years old, and for as long as I can remember, I have been a marmite addict. 
I have experimented with lots of substances - I'm also a bit of a nutella-head and partial to the odd jam splurge, but I think I can control it...(ok ok, sometimes I get a bit out of control at parties or the like and generally someone ends up with a nutella-face
... but its all harmless fun really.)But one habit I take very seriously is Marmite consumption. I have tried sometimes mixing various substances on toast: - cheese and marmite
, marmite and peanut-butter, marmite and jam... but today I was introduced to the idea of marmite and mustard together on toast 
It was just too much. I am disturbed.
But, for you, Elora dana, a real inspiration in the field of toastal experimentation, much respect! 
peace.

Not so, you can't buy the stuff in most places outside the UK! I've not found anywhere else in Europe that sells it and I know someone in australia who has to get it sent over.

Marmite and lettuce sandwiches are what summer is all about..... although now I can't eat bread...... would it be wrong just to dip the lettuce into the marmite and eat it?

Of course not!
use 2 large lettuce leaves and spread marmite on them, and hey presto, marmite and lettuce sarnies!

Marmite and cheese and... wait for it.... tomato! on toast!
Marmite and cucumber sandwiches also very good for summer, although they do have a tendency to go a bit soggy if you carry them round for a while...
Also, marmite and banana sandwiches, a friend of mine used to eat those all the time... i have yet to work up the courage to try that though

I was a die-hard anti-yeaster. However, I have been converted to the dark side.
However, I want to make a few things clear:
1) Vegemite and marmite are indistinguishable and identical. Take one and put it in the other's jar and I defy any die-hard afficionado to tell the difference.
1a) the previous statement is highly controversial and will cause every Brit and Ozzie to hate me and curse me and my children and my children's children and their children after them.
2) Nutella still kicks any yeast spread's butt from here to next Thursday.
3) I know there are multiple threads on this subject, but we haven't had a good Marmite/Vegemite/Nutella war in a while and, frankly, I miss them.
4) *dips finger in a jar of marmite and then proceeds to SPREAD IT ALL OVER MOLLY'S FACE!

To the untrained they're the same. I've tasted both but only for a moment because I made a point of spitting it out immediately. Maybe you people who like it can pick them apart.

I know that this may be a big call... but... I am the hop expert on all things to do with marmity goodness and ya'll know it... *wiggles bum*
I am bi -spreadable as I have said in the past million or so marmite threads...I love nutella, vegemite is ok.. but its MARMITE all the way...
The thing is is that there are two different strains of marmite.
The first being the british strain, which tastes considerabley like aussie vegemite, but a bit stronger. The second is the TRUE marmite king which is Kiwi marmite made by sanatarium... this is a slightly sweeter version of the British marmite, and by far the superior.
Marmite on hot toast with REAL butter and a glass of cold milk... you just cant go past it. challange me if you dare!!

if indeed vegemite is the same thing as marmite, i'll agree it is alright, best enjoyed very lightly spread on toast with melting butter. I have also been known to put it in a stew that my mum used to make which I never liked, lol. But as for you crazy peanut butter lettuce etc people.... no. thats not right

You people have no taste. The only way to go is Bovril.
Bovril on toast covered in cheese. Loverly.
Marmite is foul - i suppose i'm on the "hate" it side of the fence.
