Anyone from the UK?

I seem to be in the minority in thinking that crumpets are fine with just butter, so I suppose you can stay. At least you don't put marmite on them!

(Welcome, by the way. Don't mind me, I was just being grumpy for comic effect.)

I mean, a good crumpet is fine with just good salted butter - just even better with something extra! And a flabby crap crumpet needs it.

I'm not a marmite fan (I know, revoke my British passport...) - I had a traumatic experience age about four when I bit into a marmite sandwich at a party, having only ever known Bovril.

Very glad this morning that last week I bought a long-handled ice scraper, so I could actually reach the middle third of the windscreen!

I shudder at the very thought of flabby crumpets!

Not liking marmite seems like common sense, to me. I suppose it might be a genetic thing, like... broccoli, is it? Doesn't sound right. No, it's a herb I'm thinking of. Nope, it's gone. Whatever it is, to some people it tastes like soap, apparently. I wonder if the like it or loathe it with marmite is like that.

You may have bought the last long-handled scraper in the shop! I think the cold snap caught a lot of people out. My feet have been cold since what seems like forever, despite thick socks and central heating

I actually agree with you lol never put anything but butter on my crumpets

Good morning.

Don't have crumpets often because of short sell-by dates, but when I do, I tend to stick to lashings of butter.

Am I the only one who likes cheesy rolls with butter and marmite?

 

[Peter_Out]

Lashings, you say? Now there's an idea.

Anyway, sorry, what were you saying?

You know you can freeze crumpets and whack them in the toaster straight from the freezer? It's what I do as I can't eat 6 in one go!

Coriander (cilantro, to the seppos) is the soapy one to unfortunate people. I don't mind Marmite - a bit with cheese on toast or in a veggie stew helps - as long as I know what it is!

We had some German students visit college once. At breakfast, one scooped a couple tablespoons of Marmite from a huge bucket onto a plate and I asked if they knew what it was. Got "of course, duh!" in German. Followed by it all being spread on one slice of toast, a huge bite, and me learning the German for "WTF!! Are you trying to fucking kill me??"

I'm in a caff with my thermal tights and vest under my clothes, all lovely and warm, but forgot my boots are new and I haven't put fleecy insoles in yet. So my feet are freezing and another coffee hasn't helped.

What did the German think it was then?

And where can you buy buckets of Marmite? Asking for a friend

Nutella, or similar UK chocolate spread...

Any catering supplier. Bidfood or Brakes will do.

Cool next time I'm buying Marmite I'm buying it in bulk!

TBH Nutella was the obvious alternative, my brains not working this morning!

That's it, coriander! Sorry, I lose my words sometimes.

Tablespoons? Oh good lord I wonder what the lethal dose of marmite is.. I can imagine the police interrogation now. It wouldn't last very long would it? "So, Mx Queen, you say the deceased took two tablespoons of marmite? Okay, suicide then. You're free to go."

How did he not smell it? That's the first thing that hits me - the smell.

I empathise. I'm not risking going outside today (he says, knowing full well that he will, because he needs to go shopping).
