Last year, this newspaper said that “Marmite is having a massive foodie moment”, after noticing that the divisive yeast extract was increasingly featuring as an ingredient, rather than simply being smeared on toast.
Yes, Marmite has come into its own. As a sandwich filling, it remains polarising, but as an ingredient it is much more subtle, lending a warm, umami bite to all manner of dishes – as demonstrated by the 10 magnificent recipes below.
Marmite and thyme roast potatoes We will start with my all-time favourite Marmite recipe, as discovered on a Guardian readers’ recipe swap six years ago: Marmite and thyme roast potatoes. The trick here is to melt a little Marmite into the oil before the spuds go in; not only does this help them to crisp up, but it also adds exactly the right amount of richness.
Cheesy Marmite straws
A couple of years ago, Alvin Caudwell had the genius idea of spreading marmite into puff pastry making cheese straws. These are huge, posh Twiglets and deserve to be served at every post-lockdown event.
Spaghetti with Marmite I distinctly remember watching Nigella Lawson make her spaghetti with Marmite on television and being affronted by the simplicity of it – it is little more than “boil some spaghetti, put some Marmite in it, then eat it” – but I would like to apologise on behalf of my younger self. Listen, if something as brazenly simplistic as cacio e pepe can be a thing, then spaghetti with marmite can, too.

SPAM – the marmite of the meat world. You either defend it to the death love it or you would need tying down in a chair to get even a morsel to pass your lips.
But, SPAM is not so scary, despite its strange sounding name. The term SPAM actually derives from spiced ham. Imagine how different life could have been if it were christened Spiced Ham in a Can. Everyone would have nodded their heads and said ‘of course, spiced ham in a can…how lovely.’ Instead, many spit out the word ‘SPAM’ in horror.
But, remember o ye haters of SPAM, this is a meat that SAVED everyone in the war. OK, maybe that’s a bit of a push, but really, without SPAM everyone would have starved. It was one of the most important army rations, so without it, the soldiers wouldn’t have had the strength to lift themselves out of the barracks.
Do you really want to hate on a food product that saved lives?
Funny, the things that make people crazy LOL
SPAM – the marmite of the meat world. <-—— I knew it!

Yep
At least no one else has told you to sod off to a hippie commune again.
Given I have been known to eat rice, eggs, scrapple, and kimchi for breakfast, t should be no surprise a jar of vegemite is in the pantry.
OTOH I do not like mac and cheese.
What’s the stuff they use to blow-up objects (cars etc) with a .308, from a distance?

You don’t really want to mess with thermite, they taught us to use that after the NORKS grabbed the USS Pueblo.
