Anyone know where I can get it in the states, specifically the Midwest? You can order it from Amazon. I order Marmite because I eat it by the jar and it's hard to find around Houston. I'm considered gross about for salty I eat my food. I eat 12 grain toast with marmite and American cheese on it for breakfast every day. I go through bottles of soy sauce weekly. I snack on lemons dipped in salt. I have basically no ability to taste food flavors well, so I eat super salty stuff to make up for the lack of other flavors. I get bitched at about how awful it is for me a lot. That salted licorice sounds heavenly, incidentally. Also, my Mom makes pear salad for Sunday dinner every week. Diced canned pears, shredded cheddar, shredded iceberg, all layered with a big dollop of Miracle Whip. It looks exactly as gross as you'd think, and it's oddly gritty. I love that horrible "salad" though.

Palpatine MD posted:I'm not sure what you mean, isn't peanut butter a sandwich spread staple around the world? Over here the stereotype is that the Dutch like to put peanut butter in everything. But now that I think about it, I'm having trouble coming up with examples other than dishes that are Indonesian in origin. I think I'm just bitter because I recently found out that thick/traditional fries are known as 'Amsterdam Fries' in Brazil.

Chantilly Say posted:Entirely out of curiosity now that we've brought up Australia and peanut butter, is peanut butter and Vegemite a thing at all? Like in a sandwich. Not for me or anyone I know, but it probably is to someone. The two flavours wouldn't mix well. We also don't normally do peanut butter and jam, but due to the influence of american television it's catching on.

Considering Vegemite tastes vaguely like soy sauce, I want to say there's the possibility it would work for the same reasons satay sauce does, but I'm not going to test that theory myself.

The sweet creaminess of the peanut butter perfectly complemented the saltiness of the Vegemite according to the sophisticated tastebuds of 14-year-old me. (remember, the peanut butter must be thick and the Vegemite must be molecule-thin!) (also remember that 14-year-olds have lovely taste)

I can see that working. I actually have this great sharp, crumbly cheddar and a really nice locally made strawberry jam at the moment, and damned if they don't go nicely. Light on the jam, but the pairing works surprisingly well.

^ ^ ^ Cheddar goes with sweet stuff surprisingly well. It some parts of New England, it's tradition to have a slice of sharp cheddar with/on your slice if apple pie. ^ ^ ^ I've seen restaurants that serve hamburgers/cheeseburgers with peanut butter on them, so peanut butter and cheese also isn't too weird a concept to lots of people.

I would have sweet chutney with a cheddar cheese any day but it was something about the sweetness of jam that was off-putting. Slice of cheese on apple pie? Now that's too far. If we don't have rules, anarchy reigns.

Shadownerd posted:Gluten Free Bread. From way the hell back. There are a number of exclusively gluten-free companies, but their products tend to be hit and miss. I go with Udi's for white bread and muffins (their double chocolate muffins are objectively delicious even outside of the gluten-free context), and Glutino is a good substitute. One of the things I had been seriously missing with this whole gluten-free thing was wafer cookies, and Glutino makes a chocolate-covered chocolate one that is a good stand-in for Kit Kats. Except then I can eat a box of them when I really shouldn't. Annie's is actually on the low end of organic/gluten-free, in my approximation. This is one of those things you really do end up having to shop around for and find which companies make the best things, which can be a pain because everything is expensive. And then your idiot housemates eat all your muffins because they don't know that those are the only muffins you can have. I actually don't have anything else to contribute, because I find a lot of things disgusting that normal people find palatable (nougat, for example, and rye), and the reverse is also true (rapini is a gift from the gods, the bitter, bitter gods). So. Uh. Continue?

Yesterday my coworker asked if I liked spicy things and handed me an oily-looking saltine cracker with seasoning on it. Apparently they're called "Spicy Crackers" and they're saltines marinated with canola oil, ranch dressing mix and red pepper flakes. For as redneck as the recipe is, they were actually pretty good.

Cheese with apples is fairly normal in Britain, like in a ploughman's lunch. Not heard of it being eaten with apple pie though. My dad does like a chunk of cheddar on the side of fruit cake, guess that's nearly the same!

I can't eat peanut butter and honey sandwiches after this one time, a friend of my mom made one with butter as well, and it was the most disgusting thing. Ruined them for life. My husband made me one once and I gagged when I tried to eat it. He was so confused. "You like jam, how is this different?" I know it's stupid. I just can't do it. We use peanut butter for a lot of things. Celery, apples, bananas. Peanut butter banana chocolate milkshakes are the best. Yumm.

Try some European butter. It's made with lactobacterial culture and actually has flavor. American butter has a very neutral-to-nonexistant flavor.
