Maybe they should just design a better jar in the first place tbh

E: 147 is the maximum break in snooker. Ronnie O'Sullivan is renowned for licking marmite straight from the jar every time he gets one.

Quick poll of people who do not like marmite: how many of you mixed it with butter, because you are not supposed to eat it straight.

If you mix it with butter it tastes good. Like Twiglets good.

Great now I'm gonna have to try this

There's also the Marmite Babybels I've seen

I've tried butter in tea, and I've tried brewing Marmite as a hot drink... is the next step brewing Marmite butter tea? Good lord

I just don't see the appeal of marmite. I could have a lovely slice of buttery toast, or I could make the butter look like there's poo poo running through it and now it tastes of yeast.

Novus Ordo Seclorum
The best use of marmite other than on toast with butter is this:

Take a couple of spoons of butter, toss it in a pan with a teaspoon or two of dried sage and melt on a medium-low heat until the butter starts to froth and the sage is aromatic. Stir in about a teaspoon of marmite and mix well. It doesn't need to be homogenous but you can get it close.
Toss some al dente spaghetti with a few dashes of the water you cooked the pasta in into the pan and mix it together.

This was taught to me by an italian. She didn't think it was particularly authentic but it is common in her region where they have something very similar to marmite. It's delicious and simple to make.

Marmite is alright, but the God-tier salty goop to go on buttery toast is

(for bonus points: spread it on your buttery toast, top with scrambled eggs, then chuck on a few anchovies, a handful of capers & some parsley. It's called scotch woodcock & it is the brunch of kings)
E: also chuck a teaspoon into stews, gravies, sauces or literally anything that you're cooking for a real nice rich umami flavour. Cut back on the salt tho

No, I swear it lists it as an option on the jar. I've done it with both Bovril and Marmite. It's alright, nothing to write home about.

yeah except this isn't "normalising its fall" this is the BBC doing a favour for a multinational drinks corporation to promote the startup they've just heavily invested in

Eh, the first way works fine if you don't tilt forward too much. Christmas stuffing on a pizza though. I might have to try that one.

Most of my family is vegetarian so we don't normally go in for the big roast type dinner - quite often we'll do like a buffet kind of thing where my Mum cooks a cheese and onion flan (she makes a really good one) and there'll be all fancy cheeses, breadsticks, all that kind of thing. It's good.

Anyway this year me and my brother made pizzas for the whole family, and the only Christmassy thing we put on them was chestnuts - the kind that come pre-roasted in water (might have been oil? The important thing is that they come in a packet and they are moist) - anyway gotta tell you they are an S-tier pizza topping. I can well-imagine stuffing working well too.

I've got one right here. I put it in the fridge last night and got told off. I wouldn't put marmite in the fridge but my brain just went squeezy bottle and filed it in the fridge automatically.

So, I totally agree that Corbyn should have the first go at forming a government of national unity with the sole remit of extending the A50 deadline and calling a GE. But am I the only one who thinks it’s so clearly the only good idea to take us off the collision course with No Deal that I don’t care if another caretaker PM does it instead? Harriet Herman really doesn’t strike me as a bad option to literally do two things in a time-limited window if that’s what it takes. Corbyn remains leader of the party and leads the GE campaigning, so I really don’t know what is lost if he can’t execute on his plan but someone else can.

The only reason people don't want Corbyn is because they think being caretaker PM would help him win the election.

Of course if he loses, we end up with Johnson again and we leave with no deal. That will be the choice in the election: a Corbyn government or no deal with the Tories.

So everyone who doesn't want Corbyn as caretaker doesn't really care about preventing no deal, because they want him to lose the subsequent election to Johnson. They just want to seem like they care. So Corbyn should absolutely tell them to gently caress off if they expect him to back someone else.

I don't buy that everyone who doesn't want corbyn doesn't care about no deal. And that wasn't what that dude was saying. I mean they might be wrong, and I think they are, but it doesn't mean they dont care about no deal.

And you can get something similar in the soft drinks aisle of the supermarket for £2 or something. But that doesn't have the brand name or the attractive bottle (and the BBC isn't getting paid cash money to promote it, of course...even though they absolutely don't do advertising).
