Thank you for what? Something to go straight down the toilet and skip the middleman?

Every kind of wrong.
Why do Marmite insist on pushing themselves in to every food type these days?
If people (definitely not me) want Marmite in/on something then leave them to do it themselves.

Mrs Binners would no doubt love these. But then she's a deviant.

I'd rather eat somebody else's toenails

Gastro-heresy RIGHT THERE.

A classic combo sullied by that viscous shite that's fit only to be used as a road surfacing material.

I'd rather weld my face to decommissioned oil rig.

Shame on you M&S food tech and procurement people.

I'll do my own thanks. They will taste better and because they don't come under the 'foodie' heading, they'll be a tenth of the price...

It's quite upsetting to see so many anti-Marmite protestors in. I suppose not everyone can possess a sophisticated palate.

I thoroughly approve of this discovery OP, though I'm more likely to fall into the diy camp of marmite application.

This is great for the Marmist on the move though 👍

Bunch of wronguns. The food of the gods today is a mince pie and cheddar toastie.

Butter the bread. Place the pie on the bread. Punch the pie. Add cheddar, lid up and wang it in the toastie machine.

Thank me later.

I can empathise with this as I've rejected Marmite Peanut Butter on the basis its a lot cheaper to DIY.   Gonna buy a pack of those once though to try out.

I'd roll my own - the official Marmite stuff I've tried never has enough Marmite for me.

As inspiration for tomorrow's lunch, excellent. Thank you OP.

Would I buy them? No, not when I can DIY and get greater volume at lower financial and environmental cost.

if you like shite PB e.g. SunPat it’s ok. I like the quality stuff but will defo mix it with marmite on toast!

I do marmite & cheese on crumpets quite often... these ones look like they’ve not got nearly enough of either topping tbh!

A) they'll not be Warburton*s crumpets so they will be crap
B) the crumpet needs toasted first, buttered, marmited, cheesed and Bank under the grill. That abomination won't even b be c crispy on top, let alone oozing butter from the base like any good crumpet should.
C) there's no marmite in evidence
D) there is minimal cheese
E) there appears to be primula on them.

Marmite stuff is generally rubbish, the rice cakes mind are like giant twiglets upon which you can spread your topping of choice (I'd recommend a bit of gorgonzola if you happen to have some.)

The marmite cashews are amazing though, especially the dust left at the bottom! 😀

All part of the ‘So special I don’t have to spread my own’ feelgood factor that comes as part of the M&S ethos.

I once wrote a scathing review of Waitrose ‘ready peeled garlic cloves’ I saw on the salad shelves. The beautifully peeled cloves are ‘packed’ in a thick plastic tub that is so robust it could service any horse in need of a spare clopper.

There were no expletives in my review yet Waitrose still saw fit not to publish it 😗

I feel sorry for all the marmite haters. The shock of filling your gob with a slice of bread swamped under half a pot of marmite when you were expecting posh chocolate spread 🙂 (not the brown Nutella crap)

I feel it was a common experience for French exchange students 🙂

Cheesy crumpets are good. Marmite is good. Combined - undoubtedly good. But all the ready-packaged nonsense - no thanks. Not quite as bad as their 'cauliflower steaks' though for taking-the-piss-packaging.

Why do Marmite insist on pushing themselves in to every food type these days?

Ok, this is how it works, Marmite is owned by Unilever, if you have a pension that invests in the UK stock market you almost certainly own shares in Unilever, if Unilever's share price goes up, perhaps because they are adept at capitalising on gastronomic trends or tempting consumers with innovative food items, then the value of your pension increases and you can afford to retire when you want to.

Whether we like it or not is frankly irrelevant (which is an unfortunate side effect of living in a capitalist society).
