And Marmite! Yummy

Haha! At least i can tell you I've binged on both and they are both fabulous gooey goodness!
Googled. Cadbury - yes! Marmite? Not so much...
Marmite is literally the devil, you either love it, or hate it, you will NEVER meet anyone that says...."well its ok"I don't know what you would call it there, we have a not so nice version called yeast extract, but that makes it sound horrible.
You spread it on hot buttered toast and yum it up!
Is there a chocolate-y flavor involved at all?
Nope not at all, it's like ......I can't describe it, do you guys have twiglets out there?
We don't have twiglets that I've seen but they look like something I've seen here that's by another name..
It's a really savoury quite salty tasting spread, I've even just Googled "how do I describe the taste of marmite" and it came back.......you can't haha!
LMAO! I'll have to ask my friend here from London. Maybe her family brought some on their last visit. I think she moved here for audible and s'mores. Oh - and love...
Lol ahhh love!I moved from England to Wales for love, maybe not as far, but still a different country!
extract from Google. ...I discovered Marmite on a trip to England. I am from the States and
was going back to my "roots" of Axbridge and Bristol. I happened upon Marmite while strolling through a market in Keynsham (by Bath).
I purchased it...not knowing really what it was and put in on some
cheese. To my delight it was wonderfully salty and tasty. If you think of consistancy and color of almost frozen molasis, then take away all the sweetness and think of the pan scrapings (kind of burnt bits)from a roast (like pot roast), you'll get the idea of the flavor. It is very intense.
I bought it and my wife thought it was awfull. This was good, for I could eat as much as I wanted without sharing. To my dismay, we found it in one of our more upscale groceries (I buy it by the truck load), but I caught my wife eating some and now we fight over the bottles. She now has her stash and I have mine. I run out often, so
I have to steal hers. I am hooked. I can eat it straight out of the jar, in fact I can eat almost a small jar without realizing it.
Yep, majorly hooked.
Cheers,
P.S. have a glass of water on hand.
Apparently I can buy through amazon! I'll wait for a brave moment...
Haha yeah maybe not, it is an aquired taste, ask your friend first lol
hahaha this discussion is hilarious. I am not a really a s'mores fan per se. I love the roasted marshmallow part the most, so I tend to roast them over my gas stove and eat them without any chocolate or graham crackers. So good.
LOL! Sometimes I skip the graham crackers!
Ok, well we might have gotten a little off topic today... ;)
When we go camping we have contests on who can make the weirdest s'more concoction. I've made Oreo s'mores, and we've tried all different kinds of candy bars: Reese's, Kit Kats, ect...
I just came from a Labor Day Party ... my friend had a S'Mores buffet. She provided a variety of crackers/cookies/biscuits (oatmeal raisin, ginger snaps, cinnamon graham crackers, shortbread) and a variety of chocolates (dark chocolate, D.C. w/ raspberry, D.C. w/ mint, milk chocolate w/ caramel, traditional Hershey's, and a wonderful coconut-curry dark chocolate) and then the marshmallows. We each toasted our own mallows and then assembled whatever combination we wanted of chocolate and cookie/cracker.I had 1) dark chocolate on cinnamon graham cracker and then 2) coconut curry chocolate on ginger snaps
YUM
I think I should get credit for finding "S'Mores" just because of that event ... LOL
lol BC. That sounds awesome. I had a s'more like evening myself. My mom made s'more cupcakes (chocolate cake and frosting, marshmallow center and graham cracker bottom) and I thought it would be awesome to roast a couple of marshmallows to add to the cupcake. It was delicious, but exactly why I'm a chubby girl. Ashley, Kit Kat s'more sounds delicious. Oooooh a Rolo s'more...that I might have to make myself. Yummmmm
After a page and a half of s'more talk I feel like I'm butting in off topic. :DWill this work for red shirt...?
Diane on his arm, also dressed late flapper, red and tight.
