• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Marmite

Nothing wrong with (thinly spread) marmite, but I wouldn't buy it. Bovril's much better. Thinly spread Bovril on hot buttered toast is the food of gods.
 
Love it! And I'm happy with it spread as thickly as that. However, if you want something which really is revolting, try the Australian attempt at Marmite, called Vegemite. It looks a little like used wheel bearing grease, and probably tastes about the same.
 
Marmite on soldiers was giving to me as a very early first solid food. My kids have grown up with it too. I can spread as thick as others spread Nutella ( an awful sticky chocolate spread).
Marmite and cucumber sandwiches have been a staple of family picnics for as long as I can remember. I’ve even introduced this delicacy to a few locals here with favourable results.
Marmite on toast with cheese on top another favourite.
An thanks to Adrian a spoonful now gets added to the water when boiling spuds before roasting.

Rob, a low salt variant, in a blue capped jar, is available.

Tried it Andy, and it's still far too salty. There's not even Lo-Salt on the table any more which was my preferred 'go to' so over the last few years. I've not added any additional salt/sodium to any of my grub for quite a while; SWIMBO likewise, although she has a pot of sea salt on the table with a small jade spoon I made for her - Rob
 
The blue topped low salt type is still readily available but has a stiff consistency even when warm and is comparatively tasteless.
The high salt content has led to a ban in parts of Europe.
Bovril is rendered cow,Marmite is rendered yeast.
Different source but same process
I remember when they had metal caps
 
You can now buy jars of aged Marmite......It's got an even stronger, deeper flavour than normal Marmite.....I've been eating Marmite for most of my 64 years and my favourite way of eating it is spread on a toasted Cheddar cheese & Marmite sandwich 👍
 
Marmite is great with fried mushrooms and walnuts, generously sprinkled with chopped parsley. Really. I had some today wrapped in a tortilla.
 
One of the few things that we buy from Aldi * is their version of marmite. Tastes better and about half the price.

* nothing wrong with Aldi but prefer Lidl
 
Aldi do a 100% peanut butter 1kg which is the best price around.

Hated the stuff as a kid but health scare has forced me to change my ways and this stuff has no salt, sugar or palm oil thrown in,so it's actually a very reasonable route to protein.
It's only downside is with no palm oil it settles and separates so it needs stirring before use.
The plastic tubs are useful storage though!

Aldi 1kg tubs of peanut butter are not only well priced but very tasty. I've tried the Aldi marmite but went back to the original.

If you've not tried it, peanut butter and marmite is an excellent topping.
