Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I will not eat lutefisk. I will not eat yeast based sandwich spreads. What's the deal with these foods. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiDisaster Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 My best friend in primary school used to get Marmite sandwiches for lunch a lot. I still remember the first time I tried a piece. A truly shocking experience. It's weird stuff. I had more of it over the years though and eventually didn't mind it. Never really liked it though. I wonder if I can buy it in the supermarket here...

We found it. We even found Tim Tams. In Gresham, Oregon. Also, Vegemite on buttered bread is the the physical embodiment of a joy-filled outing in the sunshine.

KiDisaster Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The supermarket here has a small section of British snacks and foods right next to the Mexican section (No Jaffa Cakes though, to my endless dismay). If they have it anywhere it'll be there. 7 minutes ago, Ser Scot A Ellison said: Is it a savory or a sweet tasted? Does it taste like the smell of bread baking... or what? I like yeasty bread but yeast flavored spreads just seems... over the top. It is definitely not sweet. Apart from that it's very hard to describe. Especially considering I haven't had it in many years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hardy taste to describe, but I would say it's a little bit beefy. That's not really the best way to describe it but I can't think of a better way. It's a strong flavour. Cheese and marmite toasties are delicious. So much goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebble thats Stubby Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 marmite does not taste of yeast. thats like saying beer tastes of yeast. Yeast is necessary for making both but they taste very different. I used to love marmite. but now it tastes so salty, probably cos I've cut so much salt out of my diet. I wouldn't say it tastes beefy although its kinda similar to Bovril in taste which is made from beef so... Scott have you ever tried twiglets?

Mlle. Zabzie Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Why in the name of all that is holy is lutefisk even in this conversation? Have you even had lutefisk? Smelled it? Let's just say ones feelings about lutefisk cannot be mild. It is impossible based on the nature of the stuff in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereward Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 What does Marmite taste like? It tastes like I imagine Satan's jockstrap would after it'd been worn continuously for about 300 years of energetic rugby, then stuffed with Stilton and left in a locker for about two eons.

Zabzie, For the sake of conversation. Twiglets, they are knobbly breadsticks coated with marmite. ;Probably a British specialty. In the unlikely event your making to Worldon this year, I'll bring some for you to try. Herward is obviously in the Hate it camp. Marmite you either love it or hate it, there is no middle ground.

IheartIheartTesla Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Just use hummus for your sandwich spreads. I contend it is less disgusting than anything mentioned and still to be mentioned (such as peanut butter and jelly) in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Mayo and mustard are what go on sandwiches. I do enjoy a PB&J from time to time. It the J must be strawberry preserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Marmite but I do like Bovril, which people not from the UK, Ireland or a few former British colonies also seem to hate when they try it.

KiDisaster Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Peanut butter, blackberry jam, sliced banana and potato chips (or corn flakes) toasted on sourdough bread is the One True King of sandwiches. Gotta add the chips after toasting though so they don't get soggy. Although I had a fish Reuben at some restaurant a while back that gave it a run for its money. 22 minutes ago, IheartIheartTesla said: Just use hummus for your sandwich spreads.

I've been on a low sodium diet for a few months now. I couldn't eat some polenta my brother made the other night cause it tasted so salty to me.
