Have you tried it, am I mad for even liking it a bit.

Tried this now. It is confusing to eat, I went from liking it to not being sure to liking it several times over the course of a slice of toast!

On balance, it's inferior to just plain old Marmite on a piece of toast IMO.

I put some Marmite and some Whole Earth peanut butter on toast on Thursday. It wasn’t particularly nice. I’m not going to bother buying the ready-combined stuff.

Well, i tried it today. I like it. Just makes peanut butter that bit more interesting.

The wife wasn't sure but thinks it will work well in a satay sauce :D. I'm game

Try Bovril.

Bovril is significantly > Marmite.

Ah but you probs have butter mixed with your marmite which makes it nicer imo.

Nope, not a fan of butter.

Vegemite, yes. Bovril, no thanks.

Might have to buy another jar to try that out as this is disappearing too quickly! The wife has decided she does like it afterall. :lol:

I went to buy more too - they've put the price up from 2 quid to 2.40 in Tescos. OUTRAGEOUS.

KP Crunchy was on offer so bought that instead. It's preferable to Whole Earth.

Whole Earth organic is the best peanut butter but would be utterly useless to make satay.

It tastes of timber.

My favourite at the moment is from Aldi.

I love the whole earth organic Peanut Butter, I only buy it when it's on offer so it's a wee treat :lol:. The dark roast one is really good too.

Usually get the really big tub of the not organic whole earth crunchy. We go through a lot of peanut butter.

I spread some of the marmite crunchy stuff on an omelette earlier. It sort of worked 😂

I accidentally bought the organic Whole Earth and it’s even nicer. Fucking gorgeous stuff, just a bit pricey 😄

Nath, it tastes of peanuts, not additives, sugar etc.

Whole Earth is v nice. I'm also a fan of Pip & Nut's stuff.

The Marmite one has now almost gone :?
