But my son wants marmite sandwiches

28 years old, he is.

Maybe try and pre-mix the marg and the marmite?

I wish marmite sold it pre-blended. Marmutter? Marmiterine?

freamon , (edited )

Dunno. They sell hummus and marmite mixed together. I suspect we have Paul McCartney to blame, 'cos he’s popularised that challenging combo.

I’ve had the premixed marmite and peanut butter before. I’m not a fan of peanut butter normally, but actually… Quite good!

Buttmite?

9point6 ,

This is actually genius, not least of all because it allows you to go full decadence and use real butter too and mitigate the spreading problems of both foods

Edit: I’ve just realised this post is a month old, how far have I scrolled…?

Toast the bread first

Either you don’t have kids OR you don’t have a child like ours. A bread sandwich was requested, and only the foolhardy would serve a toasted sandwich!

Is there any butter/marg on this at all?
That's where your problem is.
Nice layer of whatever fatty goodness (if you don't have the "spreadable" kind, leave it out so it is), then the marmite goes on to that, spreads no problem and tastes nicer!

Now you've made me want a marmite sandwich and I have no bread in the house. 😥😂

funkless_eck ,

you can see in the photo op has clumps of butter stuck into the bread. They are spreading the butter straight from the fridge

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

I’ll have you know it’s only the best Aldi spreadable butter. The clumps are a requirement because the 7 year old will inspect the interior and needs to be able to see the butter.

telllos ,

Yes, you need butter. This is how I spread cenovis. I see marmite behave the same. If you spread butter first it’s much easier to spread it after.

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

There is spreadable butter on here, some has already melted at room temp so it’s not that visible. But it’s a tricky balancing act with the wee man. Too much butter is a negative, but he needs to be able to see it also. I’m hoping he mellows as he grows older, but I suspect that’s a vain hope! I shall try and perfect my technique. I’ve almost always been a toast and martite person, so I think this is a just a life skill I have never learned properly.

DessertStorms ,
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

Best advice I can give in that case is make sure all the ingredients are at room temp, otherwise there's no escaping the torn bread situation.
The other option is make them as toast the night before and serve them cold and a little soggy the next morning? Sounds a little bad spelled out like that, but I'd eat that no issue. 🤷‍♀️

TenderfootGungi , to ukcasual in Bloody Marmite Sandwiches

As an American, I just cannot eat Marmite. But we have suspected we simply do not know how to use it? For example, it would likely flavor a stew nicely? But there is no way I am eating that straight on bread. Nope!

Not even going to try black pudding or that jelly made from eels…

Mane25 ,

It’ll go nicely in a stew, any thing you want to add some umami flavour to really. Just don’t overdo it until you’re confident.

Carter , to ukcasual in Bloody Marmite Sandwiches

The technique it to buy own brand yeast extract. Tastes identical but a lot more spreadable.

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

For now I shall ignore the blasphemy, but I will say I must have been unlucky the only time I’ve tried this. Because the own brand yeast extract I tried was much thicker, and much less salty. Disappointing all round.

Carter ,

I’ve tried both Morrison’s and Asda and they’re both great.

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

Good to know. We live a couple of minutes walk from a 24 hour Asda, so next time I loose my rag with his marmite sandwiches I know what to do!

StarManta , to lemmyshitpost in Who Doctor?

If I remember correctly I think this was made after he’d been cast as the Doctor but before his episodes started airing, which means it pretty much had to be an intentional joke to cast him this way.

BigDaddySlim , to lemmyshitpost in Who Doctor?
@BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world avatar

Isn’t this from World War Z where he actually plays a doctor with the World Health Organization?

oNevion ,

Yep, and it was kinda an inside joke as iirc, the public didn’t know yet who the new doctor was.

@TheFool@infosec.pub avatar

Makes sense, that’s why you can see brad Pitt on the left and the other Guy is also a W.H.O. Doctor

Spoilers!

(Which is what they say on the show when someone reveals the future, I’m not accusing you of anything.)

burgersc12 , to lemmyshitpost in Who Doctor?

I just learned that he was the “W.H.O. Doctor” before becoming “Doctor WHO”, while listening to the No Such Thing As A Fish podcast within the last few days!

If you crit fail the charisma check do the gym bros think you're hitting on them?

They all think you're mocking them and a turn-based battle commences.

Pro Tip: If you are an attractive female and are at the gym, find a guy busting his ass (lifting weights, doing cardio, etc), preferably by himself (not with “the guys” or trying to impress anyone), and tell him you think he is doing great and that he looks great. Then walk away.

You will likely make his day. This will work even if he is gay.

Yes but then he’ll instantly fall for you

superduperenigma ,

Pro tip: if you are even a somewhat average looking woman and are remotely nice to or smile in the general direction of a man, there is a very real possibility that he will decide you’re flirting with him and get uncomfortably creepy and refuse to take any hints to the contrary.

Llewellyn ,

But what if you are really unattractive one? Should you leverage it for motivation by the opposite approach and yell: work harder you lazy sack!

Disgustoid , to cat in Returning to the surface after exploring deep in the duvet caves.

Gotta hide from the monsters by making sure you’re under or inside the duvet! It’s perfectly rational.

Chetzemoka , to cat in Returning to the surface after exploring deep in the duvet caves.

Haha, I have a blanket burrower too. Bedtime = "you're letting me explore the blanket cave now, right?"

Hoping that they don't learn about "inside the box spring." That's where the real 3am magic (aka cat fights) happen.

fakeman_pretendname OP ,

Haha, I don’t think they can get inside the bed base, thankfully - but I’m very familiar with the 3am play-combat. There’s normally one or two sleeping on our bed at night, and there’s sometimes a competition for position. The one pictured is quite skilled at “Assassin’s Creed” style aerial takedowns off the top of the wardrobe, onto his poor unsuspecting siblings sleeping near our feet.

Chozo ,

Oh man, that reminds me of when I was a kid, one of our cats had babies and decided to drag them all under my mom's bed. They ended up tearing a hole in the box spring, and there'd occasionally be an entire litter of kittens running and pouncing around in there at all hours. Drove my mom crazy.
