ReplyDeleteAccording to my mom, when i was a little kid, i only eat plain porridge with marmite, i don't eat fish porridge or pork porridge at all.
Till now, sometime, i still do that, marmite with plain porridge.
Use marmite like a seasoning, just a small amount, or together with vegetarian osyter sauce, so it wouldn't overpower the flavour or taste of the soup or dish.
Marmite on bread, i don't eat it, i don't know why. But, marmite with hot water, yes, i do it sometimes, if i want a cup of hot quick stuff.
Thanks SF :)
Cheers
