Yes, it's a Marmite sandwich. Not sure if it's the same as Vegemite. I think it's called like that in Australia? Or is it something different?

i've never tried marmite, but have had vegemite (and really, really, really, tried hard to like it!, i swear') when we spent time in brisbane.

if marmite is anything like vegemite, its gonna be a hard pass from me.

though i feel like i could like it if used in like stews or gravies or marinades or something.

anyone try that?

Yes, Vegemite, Marmite and promite are all great additions to meaty stews , Soups and casseroles. They all taste similar but slightly different my pick of the 3 is promite, on hot toast lots of real butter and a smidge of promite

Never again. My daughter ordered truffle fries thinking there would be just a few shavings of truffle on top but no. These were aioli covered monsters that no one wanted. They gave me heartburn (for the first time in 3 yrs)

If there was ever a fried potato I didn’t like it was these. My daughter ordered truffle fries thinking there would be just a few shavings of truffle on top but no. These were aioli covered monsters that no one wanted.

Oh yea, that truffle stuff is an intense flavor. I imagine that would have been hard to eat. I would have passed as well.

Yes I updated the post because I forgot to add the heartburn it gave me

Eh no fun!

There is a place by me that has fantastic truffle fries, I haven't had them since surgery but they were quite tasty. They used the truffle quite well.

Honestly I don’t believe there was any actual truffle in this. Made the aioli had truffle oil 🤷🏽‍♀️

And now- a bunch of baked goods that I have absolutely NO clue what to do with. I might try and pawn them off to friends on Facebook!
Peanut Butter fudge, blueberry crumble Cookies, cranberry muffins, mini sweet potato pies, sweet potato pie bars, and a sweet potato pie. My cooking averse oldest even made vanilla whipped cream!

Vegemite & marmite are similar in that their main ingredient is yeast extract (from barley & wheat) but they’ve some other different ingredients. Vegemite has a much stronger taste & is thicker & harder to spread.

Promite has vegetable Protein as it’s main ingredient. It is a softer spread & has a slightly sweeter & more mellow taste.

All three are good sources of Vitamin B & generally considered healthier spreads. The main problem is you tend to slather butter on with them. LOL!

I’m a Promite girl but I did enjoy Marmite when I was a child which my paternal grandmother always had. Vegemite is too strong - even the smell irritates me. Yeah, not a good Aussie about that. 😁

I've cooked. So I'm proud. Rice in the rice cooker (was out of frozen), vegetables and mock chicken strips with a sate sauce.

That looks delish! Squash and zucchini are one of my favorites!
