By happy coincidence had Marmite on my toast this morning.

But if you are going for it, toast some white bread and put on plenty of butter. Then dab on small amounts of Marmite and lightly spread. (Too much and it will be overpowering).

(If you like it see if you can find Twiglets somewhere,
these are not twigs coated with Marmite - but you
could be forgiven for thinking that!)

Edit. It seems that a 'Canadian version' of Marmite is now allowed. 🙂

A travesty down there for sure - NZ Marmite - with its almost honey-like smell and aftertaste - is the only "Marmite" you can get in Australia, although when I lived there I did come across "My Mate" sometimes, which was U.K. Marmite under a different brand. The Australians themselves make something called Promite, which was a passable Marmite-like substance.
