I've just been having breakfast. Toast and Marmite soldiers. I dip my soldiers in my tea.
I've noticed that following this, the tea has a faint but noticeable and pleasant Marmite flavour.
I wonder if I could manufacture and market it?
Could be on a winner! Anyone want to invest in Matmitea now at the ground floor?

I'll invest!
I'll send you a jar of marmite and a tea bag.
I'm thinking that a full-flavoured tea like Yorkshire Tea would work best but I'm willing to experiment with others (but not fucking herbal or fruity ones).

I think you're on to something there...
But you're not being creative enough....
Why stop with mere tea, when so
many foods can be enhanced with Marimite?
Here are a few suggestions:
Marmitesup:
Combine the heavenly flavor of Marmite with catsup, and use on all the foods you Brits enjoy putting catsup on....
like burgers, fries, and
spaghetti....
Marmite Twinkies:
Replace that sugary cream filling with something
truly tasty....sponge cake and Marmite...they were made for each other....
Marmitetinis:
Four parts gin, one part dry vermouth, one part Marmite....shaken, not stirred...
Marmite Apples:
Heat Marmite in a pot, then dip in and coat your apples in the Marmite. Let chill.
Makes the perfect Halloween treat!

Uh Jim...
Whatever made you think that we don't do that already?
Particularly the spaghetti one. Marmite maketh the bolognaise sauce!

Somebody beat you to it, Gob.
From Wikipedia - "Marmite can also be made into a winter drink by adding one teaspoon to a mug of hot water much like Bovril."
I went to Wikipedia to read about Marmite because I really know nothing about it - other than Gob is a Marmitian.
So, anyway, I now know more about Marmite, but have not tasted it.
I was particularly impressed by this information regarding the origin of Marmite - "Justus von Liebig discovered that brewer's yeast could be concentrated, bottled and eaten."
It's probably a good thing that old von Liebig didn't discover that dog shit could be concentrated, bottled and eaten.

Marmite as a drink is lush - especially with a couple of drops of worcestershire sauce plus it has zero calories
add a spoonful or two of Bovril and yummmmmyyyyyy (tho one mug is never ever enough) I add marmite to stews, soups, spaghetti sauce, bolagnaise, cottage pies, gravy, scones, & homemade bread amongst other things, and tonight whilst Brahms is having Brie & Cranberry rolls for his tea I'm having welsh cheddar & marmite in mine.

That doesn't sound really appealing to me....
The only beverages I put Worcestershire in are Bloody Marys and Bull Shots.....

On second thought, Gob, don't bother sending that sample of marmite.

Yeah but that's just marmite and water Joe. This is about the addition of tea to the mix...

Designer perfumes inspired by cities usually tend to flatter its occupants with whiffs of flowers or citrusy scents.
But if the residents of Bolton-on-Trent were excited to have a new perfume designed with them in mind, they must have been a little disappointed when they finally got to smell it.
Businesswoman Victoria Brookes' latest perfume, inspired by the Staffordshire town, smells of Marmite and beer. It is an unflattering tribute to Burton, which has a reputation for smelling of ale due to the surrounding hops fields.
But Brookes thinks her new fragrance works perfectly - despite also smelling of leather and Branston Pickle - and is selling the new product for £36.50 in the run up to Christmas.
She said: 'Burton is known for its smell but not always in a good way. But the perfume smells really good - I have had lots of compliments from people.
'It is made up of Gourmand, representing Marmite and Branston Pickle, which were invented in Burton.
'It also has leather, representing the boots and footballs used at Burton Albion, and Ambra, inspired by amber nectar, the beer which made Burton famous worldwide.
'Normally you make a perfume from smell but we created Eau-de-Burton from the idea of the smells that make up the town.
'I was shocked at how good it was as that is not normally how you make a perfume.'
Victoria owns a bridal shop called Weddings2Go where couples can use her Blue Box perfume service to create their own scent for the big day.
But Victoria is not expecting too many to go for her latest concoction.
She said: 'Brides are very interested in the service. They can make a special scent for themselves, the groom and even the bridesmaids.
'But we're not expecting too many people to chose Eau-de-Burton for their wedding day!
'It's more of a novelty item for die hard Burtoians who might want to give their loved ones something a bit different in the run up to Christmas.'
All perfume in the Blue Box range costs £36.50 for 50ml which Victoria believes is good value for money.
She said: 'Eau-de-Burton is a one off. Blue Box is more for brides who want to create their own special scent.
'I think it's quite a good price considering you can create a unique product just for you.' She added:
'Sometimes perfumes go out of production and it can be really frustrating trying to find it again.
'I have scoured the internet before looking for my favourite scent. But with this service you can make something that is very close to that special smell.'
