Now, then, hear me out! If you don’t like Marmite then this isn’t the thread for you, but just try it - toasted bread of your choice, butter of your choice then a layer of Marmite with a nice tangy layer of marmalade on top, delicious. This can also be eaten cold for trailside sandwiches…
Also on the sweet and sour theme, fry halved bananas in a hot pan and before they go mushy drop Lea and Perrins, soy sauce and some brown sauce in the pan. You should be rewarded with a lot of spitting and sometimes a pan fire whilst it all caramelises. Put it between some bread and you have a quick, delicious and nutritious meal.
Mint sauce on a bacon sandwich
Peanut butter and jam/lemon curd/marmalade
Horseradish sauce on a cheese sandwich
Mint sauce on a bacon sandwich
Interesting idea; might try that. I've been a devotee of marmalade on a bacon buttie or bacon-and-toast ever since I was a nipper
cheese and mango chutney sandwich
chips and hot horseradish sauce
Hmm. I love both marmalade, and marmite, most frequent brekky is first slice of toast with marmite, then slices 2&3 with marmalade. But, I'm not sure I'd try them together.
As a kid, I ate marmite and salad cream sandwiches.
Peanut butter and mayonnaise, with sliced tomato, salt and pepper, is good too.
Plain digestive and marmite is good
But not as good as ginger nuts and cheese
Or sweet chilli sauce on plan chocolate digestives
Or Philadelphia on plain chocolate ginger nuts
But the favourite is spruce tip syrup on pancakes. A weird sweet taste of Forest and mountain
Amazing, I was musing on just this combination just a few days ago and decided against it! And I eat all sorts of weird combination sandwiches.
Maybe I'll have to try it after all...
Some of my favourites:
Peanut butter*, marmite & cheese.
Peanut butter, banana (mashed or sliced) & cheese.
Cream cheese and marmalade.
*Whole Earth crunchy, the One True Peanut Butter. Though any will do in a pinch.
Since it's Christmas you can have this one for nothing - sprouts and horseradish (works with cabage too)
I have a mate who became addicted to eating coronation chicken using Bourbon biscuits as you'd use a naan. He's off it now but had to substitute in crystal meth to do it
butter of your choice then a layer of Marmite with a nice tangy layer of marmalade on top,
No, get in the sea!
Wrong uns, the lot of you. Reported.
Graeme Obree was a big fan of marmalade and marmite sandwiches - they are super tasty and no one will steal them. For an upgrade try cream cheese, marmite and marmalade as a pancake filling.
To qualify my earlier statement (not that it really needs it), many a day has been ruined as an unsuspecting maker of Marmite on toast by a speckle of jam on the breadboard. That slightest trace of sweet contaminant utterly ruins a Marmite sandwich.
I have been combining marmite and marmalde for nearly half a centuary now but was always too afraid to talk about it as it's a bit wierd. Thanks WOF1 for giving me the strength to come out.
It is truly a composite taste, greater than the sum of it's parts.
My sandwich of choice for long rides is as follows:
Wholemeal, seeded bread
Butter
Marmite
Peanut butter
Marmalade
Sliced banana
Sliced, boiled egg
Amazing!!
OP is on the right track but needs to push the boat out a bit more..
Brie on a craker of your choice, with a smidge of black cherry jam/preserve.
@eulach you’re amongst friends, my “habit” has been going over fifty years too, I intend to pass it on to my grandson!
@funkrodent I was half way through dinner stopped and pulled a face reading that description, all it's missing is some gherkin, to be complete, surely?
Marmite under the cheese on cheese on toast. Sometimes with horseradish, sometimes with mustard, sometimes a drop of nandos sauce
Marmite and peanut butter on toast.
Marmite and peanut butter in porridge
Those Graze Crunch Marmite snacks are rather yummy.
Cheese and jam on toast. Personal favourite is Strawberry Jam & Cheddar.
Cheese with Christmas cake. Gotta be a crumbly one like Wensleydale.
That slightest trace of sweet contaminant utterly ruins a Marmite sandwich.
I think you got that the wrong way round.
Thick cut marmalade is excellent on a bacon sarnie for the bitter, sweet and salty sensation
About half a century ago I was in a sandwich shop in Sheffield when a bloke ordered "ham, jam, onion and mustard". Pretty adventurous in those days.

You could be onto something there 😉
Egg is, I suppose, optional. But the rest gives you protein, vitamins, lots of carbs, minerals etc etc. Pretty much ticks the boxes from a fuelling and recovery point of view. Tastes great too!
As it's the season - Mince Pie and Coleslaw.
Sweet and creamy deliciousness. The few I've shared this with have agreed...
Next question though: what marmalade?
I like thick cut and dark with good chunks, something like Cooper's Oxford or Mackays Dundee. Apparently it's a class thing if you like it thick or thin? *shrug*
Recently tried Rose's lemon & lime, simply because it's green and looked fun. Not what I was expecting! Really sweet, tastes like someone mixed a handful of Haribo into a cup of Sprite and left it to set. The kids love it and they all hate marmalade. Probably because This Is Not Real Marmalade.
Peanut butter and cheese. Peanut butter and banana.
Marmalade is La Vieja Fabrica from Seville oranges.
Marmite and ketchup.
No, seriously.
Breakfast in the motorhome today with our grandson (2 1/2), he had two squares of toast of marmite and two of marmalade. “Look Papa” he said, “I’ve made a sandwich”. Excellent, third generation of marmite/marmalade lovers is on it’s way! I’d like to stress that there was no coercion, pressure or subliminal thought processes applied, it was pure evolution!
sandwich of choice for me, fried egg and coleslaw, yum
Tried this for lunch today. Weird, but nice. Salty marmalade? Seems wrong. I approve.
Second sandwich was cream cheese and marmalade, with a slice of cheddar thrown in there as well. Also much approved.
Peanut butter and salad cream sandwiches. Sweet and savoury, perfick!
Wholemeal, seeded bread Butter Marmite Peanut butter Marmalade Sliced banana Sliced, boiled egg Amazing!!
The word minger feels appropriate here!
I've just caught up with this thread after not seeing it for a couple of days, and am now drooling. There are some properly good ideas in here. Mince pies and coleslaw is going to take some beating.
This is simple but a taste sensation.
Ingredients
1x salt & vinegar square crisp
1x red midget gem (mini gem for those woke types)
Method
Place midget gem on top of square crisp.
Put in mouth and experience this unique flavour combo.
