 This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it."Marmite is traditionally eaten as a savory spread on bread, toast, savory biscuits (crackers in US), and other similar baked products. Owing to its concentrated taste it is usually spread thinly with butter. My favorite use of Marmite is used in making Twiglets. Twiglets are a wheat-based crisp snack shaped like small twigs, originating in the United Kingdom. I LOVE Twiglets!!! Anyway, back to my point – I found this Nigella Lawson recipe for Marmite pasta. My husband, Eric, loves Marmite and Nigella Lawson, for that matter, so I thought I would try it out on him. data-pin-do=)
