The smell of Twiglets emerges directly from Satan's arse.

Twiglets have nothing to do with Marmite. For one thing they’re revolting as opposed to delicious.

Smell-wise, I can see why people would conflate the two. Along with the smell of Beelzebum.

I always assumed Twiglets were related to Marmite, what are they then (I know, I know, Google it). Can you even still buy them?

According to wikipedia they are coated in a yeast extract and were invented by the French.

I'm with Racing and BB regarding Twiglets, as well as Marmite. Are all three of us related?

The name itself sounds like some form of toilet cleaner rather than foodstuff. Whereas Marmite might end up losing its copyrighted name as the term marches ever more firmly over to meaning 'polarising.'

On the hand Bovril is vile. I don't mind either, but Bovril would just shade it for me.
A favourite snack as a kid was a thin spread of Bovril on thickly buttered white bread. Delicious!

Bovril? Described by an old school friend as "Made of cow's arse". OK with boiling water in a cup at a football match when the alternative is piss beer or pissier tea but not suitable on breadstuffs. As to being related to anyone on here many of us are related by our love........ .....of cars.  |

When I was younger my mum used to mix Marmite/Bovril into porridge. I have no idea why she thought that was in any way nice, but I didn't like it one bit. It was truly nasty.

What do you do if you're a brewer and after making the beer you're left with a load of shitty, salty gunk - throw it away like most businesses do with waste product? Not if you're a marketing genius, bottle it up and sell it as a health food because there are always people daft enough to buy it. Brilliant.

Currently I've been enjoying my porridge completely plain!

Bit of Golden Syrup on top does me. Never heard of apple on porridge, sounds awfully posh!

Mini Shredded Wheat with chopped up fresh fruit is a decent breakfast in my book. Chopped fruit into porridge for the winter sounds pretty good too. Failing that, a full English.

I do my best to live up to stereotypes about out-of-touch liberal elite Londoners by breakfasting on organic granola with Greek yoghurt, accompanied by an expresso. Sometimes washed down by a home-made smoothie-type drink made by chucking into the blender whatever fruit we've got in the fridge.

I drink coffee and eat fruit for breakfast in the week. At weekends I basically open the fridge and eat whilst standing there.
