Love or hate them?

I like Marmite, but I don’t think I’d fancy those.
Common or garden hot cross buns will do me, thanks.

I love marmite, but just with toast and butter. My jaw has dropped in horror at some of the suggestions. Marmite with marmalade! Or jam!
By the way, I think pendants’ corner sounds a fun place to hang out!

What’s wrong with the currant buns ? I don’t like the chocolate ones because they are too sweet and marmite belies belief. Now maybe vegemite?

Just had to put in my two penny worth! Whilst I love Marmite, I do not like raw cheese, but am happy to eat cooked cheese and love cheese flavoured things like cheese straws etc. The M&S cheese and Marmite hot cross buns are not like the normal hot cross buns because they are obviously savoury, so yes, it is a bit of a strange taste initially. I felt the flavour was quite subtle, so put extra Marmite on mine. If I had cheese in the house I would probably have tried them toasted (or warmed) with the extra Marmite and some grated cheese melted on top. I must admit that I was expecting them to be disgusting, so was pleasantly surprised. However, on balance I probably prefer to have any of the sweet flavoured hot cross buns. Even my partner who hates Marmite, although likes Marmite flavoured things like crisps, thought they were quite nice. Go on, try them!

Sounds vile to me.

Yes M&S have Marmite hot cross buns I saw them yesterday on a quick visit to our local simply fooI can't imagine what they taste like.I stuck to the luxury fruit ones which are as always delicious.

How can a bun be a hot cross bun without fruit anyway?

Hot cross buns .... eeuukkk
Marmite ..... bleugh

Both are disgusting never mind putting them both together.

Devil's advocate here.... how can a bin be a bit cross bun without fruit anyway?

Marmite-Yuk!
Cheese hot cross bun Yuk!
No prizes for guessing how I feel about cheese and Marmite hot cross buns!

Missingmoominmama thank you!
I must say, your name is a nightmare to type!

No,l dont like marmite yuk!

Sorry- autocarrot ? made me chuckle .

No, just no.

I know it is supposed to 'be a good thing' to experiment with different foods but this just sounds like a step too far. Personally I don't like my food being mucked about with. I like to enjoy the original taste of what I am eating. Marmite just tastes of salt and beef stock cubes to me so why on earth would I want it in a hot cross bun that was fine in the first place?

My son loved marmite. It was one of the few things he would eat so when we visited my parents mum always had a jar in. One day apparently dad thought he would try this substance his gs liked so much and spread it thickly on his toast. He had a rude awakening! Not sure he ever ate it again.

I can't bear Marmite so it's a no from me. I saw some the other day but didn't feel in the slightest bit tempted.

I disliked the cheese and chilli ones, I’d try these. Small problem as I only visit local shops during the pandemic to top up delivery. My favourite is a marmite and banana sandwich.

I'm with Blossoming here, love hot cross buns and marmite but not together.
I do like beans on marmite toast.

Hot press from DD and SiL they are fabulous.

Love Marmite spread thinly on Ryvita crispbreads and topped with fat free cottage cheese

I love marmite and hot cross buns but not together. Sounds revolting but each to their own.

I've never liked Marmite, but took to Vegemite when I lived in East Africa. However, when visiting Australia, I drew the line at Vegemite ice cream, at Bondi Beach.

The cheese and chilli ones are very often well reduced at the end of the day, so I assume there's not a great market for them.

Ugh from me and my husband who really likes the stuff says no not in a hot cross bun.

My DH puts marmalade and Marmite on his morning toast !,
