jelly and custard at parties!

I used to work on the coloring and flavor of Jell-O when I worked for the (former) General Foods many moons ago. Boy, the fun we had!

But I never tasted it with custard - that would be an interesting experience, methinks ... ;)
 
All I shall say is 'don't knock it until youv'e tried it' [although Holly already has!]

Marmite is wonderful too, especially on hot buttered toast.
 

jelly and custard - what a great combination! I love both. I'll put jello into my trifle next time I make it - that will make jello, custard, whipped cream, fruit and cake - pure heaven.

Love marmite too - on toast with coffee. I was born on the wrong continent!
 
Look what you've started OA!
i hate tapioca, sago, and rice pudding.
i will join Cookie with Marmite on toast with my coffee!
 
I knew an American school teacher who was new here and she asked her students if they liked peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She couldn't figure out why they all laughed.
 
Found this online: http://www.ibtimes.com/whats-really-marmite-and-why-it-banned-644308

Maybe this will help unravel the mystery of marmite:

The main ingredients of Marmite yeast extract, salt, vegetable extract, niacin, thiamine, spice extracts, riboflavin, folic acid, and celery extract, but the exact composition of the spread is a trade secret. The vitamin concentration in the savoury paste is very high, which is one reason why the spread has remained popular despite its strong taste, and why it is considered a vitamin-enhanced foodstuff in Denmark. A serving of the product provides 36 percent of the recommended daily allowance of niacin, 50 percent of the folic acid a body needs, and 40% of the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin B-12.

Gawd Marmite is horrible..

It's made from verrrrry salty beef extract with the texture of black treacle but solid like peanut butter and is spread on bread.... *puke*

I'm sure vegans who use Marmite for their source of B12 would be upset to find there is beef in it! Lots of yeast, but no beef.
 
No I agree...it is actually made from the waste by product of beer... but to me it tastes like a very salty slimy beef extract...and as the link says it became popular with veggies in place of beef extract.
