Do you use a separate knife for the Marmite?
I just go straight from the butter to the marmite like an animal. Does this make me a savage?

I don't. I can use a single knife and have never, I repeat, never contaminated a single jar of Marmite. #Marmite
You're delusional, if there's no washing/wiping happen between rounds of spreading. Harsh words, but fair, I think.
I use this knife which came with the toast rack and a jar of marmite. We don't use the toast rack (two of us usually and 4 slice toaster), so we got rid of it eventually. The blade came out of the handle and the Marmite sign has come off, but I've since glued the blade back in (just need to wash off the residue but been lazy).
I got my set years back reasonably priced in a supermarket. Now you have to get it on eBay. I think I prefer it to the current scalpel they sell. The proper knife is good day in day out and the silicone one is great for cleanup I'm sure, but I have generic small silicone utensils for that.
Butter straight to marmite is a societal norm. Contaminating the butter with marmite is a capital offence.
Yeah, I've made something similar at home as a last resort after running out of butter, but while I like my pb crunchy, I'm not so much a fan of crunchy marmite.
I use the blade of the knife for the butter, and then use the handle of the knife for the marmite.
Foolproof!
I used to hate Marmite, for years, my wife however loves the stuff.
This was a source of minor friction until we had kids and I had to start preparing toast with the “vile paste” for them.
Then it became a source of humor as each year (on my birthday), I would earnestly try a bite during their breakfast.
After a few years, it didn’t seem so bad.. then I actually started to (gasp) like the stuff.
Now I love it!
@Fassmacher Depends on how dirty your knife is. I make sure to whipe all the butter off on the toast before drlving into the Marmite.
I’m more of a marmalade man myself, but I use a teaspoon for the initial marmalade extraction to avoid getting butter in the jar.
I have Vegemite which is much better not your British knock off that was invented 21 years earlier.
If you're an Aussie that thinks Marmite is bad then you've probably only tried the bottled turd that is made under licence by Sanitarium Foods. It's truly awful. If you want the real deal then you need to buy Our Mate.
Thankfully the days of buying under-the-counter genuine Marmite in Aus are over and I no longer feel like someone buying illegal substances.
Mrs Spudger is an Australian and she eats Promite. It's even more disgusting than Vegemite. The latter is just one of a number of inferior Aussie knock-offs such as Tim Tams.
I'm British and only tried Vegemite semi-recently but it really is much better than Marmite.
Yes, i keep a separate knife by the door in case someone tries to bring that shite home.
@Fassmacher@lemmy.world It depends how much butter is on the knife after you spread it. A real savage would put butter remnants back into the Marmite jar.
Per my brit gf:
Yes. But most people don't. However, if you use the same knife, you'll get butter in the Marmite, and because marmite isn't refrigerated that gets really gross
