It has no founder, no organising body, no official record of who invented it and no involvement from Unilever, which makes it one of the more honest food days in the calendar. What little is known about its origins, why an unowned celebration suits this particular product rather well, and a few things to eat to mark it.

Stephen Mangan and Marmite: the actor who calls one topping combination a hate crime
Stephen Mangan is happily a Marmite-on-toast man, with one firm rule: marmalade and Marmite together on the same toast is, in his words, 'a hate crime'. A lover, then, who keeps his breakfast spreads in their proper lanes.
Florence Pugh and Marmite: the Oscar nominee who put it on toast for the nation
During lockdown, Oscar nominee Florence Pugh filmed herself making Marmite on toast with real care, and one firm rule: the butter goes on slightly cold so it only half melts into the hot toast. A genuine lover, particular about the details.
How to eat Marmite on toast (and the mistake nearly everyone makes)
The right way to eat Marmite on toast: hot toast, real butter on first so it melts, then a thin scrape, not a thick layer. The commonest mistake is using too much, which is why most people who think they hate it have never had it done properly.
MarmArtwork on Toast
You may have noticed that Squeezy Marmite jars are sporting MarmART. Marmart is a space for you to express your inner, Marmite obsessed, Van Gogh. A place to show works of art created from toast and Marmite. You can get in on the act, perhaps having your Marmart displayed in the gallery?
You either love it or you hate it
Marmite. Mmmm. Ever since I was a baby I've enjoyed the taste of this black nectar. My favourite way to enjoy this marvel of yeast extraction is with sliced tomato betwixt two slices of buttery toast. It is also one of the best hangover cures I know.
Interesting things to do with Marmite
Marmite is the most wonderful food stuff in the world and should be the staple diet of everyone that even remotely likes it. This may sound strange to a non-marmite eater, but marmite is more of a religion to those who eat it rather than just food!!!!
