Help me with my marmite addiction

I have it on my current favorite seeded low carb bread, spread in a thick layer of butter with marmite. I also use a nice cracker, which is mainly low carb because it's very thin.
Have you tried indulging in using a slice of cheese instead of bread? Yes, that's including the butter on top, feels utterly naughty, tastes heavenly!

My cat is of the strong belief you should just lick it directly from the jar, which is a bit too extreme for me, but whenever I open the marmite pot it's a challenge to protect pot, lid and bread from Efraïm while preparing my food at the same time!

I can relate!
We Dutchies had a bit of a scare after Brexit, when suddenly marmite became very scarce, and we had no way of knowing if things would get better for a while. You'll understand my happiness when I found some dusty forgotten pots in a little small-town supermarket!
Thankfully things have gone back to normal on the marmite front

OK, I am a marmite lover. This can be a bit of an issue when you live in the Southern hemisphere, but it is available here (albeit in tiny jars with the wrong name) and my dad can be relied on to give my entire nuclear family a big jar each for Christmas.

So, traditionally, before going low carb, I used to have it with bread and butter. Now I've cut right back on the bread, so I need something else to put it on (and it slides off cucumber). Any low carb suggestions?

I haven't tried it but my husband isn't a fan. (You've got to understand, this is a whole family addiction. ).

When my son was small (possibly before we moved to the Sothern hemisphere) he was very upset when he went to a friend's birthday party and found chocolate spread or nutella instead of marmite in a sandwich. Ugh, mud.

Thanks, I'll give it a try but I put it on record that I've lived in Australia and vegemite does not work for me.
