Marmite Ripple Ice Cream
I was reminded of this by an apparently serious promotion of a breakfast of baked beans on Weetabix.
So how would you pitch your novel combination? Eg 'Soft, sweet and creamy meets the ultimate salty punch! The taste sensation collision you've been waiting for!'

When we were dating my husband made vanilla and chilli ice cream for a dinner party (with chilli flakes I think) and it was fabulous:
Spoon in the cold and creamy vanilla icecream, and savour the sensation as slowly the temperature rises. Reach for another spoonful of cold creaminess and tame the flames until the wave of heat hits again, and spoon in another mouthful...when you reach the bottom of the tub you'll be begging for more.
One of my favorite treats: vanilla ice cream with chunky peanut butter. "Smooth meets crunchy. Bean meets nut. Blend. Enjoy."
That sounds dreadful.
In spite of the above eccentricity, I could only possibly eat Weetabix and baked beans if someone held a gun to my head.
There is an oat version https://www.weetabix.co.uk/our-products/oatibix/weetabix-oatibix-classic/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgomBBhDXARIsAFNyUqOqJczpQr6duUlpNgWmsEZJe_EKbW7nl0w3Z48WWt5m0G-pJT6LrDIaAhfFEALw_wcB, the texture is very different to a rice cake. If you soak oatabix in milk they start to disintegrate and resemble porridge.
We used to do that with shredded wheat when we were little. Heat the milk, then pour the hot milk over the shredded wheat. And shovel on lots of sugar, of course.
I sometimes wonder how I survived to the ripe old age I've reached. Must be the healing properties of Weetabix and heavy cream.
If their advertising had been honest, it would have been something like:
Get set up for the day by turning something crunchy into a bowl of grey sludge!
It looks like something to clean soap scum off tile.
And that is what it tastes like. Unless you sprinkle on lots of brown sugar and then add warm milk. Just the thing for cold winter mornings - I am surprised that Canadians have never got it!
Shudder. How could you keep it if you lived somewhere warm?
They've been my standard breakfast for as long as I can remember. Three of the things, arranged in a triangle so they fit in the bottom of my bowl, with milk poured over. You've got to eat them fairly quickly, otherwise they turn into a sort of concretey sludge.
Amazon is my current source, ever since Trader Joe stopped stocking them. But the price on Amazon has very strange fluctuations of a factor of 2 or so, which doesn't fill me with confidence for the long-term future.
Chocolate + salt + carbs = a very craveworthy convo, especially for many women, especially on a monthly basis. Helpful stuff.
Thx for the new-to-me word "morish".
@Leorning Cniht three Weetabix? Did you take the advertisements seriously? (I can find the Shredded Wheat versions and references to Weetabix adverts that suggested it was impossible to eat three.)
You can buy chocolate covered pretzels. I'm unconvinced.
Marmite is stronger tasting and saltier than miso paste. (I just taste tested miso to remind myself). Marmite is very dark brown smooth and sticky ...and delicious in my opinion. For me the jury is still out on miso paste... I have a tub in the fridge for use in vegan cooking as a substitute cheese flavouring, but I am unconvinced.
I can't actually remember ever seeing a Weetabix advert, although I'm sure I must have.done at some point. I went through a phase of eating four, when I was a growing teenager, but that's both too much food now, and also hard to fit in a bowl. Two leaves me hungry.
Does the phrase "have you had your Weetabix" ring a bell?
We use miso once a year at our annual New Year's Day shindig. We always make a pot of blackeye peas, due to the mysterious properties thereof effecting good luck throughout the year if consumed on the first day thereof. But the classic blackeye peas recipe with hambone is of course not acceptable to present to our vegan/vegetarian friends, so we make a small pot using miso as the umami flavor instead of ham. It works admirably well.
Dlet would eat 3 Weet Bix (our equivalent) without blinking an eye. Buying the boxes he'd get through in a week kept me working at least 5 years longer than I'd intended.
Ha! This resonates, @Gee D Just last night I told my 19 year old son, known on these boards as The Giraffe, that I could not afford for him to maintain his no-to-low carb craze for more than two or three days a week. The amount of meat he seems to need, because he easts almost non-stop and is on the skinny side of slim, is astronomical (and can't be good for him or the planet, never mind my purse). I told him he was welcome to go shopping himself....
"I can't see anything wrong with your hip, but it might be happier if it didn't have to carry around quite so much of you".
She then handed me a leaflet headed 'The Weetabix Diet'. See if you can guess what the main component was in it.
It did work for a time, but it was hard work.
Quite. He was just starting to do that last term, but of course this term the university, in line with the Scottish Government's rules, has put all learning online and told them not to come back except in certain specific circumstances. I don't think he was away long enough, and even when he was he often phoned me to ask what he should eat that evening - having run out of ideas.
"Same think we eat every night, Pinky".
If you know how to make three things, you rotate through three things...
Broccoli. Filling, cheap, convenient (if bought frozen).
What? He's never had a broccoli and Swiss omelet? Oh, the horror!
At least until he left home, he was not subjected to a breakfast like that.
We have broccoli from time to time, but brussel sprouts are on the banned list.
This thread seems to have evolved into more of a "weird food combo" discussion, so it's better suited to Heaven.
Haloes on, and off we go!
Thank you.

My normal eating 2 weetabix in parallel, 3rd weetabix crushed in the gaps to form a porridge when milk is added (or coco-pops).
I will have to try it that way, Weetabix fan that I am. Although I think marmite would desecrate it.
Weetabix with butter and marmalade / jam was last tried in the 197somethings at a Christian Easter camp. It wouldn't go down then and I won’t be repeating the experience.
But with double cream? Now There is a thought
Uses for Oatibix @Nenya ?
Find a weetabix cake recipe and substitute?
And I am most certainly about to try the marmite popcorn tonight! Thank you!
