I also tried it on a bagel with cream cheese.
What on Earth is a bagel? And why on Earth would you trust a piece of bread with a ring in it? What is it, a doughnut or a sandwich?
Tequila, I refuse to believe that the bagel hasn't yet made it to Lancashire. I was eating them in Yorkshire 15 years ago...
They are very nice. You can buy them in every supermarket, try the raisin and cinnamon ones toasted with butter.

They are commonplace in most cafés and supermarkets in Lancashire. I still can't see the point of them though.
This is typical Northern stubbornness coming out again…
And… raisins?! ! In bread?! !

So, hyperlexian, was my advice best?
If you like hearty food, you'd really like an Irish breakfast (very popular in Northern Ireland too) and champ.
I keep extolling the pleasures of white pudding in England but it hasn't caught on here. It's like black pudding but stronger. Common in Scotland and Ireland though. Basically, it's black pudding without the blood and with stronger spices.

which advice? the advice to never eat it again? no, because i really like it a lot!! ! or to put it on toast? didn't love it on white toast. or the advice to spread thinly? i definitely spread it too thick, as it was sticky and hard to spread evenly.
i'm going to invent some new flavour combinations to try next time also!
i think your version of the sausage sounds edible... black pudding could be good for my palate with the exclusion of the blood.

Did you understand my advice about not spreading it on too thickly though, as it would become dominating and oppressive? Because all I can taste when it's too thick is salt and spice and a sludgey taste.
Having said that, I'm not the world's biggest fan of Marmite.
I take it you've seen the advertising slogan of Marmite? "You either love it or you hate it"? Well, it's certainly worked on you.
Myself, I don't really like the stuff. I'd rather have something traditional, like cheese and onion on toast or even steak - yes, i have eaten that for breakfast. Lunacies will never cease.

Fair enough, but most people in the UK would never think of doing that. Yours would definitely be a minority sport.

Usually, an Irish breakfast includes both white and black pudding. This Irish breakfast below is comprised of: black pudding; white pudding; fried egg; sausage; fried tomato and bacon.
Looks sort of red and greyish on this photo - but then I am horribly colour-blind. I definitely prefer the white over the black. In fact, I love being in NI because I can get white whenever I like. Yum!
The only place that sells white pudding that I know of is the Morrisons in Preston, which we almost never visit.

that breakfast makes me lol. it seems like it is meat, meat, meat, meat, egg, token veggie.
i find it fun to invent new foods and food combinations!! ! now that i know the basics of Marmite, the possibilities are only limited by my imagination. i'd like to try more combinations with sweet flavours.
yes, i understood that advice about spreading it thinly, but in reality it was harder than i thought it would be.

bagels are very common in canada for a packed lunch.

Good old Ireland, I say. I'm not eating a breakfast of leaves, thank you.

I could never eat it these days due to my gastric band, but Danish rugbrød did a lot for me.

Hot cross buns?
Eccles cakes?
Lardy bread?
Chorley cakes?
Sad cakes?
Welsh cakes?
I do prefer welsh cakes over bagels though. Nom.

Now, you see, as a naturally-bigoted Northerner (Eddie Booth out of Love Thy Neighbour has nothing on me) I would never eat those breads, and in any instance such as when I've been exposed to them I've found them all universally disgusting.
