Zapfic Monday - A Suspicious Stain

[alonicus]

This post is my response to today's ZapFic Monday prompt in the Freewriters' community. The prompt is STAIN.

Enjoy !

The white T-shirt had a suspicious dark stain on the front. Inspector Smith picked it up on the end of his pen, wondering if he had a murder but no body.

Then he caught the distinctive smell and knew what this was no murder. It was Marmite!

For any of my friends (or anyone else, for that matter !) who reads this and fancies giving it a try, it's really fun and thought provoking. The rules are really simple;

• Your response must be posted within 3 days in the Freewriters Community.
• Please post a link to your entry in the comments section of the prompt post

I wonder what marmite is. Nice play with the topic.

Oh my goodness.... you just have to try it ! It's a yeast extract spread similar to Vegemite or Bovril, but far, far nicer. It's got a sharper maltier taste to it, which I just love, especially when you take the edge off just slightly as it mixes with melted butter on toast or in a jacket potato. My wife hates the stuff, though.

We've got a saying here in the UK that "something is a bit Marmite" when it's something people either totally love or totally hate, but no-one is just "meh" with. 😁

All you described sound alien to me. I only know about jellof rice, soup with swallow and all the foods that make me African. 😂

"something is a bit Marmite" when it's something people either totally love or totally hate

In that case,for me, "jellof rice is a bit marmite."because I love it 😅
