Confusing?
So you can cook your english marmite in a french marmite
But no way can you cook a french marmite in an english marmite
Unless of course your english marmite is in a smaller french marmite
Which you could then place (for whatever cooking reason) in a bigger french marmite

I would love to know where the difference between that french pot and that english recipe stem from.

Marmite was invented by a German chemist Baron Justus von Liebeg from the lees left over after beer had been brewed.
Production started in the British town of Burton-on-Trent, a well known center of beer brewing.
But where the coincidence of marmite, the name of stuff which can be eaten, and marmite a ceramic pot, came from is lost in the fumes of the beer-lees marmite is made from.
But, as it was sold in a simple ceramic pot perhaps an educated person searched no further for the marmite trade name it carries, than the light bulb moment marmite food/marmite pot.
Or, perhaps, it was named marmite to give it a more international " flavour "
Whatever. We can thank prolific beer drinkers for the large amount of lees left
which motivated business people/ chemists to turn the lees into more money.
P.S. (another whatever) there are folk
who believe that both marmite & marmite are uneatable
Regards from Rew.

Nice bit of research and excellent information. Agreed that some people may not like to eat any sort of marmite either. Regards, Robert.

This made me laugh! I like the wordplay and inside-out-ness. I haven't got a clue what you're on about, but that's part of the point of Bonkers Corner. Anyway, English Marmite is disgusting!! I wonder if French Marmite is any better?

PS; A French marmite is not a dish: it is a pot in which you put...whatever sort of dish you prepare. So there the confusion and I simply ask where the difference originates from.
