MARMITE..LOVE IT OR HATE IT ??????

[The Crazy Diamond]

Discuss this lovely stuff ...do you love it or hate it ???
I love it and get through a jar each week, great with beans on toast , and gives a kick to mashed spuds ...

[ddebil]

A jar a week??!

That's so wrong.

[my breakfast.]

Its a bit extreme. Its black tar-food that tastes strongly of everything. Its too sweet, salty, bitter, sour and tangy all at once. Its like a tastebud test kit or something. Generally I find it too salty and shy away from it. Still, good on those that like it I guess. Who knows. The guys that make it generate enough income to warrant churning it out.

I've just done a search and clearly some history has been lost: there were previous threads about Marmite, but they are gone. But, as I recall, everybody loved it then. And everybody loves it now. There's nothing quite like it!

never had it, but willing to try anything

(god i feel so dirty right now)

[Damn!t]

...had to look it up on Wikipedia. Nice to know now what that stuff is.
I'd probably hate it, sorry.

[Stephen]

I also looked it up, but I still don't know what it should represent.

It's not Bovril and it's not Vegemite.

[rosm]

I like it. I also use it in pasta sauces, or on a sandwich with cheese.
But a jar a week is not healthy, there is way too much salt in it.

[jambo]

Vegemite.

is the best!

You wouldn't be an Aussie by any chance? I once tried it in Inverness of all places. You're welcome to the stuff

I Googled it. Sounds icky. I am not sure I have ever noticed in the supermarket. Weirdo Brits.
