1. I'll take the bait...

Watizzit?

[On the Road]

2. Not too Bad, but an Acquired Taste

kind of like miso. I had marmite on my list for years before being offered some this summer at a beach house by a Brit.

3. Same as Vegemite?

I've always wondered that.

[rooboy]

4. Marmite's awful...

vegemite is better...
promite is my favorite.

15. No

No no no... no comparison! Marmite is the real thing. Goes well with everything from cheese to peanut butter.

[Nihil]

5. It's one of those things ...

... that (if you've tried it) you either love or hate - very little
middle ground in the experience!

I'll admit that I've been hooked on the stuff from an early age so
I'm biased but if you like savoury spreads, give it a go. If you
only like sweet things, don't even bother.

Yum!

6. It's grass mulch

taken off the blade of your lawn mower, and bottled.

Trust me on this. :D

7. God, I love it so

On toast, in a sandwich... just make sure you use plenty of butter or margerine with it. Is there anything better than hot toast, butter melting into it, liberally smeared with Marmite?



Of course I fully understand that it makes some people want to vomit.

8. I'll bet you love lutfisk and limburger, too.

:hi:

[Kellanved]

9. love it

It's a salty yeast extract; a by-product of beer and supposedly terribly healthy.

However I prefer the equivalent Vitam-R.

[alfredo]

10. Love it almost as much as Nutella.

11. This stuff came from...

the other end of the island that gave us haggis. That says something.

You will note the madness of the Marmite lovers:

I like the story about how they had to pull the ad with Jerri Hall saying: "You don't eat it, you spread it."

12. Lovely stuff

Mind you I've even aquired a taste for marmite flavoured crisps. Fantastic!

13. My Kiwi friend brought some over

She had been raving about it and I had to try really hard not to gag when I tried some on toast.

No thank you.

[Zero Gravitas]

14. mmmm... Marmite

salty yeast extracty nectar of the gods!

16. Nutella rules - marmite is just nasty, sorry!
