Marmite - Love It Or Hate It?

Some strange people have never heard of Marmite or only know the rather wishy-washy antipodean version (grin). So, for those outside the UK who would like to know more here are some links...

[Jane Pittenger]

Here they are again...the repeating lines. I love marmite

[Dixie Goode]

Other than from the song about a vegemite sandwich, you are not speaking of anything in my world.

[Brian Baptie]

Vegemite for me!!

[Netkonnexion]

@msk1p2 - It is an extract of yeast. It makes a very black thick paste. It is smooth and strong tasting and smelling. It has a sort of deep nearly meaty flavour, but is sort of bitter/sweet. You spread it on bread and butter very thinly. Its pretty strong, pretty interesting and good for you - rich in B vitamins.

[BirdNerd (Sandra M)]

@netkonnexion uh, well now that's different. B vitamins are good. thank you but I'll stick to peanut butter. :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Don't have either Marmite or Vegemite here in Eastern Pa. We are so backwards! Nice shot though.

Great pov. My children used to have it when they were kids.

[alia_801]

Hate it, definitely! (Marmite, that is, not your pic!) :) Nice composition and colours!

[Ruth Lueth]

Had to google Marmite. Didn't find it only Vegemite. Learned this is an extract out of barm or yeast And I like it. Like your POV too

[Eva Needham]

Love it - but use sparingly - it's too strong otherwise - great with cheese!

[Natacha Murphy]

[Kathy A]

Nothing beats vegemite!

[Leslie Manna]

@netkonnexion Thanks for the reply, and the link Damon; I think I'll take a pass on that stuff! LOL That goes for the vegemite too - if it's coming out of a jar and I'm going to spread it, I'd rather have good 'ol peanut butter! hahha. Take good care, Les

[Seth Tan]

An acquired taste...nice shot

[Renee Smith]

It's okay.....don't love it or hate it and it's low in calories!

[summerfield]

are you kidding me? i love marmite. i lived in the sultanate of oman for a few years before coming here and everying there is british. my british roommate always had marmite in our cupboard and made me eat cheese melt sandwich with marmite in it. i even brought a few jars with me when i came here. then i found out it's available here. cool shot, damon.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Being American, I'd not heard of it for most of my life. THen we read about a character eating it in a book called "Battle for the Castle" (kids book) She was English... the character eating it. I bought some and we TRIED to try it. Uh....I touched one finger to the paste and put to my tongue...no way was I eating it. The kids were the same way. and I am pretty darn adventurous and try lots of foods. Now, I'd not be able to eat it because yeast is a no no on my diet anyway.

[Miley]

Love it. Had Vegemite once, it was actually rank. Marmite all the way!...

[Lyn Todd]

Marmite was in the news here today! No longer available in NZ I think - big drama!!!
