Welcome to Gaia! ::

Marmite. Growing up in America I had never heard of the stuff until I went to Spain in high school and our British tour guide nearly cried when he ran out of it. I've never tasted it, but it seems like the kind of stuff you either love, hate, or have never ever heard of. I remembered it recently because I mentioned it to a friend who's from Scotland and his response was, "Yay Marmite!"

And so the endless discussion continues. Marmite. Friend? Foe? Or do you think I'm talking about some kind of small fuzzy mammal?

Vegemite is the way to go! It's pretty much the same thing, just a particular brand in Australia. One of those must try things if you ever visit. On toast, or a sayo cracker its yummy smile

Yeah it looks icky to me...and knowing what it's made of is like...bleh! But I do want to try it sometime.

Yeah, it really doesn't sound very tasty to me >__>

Also, I learned the other day that if you hit Marmite with a spoon, it turns from brown to white (after, like, half an hour, but still).

My ex boyfriend is British, and he absolutely loves the stuff. He used to have marmite sandwiches all the time, and finally I decided to try it to see what it was all about. Probably the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. Tastes like salt and bitter all at once. I suppose if you've grown up with it, it wouldn't be so bad. However, it's like you guys said, it really is one of those things you either love or hate... no middle ground there. Ugh... it was bad... he always used to eat the sandwiches for lunch and then he'd have marmite breath for the next hour. Grossed out. I dunno... his whole family loves it, but I found it to be pretty nasty.

Marmite sounds like an insect to me, perhaps a relative of termites. xd

That being said, I love yeast flakes and spike seasoning on popcorn. heart

If not, it damn well should be. x3

Edit:
What a Marmite may look like.



"TRAINER used MARMITE. Go, MARMITE. MARMITE used TOAST attack. It's super effective!"

I don't think I've ever heard of it before. Now I want to find it just so I can try it =x
I've eaten many odd things, so... It sounds odd, but so does eating bull testicles *shrug*

If I ever go to Australia, someone is buying me vegemite =<

Marmite sounds like... A Pokemon, something used to fix cars, a relative of the marmoset, or a marsupial termite. I can't even think of what a marmoset is right now, just that it's an animal and I think it might have a long tail sweatdrop
