Marmite: Love? Hate? What the hell?

[Oddplume]

Ah yes, Yeast Extract spread. I believe it was initially a byproduct of brewing. It's a condiment, kinda like peanut butter, or mayo. You don't want to be out of it, especially if you use it regularly. I personally have never tried it though.

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

My grandmother really likes it. I haven't ever tried it, so I can't say whether I like it or not. It sounds kind of gross, but I would like to try it at least once. I don't eat a lot of bread (and therefore, I don't really need spread very often), so I've never tried Nutella, either. >_>  

[Taeryyn]

The fact that it's yeast extract doesn't gross me out, really. A lot vegetarian/vegan foods are made of nutritional yeast.

That said, I don't find many (if any) of them very appetizing. xD  

[YunieCookie]

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).

Marmite? Nah. Never even tried it. As an Aussie I am a loyal and "happy little vegemite!" As a kid mum used to make me "tiger toast" which is where you spread vegemite on your slice of toast then cut a slice of cheese into three or four strips (hence the "tiger" name) then grill it to melt the cheese (although you could have it unmelted if you wanted).Oh, yum. Now I'm craving it. I know what I'll be having for breaky tomorrow morning!

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

That's the name of one of the new 151 pokemon, right? biggrin

Jaft

That's the name of one of the new 151 pokemon, right? biggrin

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!"  

[wakusei]

I know of marmite, but I have never tried it or seen it in person, I think... sweatdrop  

[Lobo-chan]

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
