You’re scared – scared to face the truth. Marmite is a thing of wonder – a good, honest spread in this world of low fat, low carb, slimming, toning, macrobiotical, non-confrontational MUSH that gets passed as toast adornment these days.
Marmite is quite possibly the most disgusting spread or thing on the planet.
Tom. I believe you should see a doctor. There is no reason why a seemingly perfectly sane person like you should enjoy such a thing.
We yanks don't have Marmite or vegemite yet, but my Aussie friends tell me it's GREAT on black toast. Here in the US we have Peanut butter instead, that we spread on bread with jelly and make sandwiches out of.
It would be nice if someone would write a comparative analysis on the differences between Marmite and Vegemite. This stuff tastes like edible tar, but I ingest it anyway on a regular basis.
Catch this: Heated frozen spinach until water is burnt off (in pan with olive oil), chopped almonds, sliced garlic, marmite, milky white cheese (monterey jack in my case- the softest and milkiest). The cheese and marmite are mixed when dish is quite hot, and provide a thick, sticky texture as they melt and thin. It becomes a dish such as one might experience at an obscure Indian resturaunt, in which one chooses the item from the menu, is presented with something which she didn't quite expect (looking either incredibly simple and dull, or so loaded, the base item can no longer be distinguished), then tastes something which she had never dreamed of- odd and excitingly pleasant. An initial expression of cookery absurdism takes on beautiful, lavish meaning. Eats good on a simple piece of bread or cracker.

only english marmite! The Australian and NZ variants are substandard.
Arghhh! Hate it!
You and your lackadaisical tastes can, in the nicest possible sense, bugger off!
Oli – I’ve not doubt that this is the superior of all yeast extracts, though I must say I’ve not tried any of that Vegemite stuff.
No No we have Marmite here as well as Vegimite but our Marmite is NOT the english one. Its far worse.
Mr. Tom, in the nicest possible way, you obviously have a couple of screws loose. :)
If the Australian version of Marmite is even worse… no, no, I can’t imagine how dreadful it could taste. Worse than congealed poo?

Miss Marmoset: You really could not be more wrong.
Nayyyyyyy, Lady Hog of Hedge, I believe it is you who has losteth her marbles.

What are you (sane) peoples’ thoughts on this squeezy Marmite? I am loathe to try it, for fear of disappointment.

vegemite is good, and so is marmite (they taste the same). do the yanks have this culinary delight yet??

Don’t knock congealed poo until you’ve tried it!
Great taste…could never live without it..try putting a teaspoon of it into a bowl of pasta…mmmmmmmm

Those vegemite bastards wouldn't answer my questions.
So... is peanut butter absent in most countries?
i love marmite!!!
There's a place in Derby where you can buy Marmite milkshake. I love Marmite, but hate the sound of the milkshake.

And Marmite.
