Marmite. Love it or Hate it?

Erm... Hate.

Despise it.

Hate it

I picked "What is Marmite?"

Nooooooos......

:(

But it's so nice.

Love it... trouble is I have a history of yeast sensitivity in the family :$

I pity you. Just keep some anti-biotics on you at all times and you'll be fine.

I got a funny feeling this thread is gonna end up in forum 7.

Marmite. Love it or Hate it?
The answer, as always, is Vegemite.

I picked "What is Marmite?"I asked a Brit that once, and she said, "It's kind of like Bovril (sp.?) except vegetarian." This would have been more helpful if I had an idea what Bovril was.

We shall see. As long as it stays on topic I suppose.

Not only is it the greatest food known to man, if enough were exported to the Middle East it would solve the Arab-Israeli conflict (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19991219/ai_n14266074)

Well thanks, I guess. The article explains what Bovril is like this way: " It can also be used as a flavouring for soups, stews or porridge, or spread on bread, especially toast, rather like Marmite."
Are Bovril and Marmite sort of like Vegemite?

Vegemite is a cheap ausie copy

Only in the absence of real Vegemite. But if that is absence, then god help us all.

OK, so Bovril and Marmite are better than Vegemite.
This would help more, if I knew what Vegemite was.

Wiki it

Is it going to tell me that Vegemite is kind of like Marmite and Bovril?

Probably

I really hate Bovril and Marmite. It's like drinking vomit-flavoured tar.

Ah... thank you at last for giving me a non-self-referential description!

Well, that description is basicly it. Some people do like it though, but I have no idea why. :confused:

It's lovely. Marmite tastes of.... well... um.... I geuss the only way to describe it is to say marmite taste's like marmite.

Vegemite is a yeast spread chock full of folic acid, and is tasty spread thin with butter on saltines.

Interesting fact... marmite is so heavenly that if Catholicism wasn't a load of big hairy balls the Communion wafer would taste of it.

Yeast like in yeast infection? Tasty indeed.

Well, I for one welcome our new vomit-flavored yeasty overlords....

I'm an Amarmitist. It doesn't exist, it never existed, and anyone who says it exists is a liar.
That said, I hate it anyway. Hate, hate, disbelieve, hate.

Marmite. Love it or Hate it?

never had it.

Never had it. But since I have previously poured soy sauce into a glass and drank it, I think it's safe to say I would, in fact, like marmite.

It fucking rules.

Basically, it tastes like really salty margarine.

Peanut butter. *nod*

What is it? I seriously have no clue.

According to Wikipedia, it's got umami which I'm in favour of.

Marmite is made of dead babies, pubic hair, and old Chinese newpapers. Absolutely disgusting substance.

Love it.

I want to have that man's babies.

It fucking rules.

QFT

More should be done to teach the infidels about the glories of Marmite. If they resist, they must surely be witches. And we all know what that means...

But given the area, we'd be facing the start of the marmite wars.:(

I am not sure if the current marmite adverts with Paddington are more likely to reduce sales or raise them - they seem to give the message that eating marmite leads to instant projectile vomiting for most people.

Marmite. The turd of bread spreads. Yuck!

I think originally it was a by product of brewing - you certainly used to get Guinness Yeast Extract which was similar.

I've never actually had it. I'm sitting on the fence and I'm afraid to get off it.

*Laughs, waiting to see if any blood is spilt*

Marmite, nastiness epitomized! Why the fuck should I care, though?:confused:

I've never had it but I recently tried some Walker's Marmite-flavoured chips (chips, crisps, whatever) just for shits and giggles and they were - surprise - actually quite delicious.

*falls off fence*
Now, if you were on the fence, and I'm on the side where marmite is considered really bad - did you fall onto the other side or slid down to ours?

Peanut butter. *nod*

Peanut Butter and marmite sandwiches. :eek:

Anyway, this thread is clearly flawed. This can't be the Ultimate Question, as it does not fit the Answer.

That is, Forty-Two, of course. Shame on you for having to highlight this to find that out!

The ultimate question would then be "How many marmite sandwiches make up a fatal dosis?"
