The Great Debates...

[beale]

..after taking part in God v Atheist and Monarchy v Republicans debates today I've decided to ask the biggy..

Who likes Marmite?

 

 

[Dick Cheese]

I do, who could resist Dick Cheese & Marmite?

[mully]

Ican't stand it- sorry. 

[Richard Head]

I like to smear it all over my body & let my dog lick it off. It's also quite nice on toast.

[dinsdale]

You cant like marmite,       You either Love it or you hate it

I love it myself

[Kay]

On toast mmmm.

[Jules001]

[andy hughes]

Hate it - but I loved the 'love / hate' ad. campaign.

I rolled up at your question - you have a good sense of humour!

 

I only like a slither of marmite, on lightly toasted bread & butter.

[Snappy]

i love it!So does my boyfriend,he lives on it at uni!Cheese+marmite sandwiches!

[zgma]

Since I am in the US and had never heard of Marmite before using AB, I can't answer the question but I'm really curious about Marmite now.  Can anyone describe the taste for me?

 

Thanks!

[trudileach]

I love it... smeared on apple - mmmmmmmmmm!

[Philtaz]

Marmite is absolutely minging!  Euch!

 

zgma,

Marmite is a yeast extract, brown in colour with the consistency of a paste.  It is like a very salty beefy flavoured spread.

To me it tastes like pure salt.

[cheyenne]

MARMITE fantastic.made from yeast extract and veggie friendly.vegemite is just australian for marmite.whats the american version called zgma!!

[stoo_pid]

Well, I wouldn't say they're entirely the same.  Every Aussie & Kiwi I know proudly claims that Vegemite is much stronger than Marmite (of course!).  But I find it's the other way round - which is actually why I prefer it.  I will eat Marmite but not as eagerly.

Here's very amusing H2G2 entry on Vegemite:

[cheyenne]

i agree with you stoo_pid,marmite does taste stronger but i think the ingredients are almost the same.

[Shipstabber]

I'm bucking the love it/hate it trend.

 

I think it's okay.

 

I prefer Bovril though.

I hate it, my fiancee loves it.  I'm distraught tho...our son clearly takes after his father...he LOVES it!   A life of inescapable marmite sandwiches/on toast etc ahead then.......

[bernardo]

I like it.  All normal people like it.  Those who don't like it are intrinsically evil and will go to Bournemouth forever when they die unless they repent.
