Do you love marmite, if yes for the love of God how & why?

Question

Right, I have had a really bad flu since Sunday *coughs* poor me! Anyway, I felt a little bit better this morning and was watching a documentary on channel 4 (UK) about marmite launching a squeezy bottle. Having regained my appetite slightly I thought 'isn't it strange that in all my 20 years on this planet I haven't tasted that stuff & found out whether I love it or hate it! I looked suprisingly choclatie *yum* so I asked one of my roomates to buy it when she was out shopping. I opened it and thus began my five minutes of living hell!!! The fact that the smell nearly knocked me out should have been my warning to run far away from that pot of evil goo, but no, I decided it must taste different than it smells or it would have one of those little toxic signs with a skull & cross bones on the outside That was not the case, uuuuuck! The disgusting taste won't go away, it's more suitable for car engines than human consumption! You marmite lovers explain youselves, how does it taste to you?

Answer 1

marmite is a spread made from the yeast that is a by-product of the brewing industry. i can only imagine how horrible it must be. your story made me laugh my coffee out of my nose LOL

Answer 2

I do like marmite on occasion, but rarely indulge my shameful little secret. If you want to get a taste for it (and it is an acquired taste), as it's sooo healthy, here's what to do. It's how I was first able to stomach it, and it can become rather addictive.

Make some toast, and whilst it's hot slather it in lots of real butter, so it goes all melty and yummy. Then, get the tiniest bit of marmite on the tip of your knife, and spread it VERY sparsely all over. It doesn't matter if there's the odd bit of toast without it, but where there is marmite, it should be so thin you couldn't scrape it off if you tried. The sweetness of the butter should temper the pungent flavour of marmite, and I must warn you that you could become addicted once you try it like this. So don't hold me responsible if you can't stop eating the evil black gunge! It's anti-social, smelly, and I in no way endorse the use of Marmite or Marmite-related products!

Answer 3

It's got a kind of savory/salty taste...and although I grew up with it...it's an aquired taste for some. I like it mixed with a little spread, on bread and toasted. Yum. Love the stuff. But I've been eating it since I was a little kid....and I'm 45 now. Marmite and cheese sandwich...fabulous. But a little goes a long way.

Answer 4

I prefer Bovril, it's a meaty version of the dreaded Marmite.

Answer 5

Love it on hot buttered toast, with a cup of tea! Some New Zealanders introduced me to it.

Answer 7

I can't stand the stuff, I know people that love it though. You need to spread it very lightly, or so they say.

Answer 8

Love it. But go easy on it as its very strong.

I like the saltiness of it.

Answer 9

you only need a really thin scraping on hot buttered toast, it is lovely because it is so savoury!
