Marmite

The other day, I made some Marmite-on-bread (with butter, of course) for Jason, out of one of the otherwise-useless bread-ends (not that all bread-ends are useless, but this one was particularly puny). Being an American, Jason didn't like it (not surprisingly). I believe "gross" was the word he used ;). Marmite is quite popular in Britain, but most Americans are appalled by it, for some reason.

Marmite is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it type of food. I fall into the former category while Jason falls into the latter. But, come on, it's a by-product of beer sludge — what's not to like? <g>

  1. You’re gross, Alex.
    Eating marmite is something akin to making a paste out of a (very salty) dead rodent and spreading it on your bread.
    Not to offend you or your parents, of course, but that stuff is all kinds of gross.

  2. Pay no attention to those comments. I’m American, born and raised, and I think Marmite is wonderful! I love it on buttered toast, bagels, sandwiches. I love Vegemite, too. My local grocery store has Marmite, and I can find Vegemite at the local World Market.
