Marmite is a spread for bread or toast, packed with B vitamins. More popular in the UK than the US, I think. Seems to be a "love it" or "hate it" kind of stuff. I see mention of it occasionally, but I've never tried it. Anyone else? Edit: Quite a bit of interesting info in the Amazon blurb. www.dailymail.co.uk/health/art...-stress-anxiety.html www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00886I...BRTT8VAZ2X3TPQYSN0K3 Serious about crackers | ||

I have some in the pantry. It's an acquired taste. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind." -Bomber Harris | |||

It is similar to Vegemite, which you can get in a sandwich from a man in Brussels. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I kind of like it. I was introduced to the concept as a kid at summer camp. I had an Australian cabin counselor that brought a bunch of Vegemite and let us try it. | |||

For B vitamins, I prefer brewer's yeast or nutritional yeast on popcorn. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, pilot and author, lost on mission, July 1944, Med Theatre. | |||

Ditto. Mrs.BurtonRW and I were enjoying a beautiful sunset over Kata Tjuta in the Red Center with a picnic dinner of sorts. We happened to have been provided some Vegemite. I was wise enough to apply a small, but tasteable amount to a piece of bread. She spread quite a bit more on hers. She still accuses me of "cheating" on that one, although I claim it was a stroke of foresight. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

I put it in the category of "if it helps you live longer, why would you want to if you have to eat this stuff?". _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Well said. A doc and a couple rad techs offered to let me sample. I knew I was being punk'd when I saw about 10 sets of eyes watching me take a tiny, tiny taste from the tip of a knife. If I had cut my tongue it wouldn't have been any more unpleasant. There is nothing but time that will remove that taste. Lots of time..... You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I actually like Vegemite quite a bit. But it is an quirky taste preference....like anchovies maybe ? I will have to try marmite. "Crom is strong!

More like a bunch of 12 year olds nagging him about the weird brown stuff he put on his toast every morning that no one had ever heard of until he finally gave up. | |||

If you like sweet spreads, try "cookie butter." It's hard little northern European gingerbread-ey cookies (called Speculoos) ground up with butter and sugar until it's the consistency of peanut butter. | |||

I always describe the taste as "earthy squirrel". _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

I prefer Vegemite over Marmite, which seems a little too oily or something. My favorite breakfast is a toasted everything bagel. butter, Vegemite and thin slices of sharp cheddar. -- When you rest your steak and your whiskey upon the table you have made, you feel pretty goddamn tall for keeping those treats off the ground. | |||
