Marmite, love it or hate it?

[buddymyfriend]

Just having some breakfast for I take my ass to the local job centre, god I love that place! Fulla chavs and young mums lookin for a new daddy. Anywho, I just had marmite on toast (same as Vegimite for you aussies n kiwis) washed down with a mug of coffee. So I was wondering who else loves marmite, coz it's a love/hate thing. Personally I can't get enough of the stuff, slap a load over some golden toast, jobs a goodun. Whereas my gf HAS to have it dabbed on. So what's your take on marmite/vegimite. While on the subject vegimite sucks, get the reaaaaaaaal stuff, live a little!

Peace

[Stormhix]

[souldistortion]

I hate it. But then again, the only time i've tried it was on its own with a desert spoon.

Ahhh its no good like that, quite an overpowering taste. Spread it thinly on some toast and Im sure you wont be dissapointed. If ya really like it, slam it on like marg!Mmmm:D

Right on Azure.

And LIP, im guessing your in your mid to early twenties, how can you have lived this long without even trying the glory that is Marmite? You deserve it!!!

[cambam]

Must admit, when I was a bairn, I got force-fed a table spoon of it, never been able to get away with it since.

Another thing I solomnly detest, Garlic Sauce.

That is rank with an capital BLEUUURRGGGHHH.

how come uk slang makes no sense? "slap a load over some golden toast, jobs a goodun."

who says golden toast and what does it have to do with a job? lol

Haha.

Golden toast is a nice browny yellow colour, not under done, not too crispy neither, and lashings of butter, make that toast a hot, soogy piece of heaven.

Mmmm I want some now.


Jobs a good un = well done, that is fantastic. Self-congratulations. Us Brits do that a lot.

my step dad is australian. he brought some vegemite over with him once, all i have to say about that stuff, FUNK! wasn't quite for me. on the contrary, the first time he ever had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich was his first visit here. needless to say, he feels the same way about pb an j as i do about vegemite!

[Professor Dan K.]

ive never heard of marmite, that is a really goofy name though i must say hahah, what does it taste like?

Horrible salty stuff. Or is that Cod Liver Oil?

[MastaChronic]

wth is marmite?

[TheSmokingMonkey]

Mmmm best spread ever... Love it! I've been told that it's not a common product in America? They don't know what they're missing!

Yeah... WTF is either one?

:confused:

[halo]

What is marmite and or vegemite?

I'm guessing its something similar to jelly or jam?

[MastaChronic]

maybe its similar to marmalade?

[OniEhtRedrum781]

I'd never heard of Marmite until today...

Meh, the more you know...

[4gan2ja0]

yeah never heard of it, haha sould distortion, that was fucking funny, might as well call it bajinkle

[Dro_Princess]

I have heard of it but have never seen it or tried it. I love my pb&j's with strawberry jelly and crunchy peanut butter I want one now.

im afraid you've got this backwards. im rather anti-American and would prefer to live in Europe as i see any and all European races as superior to us fat ass Americans. im not fat though. i just thought it was a weird name for a spread. plain and simple lol


yeah never heard of it, haha sould distortion, that was fucking funny, might as well call it bajinkle

my thoughts exactly. MARMITE? its almost as though the only requirements for food names in Europe is that they can be phonetically pronounced

[MastaChronic]

hey, would you like some bajinkle on your biscuit? i am anti-american too, i hate myself, and pretty much everyone else for that matter

[tootsie roll]

I've heard that it's gritty and icky. Just something American tastebuds wouldn't get along with.
My guess would be some would like it, most wouldn't.

[MastaChronic]

hmm, i say someone order some off the internet and tell us how it tastes

maybe marmite is made from marmotts?

[moorephened]

I have never met an American who enjoyed Vegemite. None at all. Zero.

Once in my marketing class my professor had us study the failed attempt to sell vegemite to the American market. At the end of the lecture he had us all try the spread on toast.

At the risk of offending my friends "across the pond" and "down under" it was the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten that was meant for human consumption.

To my fellow Yankees who have likely never tried it: Take your own feces and saturate them with salt, then add more salt. What you have is a spread with the same color (for my friends who speak the Queen's English "colour"), texture, smell and taste as vegemite. Except Vegemite is saltier.

I have lived in China, India, and Africa and have eaten the strangest and most exotic of foods. To this day vegemite ranks as my least favorite.

[birdgirl73]

I gotta admit, I'm an American, albeit a well-traveled one with an open mind about foods. I've tried both Marmite and Vegemite, and they're not tastes I will ever like. There's something totally unfamiliar to the American palate about a strong, salty brewer's yeast paste. It's not a taste we're raised on, and I'm firmly convinced it's one you need early exposure to. Give me peanut butter and jelly or just some nice butter on my bread. You Brits and Aussies can keep your yeasty spreads.

[faithlessxxx]

.

Mmm, delicious.
And it's a French word, meaning compott or reduction or an old-fashioned cooking pot and actually pronounced marrr -mee. I bet not an Englishman here knew that...

.

[CJBHM52]

never had marmite but if its anything like vegemite i dont wanna try it. no offense, but that stuff is disgusting. i even tried to like it. its impossible. but on the other hand, aussies looked at me like i was a whacko for the pbj. i couldnt believe it when they had never had or even heard of a pbj. to each their own i guess. but you know, vegemite is the worlds richest known source of vitamin b. i think.

[MastaChronic]

feces eh? maybe its made out of salty marmott feces

[moorephened]

I don't want this to be interpreted as "Americans don't respect the culture and foods of the British Empire" or something like that.

It's just that I, personaly, would rather be punched square in my face than eat your spreads.

:D

Hereâ??s to the continued friendship and alliance between the Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, Canucks, and Yanks!

[cambam]

As Buddy said, it is something you either LOVE or HATE. There is NO middle ground with Marmite.

Its horrible, so I hate it.

[moorephened]

^So it's not just North Americans who don't eat it?

[buddymyfriend]

As i stated it is an acquired taste and tbh I know more people that hate it than love it. The only thing I can think to compare it to would be twiglets.Mmm so goooooooooood!

Peace

Buddy

[moorephened]

What are twiglets, thats somthing we don't have over here.

[cambam]

Taste like forest twigs, got the texture too. But I still find the taste mildly addictive in a somewhat unorderly fashion.

Here's a British food that is FREAKING DELICIOUS that is too uncommon in the US - digestive biscuits. The Hobnobs are my favorite but you know which ones I mean... McVitie's or whatever it is. The milk chocolatey ones.

I know exactly what you mean. My favourites are milk chocolate hobnobs with caramel. That with a nice cold glass of milk. Pure heaven.
