I've tried to like it. Each time I do try it I say 'never again'.
What I really hate is when hubby makes himself a marmite butty and leaves the marmite smeared knife of the bread board. His excuse, 'Well I might want another one later, no point using another knife' Grrrr. :rant: Wouldn't enter his head to wash it and use it again later...clean!!!

I don't know who the first don't mind it vote was cast by, but I have cast the second vote there.
:rolleyes:
It all depends on what's in the cupboards and how hungry I am! :lol:
Bovril drink is far nicer than Marmite IMO. :P
Absolutely awful stuff, even the smell turns my tumm, that and whisky!*# no great loss. If it was hot chocolate I may be concerned.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkk
it is absolutely vile.
what the heck is it actually made of? some kind of scrapings of bits of plants that have been rotting for an eternity or is it animal based?????????????8-X:sicky:8-X
Bovril is animal based, marmite is the veggie one, or veggiemite is very similar
it's made of yeast
LOVE IT!!!!!! BTW!!
looooove it!!
marmite is actually the byproduct of making beer!!
and being vegan i'd know about black strap mollasses too.. have a jar of the stuff in the cupboard collecting dust - that is the byproduct of making sugar and has all the goodness of iron and in a lesser form calcium!
mmm marmite.. my 2 year old eats it straight out the jar!! i thought that was *really* weird for a while.. till i found her eating mustard straight out the jar.... :blink:

Yikes, spicy!
That reminds me of a young person I used to work with, with Autism. Who used to eat those huge jars of pickle and anything pickle related if your back was turned for a moment! I remember finding the person in question in the residential home's kitchen one afternoon where they had eaten a family sized jar of pickle onions in one go, washed down with half a bottle of heinz ketchup! :o All with absolute relish (pardon the pun!) it seemed and no watering eyes in sight!
Mhmmmmmmmm, delicious?!

Its surprising that children like such strong flavours when you wouldnt expect it. i remember my nephew eating bombay mix at the age of 1...
i wonder what his nappy was like afterwards... :P :)
and the mind boggles at matthew's mate!!!! he surely must have had more wind that the scottish highlands!! :blink:
8-X Disgusting stuff. Marmite should be banned!!!!
Can we have a smilie with"Marmite out" or "Ban Marmite" please.
With Red1 too, whisky and whiskey Yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Now I do believe HN that you whisky drinkers have difference of opinions about single malts and blended, don't you ;)
My ex-father-in-law used to drink blended, he said there was nothing better, but then again what did he know, he used to have it with cherryade!!!! Huh!!!!
Single, blended or which ever, yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk no no no no
Give me sour milk anyday, as in the marmite advert :rolleyes:

I'm quite surprised the majority like the stuff so far! Ahhhh well, no accounting for taste I 'spose! :) :P
Believe it or not HN Southern Comfort and red lemonade as they serve it
in Dublin :glug:
But I'm afraid to say my biggest weakness a nice cold, served in the correct manner, pint of the Black Stuff :cheers:
Still want to ban MARMITE ;)
Marmite's brill!
Yum!
Was fair upset when it gave me heartburn when I was expecting the little uns, but luckily I can munch away to my hearts content again :thumbs:
Yummm!
Don't bother spreading it on toast - just dunk the toast into the jar or a great dollop of it on the plate !
:D
Thanks HN :cry:
Won't put me off tho 8-X
