Marmite love it or hate it

[burdock]

Jonalyn asked if I could send some typical English food
so I send her some marmite (along with usual chocolate).

it all arrived and she opened the box and found the marmite and promptly unscrewed the lid and before I could stop her she stuck her finger in it and with the biggest dollop of marmite I've seen put it in her mouth

I wish could had captured my cam coz her face was a picture

I think it safe to say she's going to be a marmite hater

[Northerner]

Awesome

Made me think.. Next time I go I am taking a bunch of huge jars with me - as gifts

Marmite.........love it

[stevewool]

go to the olde sweet shops here and buy double sour sweets then watch there faces they dont seem to come and ask you again for sweets, marmite yuk

[Steve.r]

I love it too.
Reminds me of when my American friend saw me eating it when I was in Saudi. He also took a big dollop on a spoon, thinking it was chocolate............. his face nearly peeled off Needless to say he hated it.....

Years ago, Mark and Lard who were then BBC Radio 1 DJs did a stunt/experiment where they bought a freshly cooked pizza and left it on the floor opposite the BBC studios in Manchester. This was a hang out for tramps and beggers..

If memory serves me correct, it took about 7 minutes before a tramp actually started to eat it.

So, I wonder.. If a big jar of marmite (seal still intact) was left in an area of homeless people.. Would they eat it?

Or would that be just too cruel

Always loved it... and now I miss it Can quite easily polish off 4 rounds of toast with it on.

I was almost put off it for good awhile back. My ex in the UK, knowing I liked marmite sandwiches and also cheese and cucumber thought the lot would go very well together . marmite, cheese & cucumber Don't ever try it.

[Steve.r]

Thats just plain EVIL

Sadly I have none of the ingredients in at the moment to try.

Slightly , BUT ... in deference to the pseudonymn of the member who initiated this thread ... how about "washing down" the Marmite sandwiches with a goodly measure of that other traditional British favourite, Dandelion & Burdock?

[burdock]

Already been told that I have to balut
(think it's payback for the marmite)
may have to drink a few beers first

[Northerner]

I remember the first time I saw balut. t was from a lday selling them out of a bucket! Never mind what they are, I don't fancy buying food from a bucket

[Steve.r]

Ok, how about this then, marmite generously smeared over the top of a nice hot balut ......Mmmmm!!

[nigel]

You Marmite lovers have got to be kidding! I think the reason people buy Marmite is so they can cover kiddys sweets with it, so the kids will never ask for sweets again!

Imagine scooping dirty water from a puddle, then adding cows pooh and stirring it all up! - That's what Marmite tastes like!

While we are on the subject does anybody eat those "Cheerio's" the breakfast cereal? That stuff tastes like...well frankly it tastes like vomit! It really does you try it!

[stevewool]

hate the balut too yak

i like marmite and fishermens freinds and also imps (was they called that) they came in a little plastic container.

im not into buying food from the side of the road, after seeing one of the sellers taking a pee in the middle of the road

[Steve.r]

I [think] you're referring to *'Tic-Tacs' ... small pale-greenish (and/or white) capsule-shaped mints.
