Been a while since we had a Marmite thread - and now there's a new version....

Marmite is truly one of those things you have to aquire a taste for--I rank it right up there with ....... Well--its on its on level actually. The fact that they combined it with the guiness label is unsettling since Guiness tastes soooo good and Marmite tastes like stuff removed from the bottom of a sanitation workers shoe....

For the uninitiated Marmite is a yeast extract spread. Best served on thick white bread lightly toated, or as part of a cheese and marmite sandwich.
It is an aquired taste - i love the stuff.
There is a similar Australian concoction called vegemite - it's similar, but not as nice IMHO
Bought a jar of guinness marmite tonight - i'll report once it's been opened.

Marmite is by-product of beer brewing, so it can't be all bad.
It's a yeast extract, so it's got to be good for you as well.
People who say they can't stand the stuff are most likely lemon sucking killjoys who've never enjoyed a moment of sensual sybaritic joy in the form of early morning hangover Marmite on heavily buttered toast...
Of course, Vegemite is miles better, even if it is Australian...

Well I think I had better put the Aussie view..........
Marmite is a very poor imitation of the greatest breakfast spread ever invented VEGEMITE.
Although there is a story going around that in the late 1920's Vegemite changed its name for a short period to PARWILL (sp) so that they could advertise that "marmite but parwill".
Horrifying news recently was that our trans-Pacific cousins have banned Vegemite from the US of A as its label now breaches their regulations - so any dinkum Aussie travelling there can't even take a jar into the country.
It must be a marmite conspiracy.

Pm me your address and ill ill send you some over, you may never speak to me again if you do actually taste it.
you sit in two camps with Marmite
love it or hate it and im firmly in the 2nd one. I now use it to punish my kids :-) :-) :-)
They have over the last few years actually marketed is as somthing people hate, and have produced some of the best adverts using this fact

This stuff almost sounds like a Commonwealth version of SPAM, at least as far as either being loved or hated.
I thought it might be distantly related to Vegemite. Not that I've ever tasted that either, but there was a hit song in my youth from a group called Men at Work that had the line, "She gave me a Vegemite sandwich. "

I love SPAM- the eating kind.
I think the pig snouts are the secret ingredient that makes it taste so good. :-)

Not sure about this one. A Guinness and Marmite combo sounds like something a boozed up squaddie would attempt on a Saturday night.

Popular with cats too! Whenever I used to have some of the original I would have to bribe at least one of them to leave me alone.
I've yet to see the Guinness version, let alone taste it.
