Hate it.
Although, strangely, the marmite flavour Walkers crisps aren't too awful. Better than the real thing, that is. But then, most crisp flavours aren't anything like the real thing. -------------------- |

I love the way it kicks you in the tastebuds. Not like those sissy flavoured crisps though.

QUOTE (Polocrunch @ Mar 30 2004, 09:53 PM) *Disparaging look at Hobbes* My favourite type of look. Marmite smells gross. So when people eat it, they smell of it. And thus smell gross. It's simple really. And I don't like the crisps either, they are just less gross

We do get Marmite in Oz. We also have Vegemite which is more or less the same thing, but tastes better. Then there's Promite, which I think is American and tastes better than the other two
Hmm, I wonder just how many "mites" there are? and why they are called "mites"? Maybe its really termite juice made into a spread

Its not enough, just a touch. Its not enough. |

I'd rather lick the soles of someone's feet after having walked though a field strewn with cow pats than let marmite anywhere near my mouth.

We don't get marmite in the US. I had to null my vote because of this. However, I believe my right breast is named after marmite and my left is named bovril. I think Fuzzy said it was bovril because it's more meaty.

I like it...that's not too indifferent for you is it?
I eat it on toast, all the time. I live on toast. Therefore I consume alot of marmite. my dad, however, drinks it which to me is just wrong. So very wrong.

And like Lo said, we don't have Marmite. Or Vegemite. Or anything even close to what people have told me they are. Though, you could probably find it in some specialty shops. But it's definitely not common. So, I nulled my vote too. -------------------- I love you in a way that is mystical and eternal and illegal in 20 states.

It's a yeast...thing, Americans. It's a very dark brown, and tastes like somebody mixed some vegetables and yeast and salt into a sort of gunk. Which, more or less, is how it's made. Love the stuff.

The only exposure I've had to marmite or vegemite was at camp, since all the Australians were obsessed with it, and I'm American. I don't remember tasting it, but the smell was... bad... It stunk up our whole cabin, because we had 5 counselors that were Australian, and all their marmite AND vegemite.
 I might be willing to try that promite stuff if I can find it here in the US, but I'm still wary of all mites...  ::nulls vote.::
