Marmite.Yay or nay ?
A savoury spread made from yeast extract - a waste product of the brewing industry - Marmite has also entered the English language as a word to describe something which attracts extremes of opinion but rarely anything in between.
Either you loath it or you love it [redacted OMNI/PR political characterization]
I'm deffo in the ^ camp ( for Marmite ! )

FWIW - my husband tried it in Waikiki and couldn't get back to our room fast enough to brush his teeth to get the taste out of his mouth.

I'll rank them in order of my preference.
1. Marmite
2. Vegemite
3. Bovril
Fans of Marmite have great brand loyalty.I know for a fact Elton John possesses one of these.

Yes.It's why I used the term English language.
I might add the My Flyertalk logo at the top of this page bears an uncanny resemblance to a jar of Marmite.

I don't get the hate for marmite. It's delicious thinly spread on toast. I don't think there is any other way to eat it.

I don't particularly like marmite but bizarrely love twiglets.
In fact, marmite being in the news over the last few days has resulted in me buying several bags of twiglets this week.

I've tried it, and I just don't like it.
It's reputedly an acquired taste. Too many other foods out there that I love for me to repeatedly try to eat something I don't like.
