I grew up with Vitam-R which is a German version of Marmite/Vegemite. The only way I eat it is spread thinly (!) on buttered bread or toast. I do eat Marmite and Vegemite on occasion, but for me they taste a bit odd and are a bit too salty. Definitely an acquired taste.

You're not supposed to have a heaping helping of marmite, an average portion would not even be half a teaspoon.
