Marmite - No
Vegemite - No
But on the sweet side the Australian Tim Tams (dark chocolate please) are addictive.

Marmite? Hell nay! Same goes for other stuff (e.g. HP sauce, Bovril, ...), that some Brits seem to love.

When I was a child, I used to love Shipham's Anchovy Paste and a posher equivalent, Patum Peperium, still exists. I find that there is a very strong correlation between those and Marmite - the same people love or hate both, although the ingredients are quite different.

HP Sauce is absolutely outstanding. Marmite I used to be fed as a youngster on toast. I prefer melted cheese on toast with marmite on top then HP Sauce on too. I am British but lived in the US for 16 years. Fried bull testicles at a fry up in the Midwest opened my eyes to certain American foods. Squirrel brains was another - again I am told by certain Americans they are delicious and the best bit.

Each to their own.

Agreed.

My mother is British and lives there.

FWIW HP Sauce = Heinz 57.

Sacrilege!

Put me in the Yay column. Nice thick spread of Marmite on toast with cheese and egg on top.

Nay all the way. No amount of butter can tame that awful taste.

As for marmite. I'll pass. I do however love Miracle whip

In that case you better try "Vegemite"! Yum,yum.(especially on toast!!)Cheers:):)

Marmite will do in a pinch if Vegemite is not available. :D

Geez you've got good taste.^;)

When I was a kid at primary (elementary) school we used to have lamington drives to raise money for the poor. Everyone's Mum would make their own version and we'd go door to door around the area on a Friday afternoon selling them. We got out of school, it was a good cause and we ate plenty. Win, win, win.
