Apparently you either love it or loathe it.

Anyone here got any strong feelings about it?

Hideous stuff. However, when patients are low in sodium, and have a naso-gastric tube in place , is a cheap and effective way of improving their sodium levels as you can dilute it and bung it down the tube straight to the stomach.

Thats the thing about Marmite , you either LOVE it or HATE it. I HATE it. My kids used to eat loads of it when they were tinies (Marmite soldiers) but now they won't touch it.!

[andyjevs]

I would use it to tarmac roads with......disgusting stuff and on par with the equally disgusting peanut butter

Urggggghhhhh

[valsuey]

I forgot about Peanut Butter ! Yuk! How do people eat the stuff, strange really I love Peanuts- hate Peanut Butter.
Poor loopyc, the Marmite factory must be awful you have my sympathy. We used to have a crisp factory but that was nice smell.

[flip-flop]

Would struggle to live without it - I'm sure the amount I eat of the stuff can't be good for you, but it is simply gorgeous.

i love marmite on a chicken sandwich with plenty of butter!

[irisred]

I love it!! Can (and do) eat it with a spoon, however, it really gives me bad skin problems. If you have problems with fungal infections (ie athletes foot etc) then Marmite is best avoided sadly!

[flaming]

I wouln't eat M until I got married. My ex requested it be included in the shopping. I tried it a few times and was quickly converted to M on toast and Ryvita. I had to lay off yeast a couple of years back, but I eat it again occasionally, spread sparingly. Is it on sale in foreign parts, I wonder, not just for ex-pats but do other nations take to it?

[Narolines]

BLRRRRRRGGGGTTTHHHHHH........!!!! I feel ill just thinking about it........

[gerkin]

Marmite ruined my f****ng life !

Years ago (in the Cold War age) we sent a jar of Marmite, amongst other food products to a Russian contact living in Moscow who has since become a good frien when food was in short supply there.. We were trying to introduce him to some of the quintessentially aspects of British life. He and his family were absolutely bemused by it. They weren't sure whether they were supposed to eat it or whether it was some kind of glue (since sellotape was unotainable in the Soviet Union at the time !), . I don't think they ever found the courage to try it and when he subsequently visited us in England and actually saw it on our breakfast table, only then did he truly believe that it was a "real" food and that we hadn't been trying to poison them all ! We have often laughed about it since. Peanut butter was another product that they also found totally mystifying.
