I neither love or hate marmite.

I quite like it sometimes, but am not a huge fan.

Am I alone in this?

Marmite is not a must-have. I enjoy it very much when I do decide I want some, though. It is quite unique; Bovril and vegemite don't even approach.

Nah, but I don't the tagline "you either vaguely like it or totally hate it" would prove as effective.

Oi tink yer roit. No one I know is quite as enthusiastic about it as the people I know who revile it are, um, reviling about it.

You're the same as me then. Don't mention it to John Scott though. He loathes it with quite an animated - albeit entertaining - passion.

I do actually like to cook with it as it makes a great stock.

I believe charliemouse absolutly adores marmite and would quite happily suck it out of the pot with a straw - in fact I recall a conversation where I suggested we pinch a marmite lorry - Not unlike a petrol tanker and park it in her garden. She said it would keep her happy for weeks....!!!

Aye, she'll eat it with a spoon out of the jar!

The Marmite Question

[dragonzgrace.livejournal.com]

I find that Marmite is particularly good on freshly baked crusty bread, but is perfectly accompanied by another slice, but this time spread with honey. I could not however confess to loving it. As a child, about 6 years old, my Mother took myself and my twin to visit an elderly relative who always served up toast and stale biscuits. I vividly remember ladling marmite onto a slice of toast while my elders looked on with horror. My great aunt asked whether I really wanted quite so much, to which I replied "Yes. I love it!" I think I must have thought it was chocolate sauce or something. They all sniggered quietly while my face turned inside out.
