I feel inspired to make this silly poll after watching my 2 year old devour another slice of toast with Marmite; so then love it or hate it? There's no "it's OK" option - it's got to be one or the other.
 
ps - does anyone outside the UK know what Marmite is?

Marmite is a yeast extract spread, similar to Vegimite or Bovril (but nicer), dark brown, savoury, very salty. Usually spread thinly on toast or wholemeal (whole grain) bread. It's one of those things you either love or hate. Unless you've never tried it of course, in which case, well, you won't know what you've missed.

Surely Bovril is some kind of beef extract?

Anyway, my sister-in-law once did me Marmite on toast for breakfast. She spread loads of it on really thickly, like jam, and then couldn't understand why I wouldn't eat it. (Perhaps I should say that I like Marmite, but you can't eat it like that!)

Not any more! Believe it or not, due to declining sales, they made Bovril a veggie product a few years back.
 
Anyhow looks like chopper,Snowy and me are true Marmite fans. Great stuff, nothing like (even though my lad's Mum is having kittens about his salt intake given the amount he stuffs away!)

Well, I never knew that about Bovril (don't buy the stuff). Perhaps it was Foot and Mouth that did for it.

So what do Birmingham City fans drink at football matches then? (Jasper Carrot related joke).

I tried Marmite when I went to England as a kid. No thanks! It tasted as if it was made from stones. A cross between marble and granite.
