Have you ever had this?
We have a cafeteria at work that serves breakfast—there’s a hot breakfast, which usually includes sausages, eggs, and that sort of thing, and there’s also a cold breakfast bar with yogurt, cereal, bread for toasting, and things like that. There’s an assortment of breakfast condiments, too, including butter, jelly, and this:
I don’t know if you’ve ever had this. I would describe the taste, but words simply fail me.

I love Marmite. Marmite makes salt taste sweet. Did you know it's a byproduct of brewing beer? (Well, let's not mince words -- it's yeast extract.) And that it gets its name from the little earthenware jars (or marmites) in which it was originally served? Give it another chance, won't you?
Yeeccchhhhh...the only thing worse than Marmite is Vegemite
*blech*
Bo, that’s a perfect ad campaign: “Marmite—it makes salt taste sweet!”
I am, in general, an adventurous polyvore. (Is that a word? If it isn't, it should be.) And, of everything I've ever tasted, Marmite might be the most unappetizing food product I have ever encounterd.
Never had Vegemite, though.
Marmite is a wonderful thing. For the record it is much better than Vegemite (much milder, the Australians are a bit feeble). Although it has to be said that I route air travel in Asia through Sydney airport to get the hot toast and vegemite in the Qantas lounge.
Next time I see you in London I shall make you Marmite on toast (has to be white bread, has to be butter, has to be thinly spread) or a cheese and Marmite sandwich. It is all in how much you spread.
I thought Marmite was invented in WW2 when all there was to eat around here was salt and an oil slick.
