ok peeps..... your opinions on the yeast extract preserve please....

Personally, I love it :D
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    but Marmite is one of the most evil things in the world.. who had the idea of condensing vaginal thrush and putting it onto a jar for people to eat? the same people who make clothes out of hemp and think dolphins can talk to them.. thats who!!!

    now Haggis... thats a food... chopped up sheeps eyelids and cows udder... ye cannae beat it ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I've purchased it twice, but don't know how to use it. It wasn't very spreadable. The taste seemed decent if used sparingly.

    So, those who love it. How do you use it? :confused:

    I love it. You use it very sparingly on toast. You can use it in gravy. (I think that's about it. :o

    Have you tried twiglets? *drool*

    Anyone who doesn't like marmite is a wuss! ;)

    I'm indifferent.. I think it tastes weird. I don't 'like' it but I understand its appeal. Don't hate it.

    But that's not what they want is it? Hence why I didn't make the audition for the commercial. :D

    Twiglets??? I don't think we have those here. Maybe I could duplicate by dipping pretzels in some marmite, eh?

    I've actually been thinking about trying to work marmite into a veggie/nut pate, but I'm not much for venturing into the kitchen, so....

    Ugh. It's the same as Vegemite, right? I may be breaking 21 Australian laws by saying this, but that stuff tastes like shit.

    Haggis on the other hand I'm quite keen on. Must find me some.

    Don't like Marmite that much (or Promite) but I LOVE vegemite. Grew up eating it on a spoon. **drools**

    I was chatting to a chick from Orlando and she bought vegemite and said she was going to make her kids FRENCH TOAST and put vegemite on top. NO NO NO NO!!!!! I explained that it wasn't sweet (she thought it was chocolately I think due to the colour).

    For beginners: Make toast, add heaps of butter and a thin spread of vegemite.

    I personally like HEAPS of vegemite. :D

    When I go to festivals twiglets are all I eat, just can't get enough of them.

    My better half got some in the SS exchange and we think it tastes good. We have dipped our fingers in the jar, spread it on cheese and spread it on crackers.

    Yes, I confess I did a quick google search so I knew you were in Chile. :)
    (I'm geographically challenged mostly! :o )
    But I did try to send a whole bunch of food items to the US last week, including the tube of vegemite and the FDA won't let them through which is why I have a spare tube floating around. :)

    But you've already got your marmite, cheese toast thing going on so it's all good. :)
    I had toast and vegemite for breakfast this morning myself. :)
