More Marmite Love & Hate

A Yanks view of England
30 Jul 2001, Seamus

For lunch, we had a picnic out of the boot (trunk for my fellow yanks). Damn, wot a lunch!! This was my first time to sample Marmite (a picnic with Marmite sandwiches had been a part of the Twycross Zoo trip plan from day one as a result of an off-topic list thread that we took off list).

So there I am, Marmite sandwich in hand, being watched like a hawk for any reaction (not just Helen mind you, the whole damn lot of 'em). Felt like an exhibit myself. Well, time to bite it so to speak.

Chomp!

Chew!

Hey this stuff tastes great!

That clearly put me in the Marmite! Love it! camp. I had Marmite & cheese, Marmite & peanut butter, and Marmite and ham. All delish. For those of you who haven't heard of the stuff. Check out these web sites. The last is to give the folks down under a bit of a plug for their "ugly sister" Vegemite.
