You either love it or you hate it

By: Seamus Waldron Published: 28 July 2001

Marmite.  Mmmm.  Ever since I was a baby I've enjoyed the taste of this black nectar.  My favourite way to enjoy this marvel of yeast extraction is with sliced tomato betwixt two slices of buttery toast.  It is also one of
the best hangover cures I know.

I used to be the only person out of 20 people who had Marmite when the breakfast order was placed.  I've managed to convert 4 people so far.

Eat Marmite.

Resistance is futile.

Andy Harkin

Update, 2024: Twenty-three years later the love-or-hate divide has been mapped to specific SNPs near the SIX3 olfactory gene. See Whether you love or hate Marmite is, partly, in your DNA.
