Marmite is the definitive Love It Or Hate It thing, especially since they started using that as the advertising slogan.
Claire, of course, is difficult and "doesn't mind it" :lol:
It comes in jars, squeezy bottles, sachets and other forms.

Personally, I find that it's OK up to a point... but if you use just a touch too much then it becomes WAAAAAAAYYY too much and is like swallowing a whole bottle of salt tablets in one go!!

However, this feature does not exist with Vegemite, which is the Australian version (sold anywhere that stocks Kraft foods). Much smoother ;)

I'm intrigued what ADC does to push a person over 'meh' to full Marmite enjoyment.

Does it involve Jack Daniels?

I have a stash here in the US if you want some....just not sure how to send it as the jar is a large jar and if you don't like it.....you can't waste it ;)

It's done the rounds here at work.....I'm the only one who loves it!

I believe squeezy will be the safe for shipping option as you can't send glass in the mail. Whomever wants to send me one, shoot me a PM and I'll send you my address... just tell me what the cost is and I'll PP the fees.

What's it smell like?

Post subject:  Re: Marmite

I don't think marmite comes in anything but glass jars....it's certainly not squeezable.
It's like asphalt!!

I buy it in squeezy jars, so you can get it thus in the UK - handy for writing ones name on the bread.

Beware... It might taste different if it's produced in a different country! I had this experience with Coco-Pops, love the UK ones (until they changed the recipe a few years ago) but downright detested the Australian version.

No its not...I don't think anything is like Marmite!!

I knew my reply would get some sort of response...I should have put:

'and that's NOT what she said' :D

Marmite is like a thick syrup or treacle, flavoured with very strong soy sauce.

It's a veggie version of beef extract, but made from yeast.

I'd check with your post office first I guess... I'm sure there's rules for perishable... but a plastic bottled condiment, I doubt it.
