Okay.  Yes, I'm back.  I guess I might as well bring this back too.

You all talk amongst yourselves.  I'll give you a subject:  Marmite! :D

Awww, don't be scared!  To be honest, it took me about three or four times to like it. :wink:

A friend of mine refers to Vegemite by a four-letter word I won't type here. 8O

But anyway, to be honest, peanut butter is really good, and I've gotten to where I do put the Marmite on a little heavier than some. :cry:

By the way, I eat the Marmite from Sanitarium NZ.  I've heard the UK "My Mate" marmite is rancid! :x

Well, it's breakfast time in NZ (lunch here, but I haven't eaten yet, so it's still breakfast to me), so I'm getting out my bread, knife, and little jar right now. :D

Jess, and some ben jelen fans (jelenbeans) and I are the marmite girls! We made shirts for one of his shows, and brought marmite n things, even tried it, oh goodness it's AWFUL! but Benjamin LOVES it.... craziness.

anyway, I could talk about this topic for forever.. so many memories :wink:  but we are forever known as the marmite girls

Marmite goes perfectly with stir fries and fajitas (it adds a flavour similar to soy sauce).  Also good mixed in with mashtatas.  Please try it like this first and you may like it. :D

I hold in my hands a small jar of Marmite, but way too scared to try it. :?
Maybe I can wash it down with some Milo 8O

I've tried it... though you should have something to wash it down with afterwards haha.

The key is to spread it on your toast very thinly!!  Just enough to fill the little tiny pores in the surface.  Otherwise, you could gag yourself. 8)

As much as I hate dragging up old threads, it just goes that you should always continue an existing discussion rather than start a new one if the topic is the same.

That said, I can now say that I've tried both the Sanitarium Marmite from New Zealand and the Unilever Marmite from the U.K.  I can say that both versions of marmite are substantially the same item, but the flavour of the U.K. Marmite is a bit more punishing.  New Zealand's Marmite is certainly more pleasant (if such a thing can be said about such a product).  I am about to have to place an order for more as my current supply is almost exhausted.

Now, if only I can get my hands on some Vegemite, I'll be able to tell the full story.  Don't bother sending me any Bovril.
