I haven't tried it either....but it sounds very much like Maggi, except Maggi is a liquid, not a paste. I like Maggi on a tomato sammy with sliver thin slices of raw onion.....DELISH. If Marmit is anything like this, I would probably like it.

Havent tried em either.. but I use Maggi. I started using this in africa as its all over everywhere there. Its good on salad.. add some olive oil and then splatter this on it.

Marmite is quite unlike anything else, and the remark about its addictive quality (as mentioned in Lil Me's account) is quite correct. It's also extremely divisive, you either love it or hate it.

I found a small jar of marmite last night in the cupboards. I think it's about 2 years old. I tried it and I'm still alive.

Tastes fine to me, actually, better than I had imagined.

I think it's one of those things that would last forever. Might be a good thing for the earthquake kit. hmmmm

Well, marmite's first ingredient is yeast which is similiar to beer.

I've just put some in a chilli, it definitely enhanced the flavour.

Maybe the more it ages, the more finer it becomes - like wine.

Marmite is a food group.

Are you talking about marmite, Michel?

It's more of a spread. A bit thicker than butter, I think. First ingredient is yeast extract.

A little jar in Superstore is a bit over $4. It's kinda expensive.

There's also vegemite. I'm not sure what the differences of the two are.

Miche, you simply MUST try Marmite. It's next to the peanut butter at the StupidStore.
