Goph and I are fans. Anyone else?
I seem to remember that purelife likes Vegimite better?
No idea what Marmite is, but it sounds like some kind of bug or a blind underground animal. lol
arent they becoming extinct on the island?
I believe so, poor little guys. They probably live mostly up in the north of the Island which is from what I can tell minus Cape Scott, is one giant clear cut. They live in the mountainous areas.

If its the black stuff you spread on a piece of bread after you spread the butter, its ok. I haven't had it for years. I used it on sandwiches in my lunches when I was in primary school.
I like marmite and vegimite. I prefer them out of the jar but should be more of a lady and have it on rye....I wonder if it goes well with avocado.
I was tempted to have Marmite on a burger yesterday, but I stuck with the tried and true red hamburger relish.
Here's some weird trivia from the Marmite FAQ
More here:[/DIV][A href="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/marmite.htm"]http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/marmite.htm[/A] The most common use is as a spread on toast or in sandwiches. Note: it is generally spread very thinly because of its strong flavor—don't use it like jam. It has drug-like qualities; the more you eat, the thicker you need to spread it to get the same mouth-burning effect. Some people have even called it addictive.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]It is also delicious spread on hot buttered crumpets or ryvita crackers. A pregnant fan has reported a love for Marmite and bananas.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]Phil Johnson's favorite way to eat it is thinly-spread on rye toast with slices of sharp cheddar cheese. Very satisfying.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]One contributor to the [A href="http://www.ilovemarmite.com/marmite/display_article.asp?scr=3&document_id=8"]"I love Marmite"[/A] Web site has this suggestion: "Eat it on raw spaghetti. It's true! Dip raw spaghetti in Marmite and then eat; it tastes just like Twiglets."
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]A lot of Brits have it on buttered toast. Do take care not to get butter or bread crumbs in the Marmite jar. It makes an unappetizing mess for the next person.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]There is no feeling like the smugness you feel when you manage to scrape just enough Marmite from the jar for another piece of toast. Top tip (from James Kew): pour boiling water into a near-empty jar and drink the jar clean.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]A teaspoon of Marmite can also be added to soups, casseroles, and almost any savory food for a wonderful, rich flavoring.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]In England, pretzel-like morsels and other boxed fast-food snacks are available with Marmite flavoring. Fans of Mr. Bean will remember an episode where he made hors d'oeuvres for a party by spreading Marmite on twigs cut from a tree outside his kitchen window.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]In some neighborhoods it is (apparently!) common for nursing mothers to dab a little on their nipples before feeding their infants.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]There are reports that some balding men have tried smearing Marmite on their heads to promote hair growth. No assessment of whether it works, however.
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]One reader of this FAQ writes: "I found you while surfing for Marmite. I don't know whom to tell but I think I have made a discovery. I used to get a lot of night cramps and took quinine. I did not like to take it every night and if I got a cramp I would eat a bit of salt. Because this makes me nauseous I tried Marmite. It stopped the cramp quite quickly. Then I started taking a teaspoonful of Marmite before going to sleep and I never get cramps now unless I forget to take it. This seems useful and I would like to share it."
[img alt=" " src="http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/images/indent.gif"]Of course this is anecdotal and the keepers of this FAQ hereby officially disavow all claims about medicinal uses of Marmite—especially the suggestion, made by an American, that Marmite is very effective as a topical ointment in the treatment of haemorrhoids.

Ugh. Gross. Nope. Can't say I'm a fan of it. I don't know how the Aussies live with it. They seem to grow on that stuff.
We had it when we were kiddies in our porridge and I distinctly remember hating it.
I finally did it! I had a Marmite burger. Grilled the bun, spread butter and Marmite, Angus burger patty, red onion, tomatoes. It was faaaaaantastic.
Oh, you're a brave soul, LM.
Never tried vegemite or marmite.
I would try it. I try just about anything once.
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

Sweet! Marmite and Cockroaches...
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. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Marmite is a food group.
With groupies!
I had some marmite with brie. very yummeeee....
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.
I DARE Michel to try a spoonful of this hideous stuff.
Lise! lol
How hideously bad is it?
butter and crackers (no Tila)
I dare him to toss a sardine with the mix!
pub food! pub food rocks.
There's a pub at UBC (something with sons involve - I know it's Irishy sound) and they have excellent finger food there. Yum!
Fish n chips! Best Brit food ever invented!
Boiled hamburger meat? Perish the thought!!! Eck.
On another note, nobody makes tea like the Brits. I don't know what they put in their tea but I can't replicate it no matter how hard I try.
Oh, c'mon... it's not like we have super clean water here (downtown, anyways) ourselves right? Think about what happened at False Creek with all them algae reading.
Oh lala.... ja, Twinnings is awesome. I love the English Breakfast and Earl Grey version. Red Rose isn't so bad, it's ok if you're in a hurry.
The Brits have damn fine curries....... hmm....... hungry.
I think the secret to British tea is the Brown Betty teapot that never gets cleaned. (alas, I don't own one..)
I drink Tetley- round teabag in a mug.
I have no idea what 'british' is, although when I tell a good friend of mine who's a Scot about Canadianisms, he says that's totally British thought.
The best I can think of at the moment is History related. First thing I was taught in Canadian History "When the country was founded nobody thought it would last a month." That's sooo british thinking apparently.
lol

[FONT color=#0000bf]I agree with you, Lise. But have you ever tried Yorkshire Pudding? In my book, that definitely comes a close second...especially when it's made as part of Toad In The Hole.[/FONT]
I must admit..... I've never tried Yorkshire pudding. I will when I get the chance. Like Michel says, there are virtually no Brit restaurants around here. Gee.... I wonder why.
