The far-right British National Party is reportedly facing financial ruin after agreeing to pay up to £170,000 in compensation after infringing Marmite’s copyright.

So I put a few of these near the bird feeder and thought it would put them off - but I saw one squirrel pick them up and go mad - he clearly loved them and started a manic search for more!!

|  | That's the way uh huh uh huh I like it.. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Robbinsville, NJ | | | I bought a jar of marmite to try it out one time and an epiphany took place.
If we here in the US could spread a little bit of that on everything we eat, our obesity problem would vanish within a few months.

Its an aquired taste, you only need a really small amount and you want to spread it real thin on whatever you put it on.
I don't know how they make any money out of it, a jar of Vegemite is enough for months.
I haven't had Vegemite in ages now that I think of it. Hot buttered toast with Vegemite.. mmm...

|  | Registered User | | | | It's a little different from Vegemite. And also a bit different from Bovril.
Marmite's definitely the best.... oh my lawd I love that stuff.
Just had a marmite sandwich

The cashews I pointed out have an incredible flavour though - very strong - I felt guilty, as if I had given the Squirrel drugs - he looked as if they had made him high!!

Oh, and I'm on the 'hate Marmite' side. Can't stand the stuff...except on Twiglets. Hmmmmm.

What you say confirms my theory, as in twiglets the amount is predetermined by the application process!

|  | Registered User | | | | | I always hated Vegemite and Marmite also. A few years back I decided I was going to eat it anyway just to see if I could develop a taste for it. Lo and behold, I now love the stuff and really get cravings for it. It took me a few days of having it on toaste before I was accustomed to it, and after a couple weeks I was down right looking forward to it.
I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd do a search here to see who else is talking about this stuff. Looks like there are lots of thread about it!
I like Marmite also, but Vegemite is better to me. It has a better balance of bitterness to saltiness. The Marmite is more intense so I can see why some might like it better. For me, it overpowers whatever you put it on. With Vegemite, it's more of a complimentary spread. That said, I could live happily ever after with nothing but Marmite for my toast!

| | | | Marmite is excellent, although the Marmite cheese was surprising (and not in a "yummy" way).
My daughter and her fiance visited me at Christmas (they live in England, I'm in California). They brought me the 'catering' size vat of regular Marmite, and a big jar of the XO (Extra Old). To my taste buds, the XO tastes more like the Marmite I grew up on, and the regular seems a bit 'weak'(????).
Anyone else think the same.
Anyway, +1 on love it. |

Mmmmmmmmm
