    "As it turns out, many people are ambivalent about marmite" was a gag from The Armstrong and Miller Show. It was an interesting thought, IMO.

    I am on the fence about it, in the fact I have never tried it.

    Sh*thouse. Neither have I, actually. I should have made that a fourth option.

    Can't decide, OP. ;)

    Not really, I just wanted to make a lame joke. I don't like the stuff.

    What's the difference?

    It tastes bad when you spread it like butter.

    I never tasted it. It must offend a lot of people though because I once asked what it tasted like on Yahoo! Answers and got about ten thumbs down. :(

    Marmite doesn't contain meat extract.

    I like it on toast, also a small spoonful in a stew for extra flavour. The brandname stuff is nicer than the Tesco ownbrand, and spreads better. Possibly too salty for some people.

    I was given a bar of chocolate that had marmite in it last week, it had just a hint of marmite and to be honest it was nice. Hardle a weight watchers special though :)

    I don't think I've every tried it, I know I've never bought it myself. Love blue cheese though so I'm tempted to give it a go :P

    On cheese and toast its phucking king!!! Best yet try it on French toast with cheese on top.

    I used to work in a shop. One day a customer knocked a jar of marmite off the shelf and it smashed. I almost vomited several times cleaning it up
