How Dare You Call Australias "National Dish" Evil.....:toetap05: I Was Born And Raised On That Stuff, And Look How I Turned Out... Cheers Glen.
If Marmite has the same taste as vegemite, then it is bloody awful stuff as well. I have no trouble calling your "national dish" - evil...if it is the same. IT IS EVIL. It is for the mentally challenged. I'm sorry about your upbringing, Glen...you were gastronomically abused.
To Be Honest I Haven't Had Marmite In 20 Years. As I Remember, It Was Similar To Vegemite But More Bitter. But As You So Rightly Put It.....You Either Love Or Hate This Type Of Spread, And I Loooooooves It. Buy It In The Biggest Jar Made. Follow The Instructions To The Letter, Which Are As Follows. Whatever Appears To People To Be The Normal Application Depth, Then Multiply That By 10............................ Works For Me, And Millions Of Other Orstralians.. Cheers Glen.
My sick is being sick, Glen. Oh well, some of us have taste buds others don't. Ok, Ill be fair, Glen, you love it, I hate it. But I feel I am in the majority.
LMAO :smilielol5: Australians = Team Vegemite Kiwis = Team Marmite I don't mind either Y'all so picky.
The Marmite Food Extract Company was formed in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England, in 1902, with Marmite as its main product, and Burton as the site of the first factory. The by-product yeast needed for the paste came from the biggest brewer at the time, Bass Brewery. By 1907, the product had become successful enough to warrant construction of a second factory at Camberwell Green in London. Initially, Marmite was popular with vegetarians as a meat-free alternative to beef extract products such as Bovril, which were popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. Today, the main ingredients of Marmite manufactured in the UK are glutamic acid-rich yeast extract, with lesser quantities of sodium chloride (table salt), vegetable extract, niacin, thiamine, spice extracts, riboflavin, folic acid, and celery extracts, although the precise composition is a trade secret. By 1912, the discovery of vitamins was a boost for Marmite, as the spread is a rich source of the vitamin B complex; vitamin B is not naturally found in yeast extract, but is added to Marmite during manufacture. With the vitamin B1 deficiency beri-beri being common during the First World War, the spread became more popular. In 1990, Marmite Limited—which had become a subsidiary of Bovril Limited—was bought by CPC (United Kingdom) Limited, which changed its name to Best Foods Inc in 1998. Best Foods Inc subsequently merged with Unilever in 2000, and Marmite is now a trademark owned by Unilever.
