    With no Saints for another week and a half, I thought I would do a quick poll on Marmite :)

    For what it is worth I LOVE it and it is my secret ingredient in my Bolognese (using my Mamma’s recipe).

    Love it. And none of this 'spread thinly' crap either. Go big or go home.

    Yes, I love it too, though I don't eat it regularly, which means I sometimes find I'm asking myself the vital question which is... 'why don't I eat this stuff more regularly, cause I love it'. I still don't know.

    And yes, I discovered Marmite in a ragu sauce aided the flavour, a decade or two back. Trouble is, I've always considered it cheating. Don't ask me why, because I don't know the answer to that either. Probably because mia mamma didn't do it.

    EDIT: One thing. When I lived in NZ I went into a supermarket and found no genuine Marmite. So I bought the 'marmite' from the people who make Vegemite [which in itself is ok]. Can't remember the company name. It was vomit inducing and caused me to get a commercial sized genuine Marmite jar shipped over from the UK.

    It’s alright. I mean, spread on toast, if there’s nothing else, it’ll do.

    Rather have a decent marmalade though.

    I would never voluntarily eat it again, but I could eat it if I had to (spread thinly on toast), so although I voted 'hate it' that isn't technically true. My category would be 'dislike it, but could eat at a push'.

    I like Marmite flavoured things like Twiglets, crisps and rice cakes but I much prefer what it was originally a by product of!...:emoticon-0167-beer:<double>:grin:

    My dear old mum used to add it to gravy.
    I love it in sandwiches with cheese and/or cucumber, as well as on toast.
    My wife hates it, which gave us (me) a hilarious moment many years ago.
    My missus would, if you weren’t looking, take a bite out of any sandwich I made myself, until that fateful day when she found herself eating Marmite and cheese. Her face was a picture.

    Reminds me of the time when there was a tray of sushi at work and I took a piece and gave it to a mate saying it was confectionary, my pleasure at watching his smile turn to ewww when he ate it was pure shadenfreude...<devil>

    Love it. But Peanut butter is my staple at the moment.

    Poll anyone?

    You know what, I didn’t taste peanut butter until I was 27. Love it now, but never had it as a kid (I’m 49 now btw if you all didn’t know :) )
