not something you take a big spoonful of.
And like most Brits, when abroad for extended periods, I go well stocked. 🙂
[I find it is at its best as a 'morning after food', that is, the morning after a night of beer and a good curry.]

Originally posted by AcolyteI don't know for sure, but when I was a lad I used to be forced into visitng my Grandma, something I never particularly enjoyed, not least because the cupboads were full of food for 'the kids' that had not been restocked since our last visit.
I'm not a fan of Marmite. But judging by the taste, I do have a question: can Marmite go off, and if so how can you tell it's gone bad? 😕
Soggy corn flakes, that kind of thing.
But, the miracle food that is Marmite, well, that was always good!

An Aussie employed at a brewery got thirsty one sunny arvo, so he drank the nearest vat dry. of course, to finish it, he actually had to dive in. when it was empty, the sides were too high to climb back out, so he dozed off. when he awoke, he was really hungry, and the only thing available to eat was the black gunk on the sides of the vat, so he scraped that off and ate it, perhaps smeared over his thongs...

(In NZ thongs are called jandals, the ones that go on your feet that is).

Mmm, marmite good, vegemite bad.
Like Russ, I too enjoy a good healthy slice of toast with the marmite slathered thickly all over it. But vegemite is just not nearly the same. I've been Down Under for nearly 9 months now, and I'm really craving my mate marmite! 🙁
