@mwmiller saidOur American friends could start with Marmite Crunchy Peanut Butter and gradually build up to proper Marmite.
I have tried both Marmite and Vegemite.
(But not the New Zealand version)
I like them both. They are very similar but not the same in taste or texture. I found that marmite is slightly sweeter and has a thinner texture than vegemite.
Warning! They taste nothing like a jam, jelly, or peanut butter. They are yeast extract and they are salty. Marmite has a somewhat ...[text shortened]... there. The majority of them are doing it totally wrong and are a waste of your time to even watch.

I thought,maybe, after trying and liking the marmite flavoured peanut butter, the original Marmite - used as you described - would be more acceptable. The 'shock factor' would be missing.

OK, now I see. I thought maybe you meant there was a particular "proper" way of eating the original marmite. I know people use it on various sandwiches or in soup as well. I think it is perfect on buttered toast so will stay with that. 🙂

@kevcvs57 saidThe 'lashings of ginger beer' thing was really a tip of the hat to Enid Blyton and The Famous Five.
I don’t know if you were joking there ghost but all of that would work for me I would have strong Assam tea to soothe the throat after the ginger ale on a hot summer day.
Good choice with the Assam tea.

Use it as an alternative to cheese spread ... OK.
But I could use pureed peas as an alternative spread.
Do peas help you lose weight?
How about a bag of air?

Ways that vegemite can help with weight loss: lick it off a spoon (definitely an acquired taste but will kill your food cravings and give you enough salt for your whole day). Or stir it into a cup of boiling water. Tastes a bit like Bonox or Bovril.
Vegemite and cheese sandwich is my favourite but way too many calories.
