So the ultimate Question- Marmite- love it or hate it?
Jun 15, 2012 #2 Benjamin Clayborne Auror Never tasted it, but have read about it, and find it incomprehensible.
Jun 16, 2012 #5 Devor Fiery Keeper of the Hat Moderator I hate anything I don't understand. So yes, I hate Marmite. . . . . okay, what is it?

Jun 16, 2012 #7 Kelise Maester It's very salty, and very savoury. I honestly can't imagine having sweet things, like honey or jam, on bread - much less toast.

Aug 14, 2012 #13 Jess A Archmage I've had marmite. I grew up on Vegemite, so marmite did not taste good to me. Vegemite will always win.
