    Dislike it. Vegemite is far more superior.

    I hate anything I don't understand. So yes, I hate Marmite.

    . . . . okay, what is it?

    It is yeast extract- basically it is a by-product of beer making which is spread on bread.

    It's very salty, and very savoury.

    I honestly can't imagine having sweet things, like honey or jam, on bread - much less toast.

    For a second I thought you were talking about the portable serving/warming trays the Army likes to use to serve food in the field.

    I've had marmite and vegemite, both. I can only assume they were first eaten by poor people who looked around, after being out of food for a week or more, and said, "Ok, what's this sludge in the bottom of this bottle? Is it safe to eat?"

    You, too, can get a copy of Lorelei and the Lost and Found Monster from Amazon.com.
