To be a bit meh about Marmite?

I don't love it, and I don't hate it.

It's not as good as Vegemite, but it'll do at a pinch.

You don't find it Marmite, then?

Smoorikins · 02/02/2014 08:20

The only logical conclusion is that you are Australian.

SanityClause · 02/02/2014 08:23

No, Taffeta, I find it "meh"! Did you not read the OP?

You've rumbled me, Smoorikins.

Haha, really? I wasn't serious when I posted that.

Sammie101 · 02/02/2014 08:26

I'm the same, I much prefer bovril!

Feminine · 02/02/2014 08:28

I love Bovril.

enjoy marmite.

But I hate yegemite! I find that strange, as it shouldn't be that different to marmite?

For me, though it just tastes off.

WindyMillerCandlewickGreen · 02/02/2014 08:31

Marmite on an onion bagel.

Anyone who disagrees has no taste

msrisotto · 02/02/2014 08:32

I'm Pommie and I'm meh about Marmite. It's fine, take it or leave it. Twig lets on the other hand are awesome... I'm a bit concerned that Marmite has been banned in several countries though, is it bad for you?

SanityClause · 02/02/2014 08:32

You hate Vegemite, Feminine!

Say it ain't so!

SanityClause · 02/02/2014 08:33

Twiglets are Marmite flavoured, apparently.

I have no strong feelings either way on Marmite.

I also have no preference to which way round the toilet paper goes.

summerlovingliz · 02/02/2014 08:39

Marmite is the best! Have it every single day, life would not be the same without it!! Ha

MyPantsAreGreen · 02/02/2014 08:43

Marmite on an onion bagel. Yum. Add a slice of dairylea. Heaven.

WindyMillerCandlewickGreen · 02/02/2014 08:53

mypantsaregreen ooh, the gourmet option!

SanityClause · 02/02/2014 08:55

What about toilet brushes, branleuse? Taking shoes off inside? 4x4 drivers? P&C parking?

Surely we can get you going on something?

DaftSkunk · 02/02/2014 08:57

YABU, marmite is food of the gods. I'm not keen on Bovril, it's just a bit too meaty and runny.

I haven't tried Vegemite, am I missing out?

SanityClause · 02/02/2014 09:14

Vegemite is like mothers milk, Daft. *

Marmite best thing ever invented on toast. Put some in your gravy.... Wow

londonrach · 02/02/2014 09:18

Whats wrong with toilet brushes sainty??

daisychain01 · 02/02/2014 09:23

Nope sorry YABVVVU, you are only allowed to love Marmite or hate Marmite, those are the only 2 options available, so please go away, do some soul-searching and come back when you've changed your attitude.

And branleuse at the back there, you can join sanity dumb insolence

(Wanders off, mutter, mutter Unbelievable... )

Binkyridesagain · 02/02/2014 09:26

I think this thread needs a little balance.

Marmite, Bovril and Vegemite are vile. Should be banned!

Feminine · 02/02/2014 09:55

Not any of the previous spreads mentioned...

However its the same colour

Waitrose chocolate spread is so much nicer than Nutella!

WindyMillerCandlewickGreen · 02/02/2014 09:57

lindonrach +1 for marmite in gravy. A spoonful in cottage pie gives an amazing savoury yummyness.

And that's officially the cam pest thing I have ever posted

YABU. You either love it or hate it. Those are the rules and they cannot, must not, be redefined.
