marmite on rye toast

it's nothing new,
but i am obsessed
with
marmite on rye toast.
my children balk.
i do not care.
it is, to my taste,
~perfection~
dear marmite,
if loving you is wrong,
i don't want to be right.
yours truly,
catie

the texture is like molasses.
it is salty & yeasty - which i adore.
i also put nutritional yeast on my popcorn (that's another post).
if you buy some & hate it you can always give it to me!
we should get maisie to weigh in - i bet she likes it.
the australian version is vegemite - as in, "he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich."
i didn't help much, did i?

Catie ..I HATE Marmite ....it was force fed to me as a child, on the grounds it was good for me,a spoonful straight from the jar ...YUK........Do you know here in the U.K it is marked with the slogan ...Love it or hate it ?

Never knew what the "vegemite" really was in that Men at Work song, but now I do! So what's the "marm" in Marmite? Is it "mar" which is Spanish for "sea" (referring to the salt)? Is it some kind of marmalade? Or a reference to the way people say "ma'am" in England? Can you tell I'm procrastinating?
