Marmite: Love It or Hate It?

While in Seattle for a hot minute during Starbucks Coffee College, I stopped into The Crumpet Shop in Seattle's Pike Place Market, where I tried Marmite for the first time on top of a crumpet.

While in Seattle for a hot minute during Starbucks Coffee College, I stopped into The Crumpet Shop in Seattle's Pike Place Market, where I tried Marmite for the first time on top of a crumpet. Marmite, a savory spread made from yeast extract, is famous for its polarizing flavor; in fact, its marketing slogan is "Love it or hate it." Although I was told I'd have a strong reaction after trying the English export, I was left feeling surprisingly ambivalent. Marmite has an extremely concentrated umami flavor reminiscent of an ultra thick soy sauce, with the pronounced aftertaste of a really stinky cheese. I'm not particularly fond of the aftertaste, but otherwise find it pretty palatable. If you've tried it, what do you think of it?

London Receives a Marmite Kiss

This morning I asked you if you would eat a Marmite sandwich.

This morning I asked you if you would eat a Marmite sandwich. Imagine my surprise when just a few hours later I discovered that London-based artist, Jeremy Fattorini, has created a giant sculpture made from it! His sculpture, which is a replica of Rodin's The Kiss, is 7-ft. tall and is made from 420 jars of the limited-edition "I Love You" Marmite. It was unveiled yesterday in London's Greenwich Park, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Would You Eat a Marmite Sandwich?

This year, Marmite — a cult British favorite — introduced a champagne flavor for Valentine's Day.

by POPSUGAR Food

This year, Marmite — a cult British favorite — introduced a champagne flavor for Valentine's Day. The original Marmite is made from a yeast extract and is a dark brown, salty paste with an intense flavor similar to soy sauce. The paste is then spread on toast or crackers. Nigella Lawson is even known for her recipe for Marmite sandwiches in which she whisks butter and Marmite together and spreads it onto sliced white bread.

The new limited-edition I Love You version contains a hint of champagne, but is still the same intense flavor.

So what I want to know is, would you eat Marmite? How about a Marmite sandwich?
