Marmite (c) Yseult

On rainy, cold mornings like today, I just love J. Liebig and the guys over at Bass Brewery for giving us the unmistakable spread on toast that anyone not being a Brit or having grown up in British Culture treats with contempt and even disgust: Marmite.
Hot tea, Marmite on bread or toast can actually get rid of all gloomy thoughts, curses to the heavens for their perfect timing on releasing the floods a bit early this year, exactly on the day I am supposed to go to an Open-Air to listen to Muse

    How did you manage to learn to eat it. I tried it several times and it is just HORRIBLE. (sorry)…

    Any tips?

    Well, Taquoriaan, I don’t know if you can actually learn to eat Marmite. I guess you’ll just have to grow up with it, although there are exceptions to this idea (read: my husband)… I grew up with it in an English household. It’s just like English teabags. Smelling them brings back a lot of memories and fond feelings… hard to explain.
    But, if you’d like to try, be sure to only use a tiny bit of Marmite with a nice buttered piece of bread or freshly toasted toast. Has always worked for me.
