Marmite is lovely!!

I can't believe you are all haters. Please say I'm not the only person around here who thinks it's yummy. I had it for breakfast actually. Very nice too on hot toast, spread very very thin. In reply to someone's question, Marmite is a bit like Bovril (another British institution that is not so nice, I don't like it very much) in that you can have it on bread etc or you can pour boiling water on it and make a drink. I can't say I've tried it although my mum likes it. I think the difference between Bovril and Marmite is that Bovril is made from Beef Extract and Marmite is made from Yeast Extract.

Not that any of you philistines cares.

Do you drink tea in America? Just wondering......
