A very nice lady I know who lives in N.S. sent me a lovely package today. Marmite!!! Holy crap, it has got to be the most foul tasting, gut wrenching, disgusting thing I ever tasted. I'd rather lick an old boot. No wonder you guys came to America - to get some decent food. Barf I think the husband might be able to use it to grease up his snow blower. I had to swallow a whole extra glass of red wine to get rid of the taste - woe is me!! :-))

Boy, were you brave. I had no desire to taste that goop.
Ingrate - that's what you are - an ingrate ! And a philistine too !
Dang - that is a potent description.
I wouldn't mind the red wine though. But since I think I'm the latest victim of the stomach bug in the house, I'm passing
And this from a resident of a country that gave the world "grits". You're not supposed to eat Marmite by the spoonful! It's meant to be spread VERY thinly on hot, buttered crumpets and slowly savoured.
Do you suppose if we would call it Polenta, or Farina, it would please your palate any better? It truly is almost identical.
Oh bad luck !
I dunno - it's like speaking to heathens lol
It's too easy to make. Just tip the peanuts into the food processor and process until you have peanut butter. I used to make it for grandchildren and David.
Come to think of it, some marmite on grits would taste good.
I'm sure that works beautifully but first you have to own a food processor.
That just sounds sooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddd. lol
And to think I once told someone I didn't think the food in Great Britain was so bad. Of course I was thinking of breakfast and fish and chips or maybe a Cornish Pasty.
For one person, even a coffee mill would do. There is so much oil in peanuts, they make butter easily. If I had to eat it, I would prefer that to boughten.
The saltiness of the marmite would lift the bland flavour of the grits.
I tried telling Sharon that, she whacked in on just liked she pours wine lol
Not being a lover of grits I don't think it could make it worse.
Bruce...eben the USA didn't give us gross grits.......theyare southern. Hoever
LOLOLOL! I LOVE it - but, as the advert says - you either love it or hate it. It`s very similar to Australia`s Vegemite, but their`s is only for wusses - it`s not as strong as ours! It`s vary good for you though!

Now I haven't had one of those in zonks dammit
You answered your own question really, think of all the kitchen wipes with antibacterial properties, the sterilizing hand gels etc etc. We are too clean and in the process of cleaning we kill off good bacteria which we should have on us in the natural course of events.
A friends Newfoundland dad had a very good expression to cover all that, not printable though.
