Poll: Marmite...Love it or hate it?

[Pav89]

DON: POLL PLEASE - 2 options - Love it vs Hate it


So, I'm sitting here with two pieces of toast with a nice spread of marmite and cannot think as to why people hate this beautiful condiment. It tastes soooo nice, and to think that back in the war, it was rationed out to everyone; it would have been part of many people's last meals.

I'm wondering if there are any trends as to whether someone loves it or hates it so...I'd like to know:

1. Do you love it or hate it?

2. Do you class yourself as a Northerner, Midlander or Southerner?

3. At what age (approx) did you first try it?

4. Why do you like/dislike it?



I'll get the ball rolling:

1. Love it

2. Northerner

3. About 3 years old

4. It has an unrivalled taste that perfectly complements bagels, toast and crumpets, om nom nom!

This is only for English people then? Your region choices are sadly lacking..

 

[The IPB]

1. Hate it
2. Southerner
3. Can't remember, I have tried it on multiple occasions and different ages, just in case my taste has changed.
4. It tastes like ****

 

[Vonhelmet]

1) Love
2) Northerner now, but born in Newcastle and lived down South from a few months old to 8 years old
3) Probably under 2, I'd guess
4) It tastes delicious. It's not sweet though! What, are you mental?

 

[The IPB]

It's not sweet at all :/

 

[Kosmiche]

I think its alright, apparently you're not allowed this opinion.

That how I do mine but I also add some HP sauce to top it off.

 

[DreXeL]

1. - Love it.
2. - Southerner, but my mother's side is from oop norf (Newcastle).
3. - Around 3 I guess.
4. - It's just.... Marmite.

Oh, and here is something I used to love as a kid, Mum's Chapati bread with a Marmite face on it:

She made me some at the weekend when I was visiting, I'm 35 years old. Childhood comfort food fer da win.

 

[gillywibble]

1. Get jar of Marmite out of the cupboard.
2. Throw it away.
3. ?????
4. Profit.

 

[DreXeL]

Don't really like it, sucks compared to Bovril.

What's Bovril got to do with anything, other than the fact that it comes in a similar shaped jar?

Nice ninja edit

Southerner

3. At what age (approx) did you first try it?

14 or so

4. Why do you like/dislike it?

It tastes like poo

 

[Oynas]

1. Love it (sometimes spread nice and thick).

2. Southerner.

3. Probably quiet young, as both my parents like it.

4. Nice taste - can't really expand on that really.

 

[Participant]

1. I love it!

2. Southerner now living in the Midlands.

3. Probably about 2.

4. Mainly because I just love salty flavours, but it's so rich and works brilliantly with butter.

To show how much I love it, I bought and often wear this t-shirt from the Marmite store:

 

[JDMaverick]

1. Love it
2. Welsh
3. No idea
4. Like the strong flavour?

On a seperate note, how many of those that like marmite...like twiglets?

I can't stand them but my missus loves em...but she hates marmite.

 

[Participant]

I love Marmite but Twiglets are *meh* to me. Those Marmite oatmeal snack bars...I find them repulsive.
