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

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!

OK, OK, I just had scrambled eggs on my marmite toast and my taste buds have gone a little crazy!

From the South and love Marmite

Out of interest, does anybody remember the Marmite flavoured Mini Cheddars? Quite possibly my favourite childhood snack, but haven't seen any in the last 15+ years.

Well I had some around 7 years ago!

Now though, I'm hooked onto Marmite Bagels. Cut in half, pop in toaster, spread butter on top. Nom!

< Recipe. I'm going to try this!

...but I do like having little squirt on my finger every few mins.

If I had the choice of erasing Hitler or Marmite from history, well I am sorry but Marmite would have to go.

So you'd pick the option that has caused innocent people to die vs the food that fed many people through the war? Does not compute.

The reason why I asked these Q's was that I guessed that:

1. If you start early in life with it, you're more likely to LOVE it.
2. Northerners prefer it more than Southerners.

I'll need to collate the results sometime
