>>7036051I will defend it by saying that it is supposed to be spread THINLY on your toast. I'm convinced that many people have a bad time with it cos they slap it on like it's jam or something. Not sure how well-known this is generally, but the fact that Marmite is so divisive has lead to it commonly being used as a descriptor in the UK for other things which people tend to either love or hate (as in, it's 'like marmite'). This was even for a while part of marmite's own marketing- 'you either love it or hate it', which seems pretty strange for any commercial product but there you go. Anyway, apply thinly to buttered toast for maximal deliciousness.
