They Call it...Marmite!

Those of you who know me well know that I am not a picky eater.  I'm quite a foodie and love to try foods and dishes from all different types of cuisine.  My 'Will Not Eat' list is quite small and the number of foods on it can be counted on one hand.  However, I now have a new food to be placed on said list.  That food is...Marmite.
Jake and I repeatedly saw this little jar of sin at the grocery store and wondered if it was similar to Vegemite (which we also have never tried).  So, our host bought us a little jar to try.  The ingrediants are yeast extract (no, no, that was not a typo, I did indeed type yeast extract), salt (and plenty of it), B vitamins, spice extracts, celery extract, and other vitamins and minerals.  The consistency is that of a tacky, sticky, thick, brown goo.  The most common way to eat it we were told is to put it on toast with butter.  Ok, I like toast, especially with butter, this will be good.  The taste is indescribable, but I will do my best.  It tasted like a combination of roast beef au jus, with some bbq flavor and some beef bouillon cube thrown in there for good measure, and it's all been marinating in something quite sinister.  I wish I could have attached a picture of my face as it hit my tongue, but unfortunately the moment was not captured on film.  I'm sorry Marmite, I did want to like you, honest.  But, you are terrible, just terrible.
So, I now have an updated 'Will Not Eat' list as you will see below:
-Cantelope
-Jelly Beans
-Lime Jello
-Menudo
-Wheel Macaroni
-Marmite!

Til next time,
