Here's a picture of the Marmite that my students gave me the other day. We were doing a unit on microbiology and we were trying to list microbial-made foods. Marmite is a yeast extract bread spread that tastes somewhere between salted fish and dead fish. It's really strong and not that great. Actually, the students told me that I ate it incorrectly the first time. You are suppose to toast the bread lightly, put on loads and loads of butter, and then a little dab (smaller than the size of a Canadian dime) of marmite. I'm thinking, if the amount that you need is, like, nothing than it can't be that good, right? If you need a bottle of marmite, you can have mine.
