Does anyone else know about this disgusting assault on the senses? In Australia it's called Vegimite, but it's the same toxic mess. It's a British "sandwich spread" that tastes and smells like a yeast infection. It's madly popular in the UK and my parents and their social circle who lived through a World War and therefore considered pork roast drippings a delicacy couldn't get enough of it, but I'd have happily starved to death in the attic rather than even look at it. I still get Marmitemares over the stuff. Oddly enough, there is a lot of food that I thought I hated when I lived at home that I've come to realize in my adulthood that I rather enjoy. Strange things like Brussel Sprouts and Avocados and Spinach and kippers...I think I just used to assume that these things were gross because British people loved them and they were 'good for you' without giving them a fair shake. Maybe there comes a time when we should give old prejudices a little walk around the blog... Ohmigod, Marmite! Does anyone else know about this disgusting assault on the senses?

Maybe there comes a time when we should give old prejudices a little walk around the blog…
