L told me the other day she wanted to try 'Marmite' or 'Vegemite' as she's been learning about it in one of her classes at school. It turns out they actually sell it in our local grocery store, who knew? I found it in the baking section beside the yeast. So we had a taste of it, spread lightly on toast. But we didn't really like it. We even ended up melting some cheese on top. It has a salty taste, sort of like soy sauce. Well, it was worth a try.

Marmite, nice for porridge or marmite chicken.
PS: The dried prawns for the yam rice, you can soak it or if you don't want to , then just use a mortar and pestle to smash it a little so that they will be softer.
thanks Pete, think I'll soak them. I love purple sweet potatoes too. can't wait to try your purple 'avatar' rice recipe lol.
I have never heard of Marmite, but have heard of Vegemite, although I've never tried it.
Hey Christine
I have never tried it and I think since you are way more adventurous then I am and were not fond I am going to go with your review and I'll pass.
I've heard jokes told about Marmite and Vegemite. I thought I might like to try to see someday, but now, maybe not.
Well here is something I am definitely an expert on...Vegemite.
We Aussie's normally have our first taste of vegemite around 6 months old and by the time we are 2 years it is part of our staple diet. Also most Australians prefer Vegemite to Marmite.
I realise most 'foreigners' dislike the taste but downunder we are all happy little vegemites!
That 'Lifetracking' article was very interesting Christine and could certainly be very enlightening. I don't think I will go down that road though...way to time consuming.
soy sauce? A good description that. I LOVED it on my toast every day after school but now? Ewww. Too too salty. I'm with you.
LOL! Did you remember to use LOADS of butter? I like it on this sandwich: http://www.marmite.com/love/sarnies/ploughmans.html
