It's iconic, it's more British than roast beef, and you ALL know the slogan.

I eat Marmite on toast at least once every other day. However, I have to admit, I don't actually like the taste of it, in fact, the only reason I like eating it is because it makes me feel a small amount of elevation.

Is that being addicted?
Does anyone else get Marmite craveings?

Oh and on another note, is it healthy?

hmm, I think there is somethign addictive in marmite. it may be that there is something in it that you lack in your diet? hence the craving..

Marmite is extremely good for you, it contains Yeast extract.. which is an exceptionally good source of many vitaimins and minerals including B vitamins.. great for vegetarians as meat is often the only sufficient source of B vitamins in the diet.

I like it.. in moderation though, I don't eat it every day.. but I am a vegetarian so I just take multivitamins as a top up instead.

marmite is disgusing and so is bovril spread. bovril drink on the other hand is rather nice.

Nope, yeast. Think it was the waste from the beer brewing process originally, but I could be wrong.

Bovril used to be made from cows but they changed to a 100% veggie recipe during that whole BSE thing.

If it was they should have left it there.

I'd go see a doctor if your shit looks anything like marmite.

'The Marmite connoisseur Lesley Dusart suggests that marmite can be used as part of a gravy and also suggests a recipe for the perfect marmite on toast:

Toasted bread
Lots of butter
Thin layer of marmite
(This can also be applied to cheese and marmite sandwiches) '

Marmite's my binge food. Along with peanut butter/philidephia on toast. I suppose that makes toast my binge food.

im vegetarian too. and nintendork's right. its a really good source of vitamins. maybe you're not getting enough B vitamins from dairy sources or something? if you're seriously worried, see a doctor or something.
