Advantages: Everything

Disadvantages: Nothing - in my opinion!

Marmite - people say you either love it or you hate it. I happen to be in the love it category!

Marmite is a dark brown sticky substance that comes in various size of glass jars. It has a very strong taste and is quite salty. It can seem quite expensive when you first buy it but you will find (unless you're a complete marmite freak) that it will last for quite a while.

Apparently marmite is quite hard to find in shops outside of England so if you're planning a trip make sure you don't get left without it.

Marmite has many different uses. My favourite use is to spread it on toast, however don't make the mistake of spreading the same as you might spread jam or marmalade because it is very strong. I have heard of many other ways in which you can use it. If you add a small amount to a cup of hot water it makes quite a warming drink, you can also make a kind of stock out of marmite to use in your cooking. In the past I have had it as part of a toasted sandwich with a fried egg, I have also added some to the water when I ahve been cooking spaghetti and aslo added it to scrambled egg. It just gives it as extra kick!

My conclusion
Marmite is a very versatile substance that can be added to a whole range of meals. It has a very strong taste and so not everyone will like it but everyone should at least give it a try!

Summary: Truly scrumptious - try it with egg and spaghetti!
