cruzinlady1947 Posted May 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm confused....what does this have to do with cruising? :confused: Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodycruising Posted May 23, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) If you have tried it and don't like it, why would you have it again???? I am a vegemite fan, and would highly recommend it on toast (must be spread pretty thin!) and Dutch dark chocolate hail/sprinkles on top. Yummmm. Vegemite is an acquired taste and I think it is best acquired while growing up. I don't think I have ever heard of an adult acquiring the taste. If you don't like it, don't keep trying it. That goes for vegemite or marmite. They are unlikely to change the formulas! :D How does it relate to cruising? Well if you are on a ship and see it, be wary, if you haven't had it before you may not like it. Also do not spread it thickly. Never ever.

jticarruthers Posted May 23, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Love it but definitely an acquired taste from childhood. Got my son hooked, my wife cant stand it though :) Vegemite isn't the same ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH2508 Posted May 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Marmite and strong cheddar cheese sandwiches - lovely. Marmite on buttered crumpets - delish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull1130 Posted May 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm confused....what does this have to do with cruising? :confused: Gwen :) I see it in the Windjammer on every cruise, maybe I'll try it next time....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlady1947 Posted May 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I see it in the Windjammer on every cruise, maybe I'll try it next time....... I'll pass, thank you. But, I will check it out on my next cruise. I've cruised over 30 times and never saw it. Of course, I never looked for it either.:p Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squadron Posted May 23, 2014 #19 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I always try it but don't like it.....Who likes it? My British born husband loved it! In Britain kids eat it on toast - much like vegemite to Australians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merly Posted May 23, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Marmite and cheese. Marmite with egg or beans on toast. Delish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacruiser Posted May 23, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Ok, I'll bite: what the heck is marmite?? And what does it look like? If it's been in the WJ on all my cruises I obviously have no idea what I'm looking at. Evidently not something common to Louisiana cuisine...:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's been in the WJ on all my cruises I obviously have no idea what I'm looking at. Evidently not something common to Louisiana cuisine...:rolleyes: It is a yeast extract made from the excess yeast from the beer brewing process. It is quite salty but it also is apparently quite high in the 5th taste type - umami. It is almost black in colour and you are supposed to spread it thinly as it has a very strong taste (I spread it thickly but then I'm a go for it type of guy). There is nothing really to compare it to taste-wise. A good addition to a stew as well. I adore the stuff though many hate it - it is part of their advertising campaign - 'you love it or hate it'. I was brought up on it and have a collection of Marmite jars and each of the speciality types as well (Guinness, Champagne etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacruiser Posted May 24, 2014 #25 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Well, ok then..."nutritional yeast". Sounds like something that maybe came out of the war rationing years? Is it a breakfast thing (on toast) or a snack thing? Or maybe if you are reduced to eating yeast it's just pretty much anytime??? (Sorry -- didn't mean to offend any marmite aficionados. You'd probably think what we do with crawfish is weird, too.) Will be going on Navigator in August, so will check the WJ for it (although I'm betting that it would be a hard sell to a shipload of southerners!) Thanks for expanding my condiment vocabulary!!
