I’m having a whirlwind love affair with Marmite. It all started last week when I read about special Guiness Marmite that’s available in the UK in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. I’ve never had Marmite before, but a salty spread to put on bread sounds delicious and since I like my fare share of pungent things (kim chi, stinky tofu, fermented bean curd, miso) I wasn’t really scared of Marmite.

The day after I mentioned Marmite to the BF, someone at work brought in a tube of Vegemite to go along with some bagels! What are the chances of that? I put a little dab of it on my Taiwanese rice roll that morning and I was hooked. Since then, I’ve been looking all over the place for either Marmite or Vegemite.

I think Cost Plus used to carry Vegemite, but stopped because of some recall Kraft had about it where there was a misunderstanding about it containing some type of Vitamin B. I finally got a hold of a small jar of Marmite last week and had some on a buttered English muffin this morning and it was delicious. Now I’m wondering how it would taste as part of a seasoning for some grilled tofu.
