    I bet that title got you looking!

    I have a question for you.
    Silly really but here goes...
    I do believe that a person who likes spouts also likes marmite.

    So. do you like sprouts and marmite?

    Hate vegi-mite MF!
    Like you I was weaned on marmite amd while I was in the Far East all that was available was vegi-mite which I believe is the Australian version. It was ok.
    I now have the Tescos "Yeast Extract" a Marmite lookaliky with what appears to be less salt in it which suits me at the moment:gnthb:

    :D Yes vegi-mite is the Aussie one Robert, so yes you probably have had that out there.... As far as I am concerned it is nothing like Marmite...!! I have never tried Tesco's own, :( but it wouldn't be the same to me if it didn't come out of a Marmite Jar.... :dh: That I do know....:lollol:I tried a squeezable Marmite once...!!!! :( Way too runny & messy..!!! Worse than the traditional jars..!!! :( Plus, it doesn't spread properly....!!:doh:Yuk..!!!! Why do they have to mess about like that...!!!:cnfs:

    I'm not keen on marmite.:( Went mad on the stuff once when I was pregnant though.

    Apparentley its rich in vitamin B12, which I lack when I'm pregnant!!!

    Clever thing the human body.:wink:

    This is how much Mr 02 likes it.

    I love sprouts if they are cooked properly, not soggy.
    I hate Marmite.

    Sprouts I will eat and even enjoy if cooked properly and they are relatively early in the season. OH loves them though and insists we have them for as long as they are sold fresh.

    Can't stand marmite.
