Yeast paste, loved by many Brits as is it’s Australian cousin Vegemite.
Intersting. I didn't know the British have foreign food. I cannot tell what it tastes like but I like the taste.
Why else do you think they conquered the world?
It's a by-product of brewer's yeast. Original Marmite used Bass brewery yeast. Not sure if they still do or not.
Marmite is the devils spread. Absolutely vile stuff that tastes of despair and disillusionment.
The marketing campaign has always been love or hate. There’s no middle ground apparently. Safe to say I know which camp I’m in.

Love the stuff in moderation. The wifey thinks I'm insane for liking it. Of course I liked brown sauce more than ketchup when I first tried it so take that for what it's worth.
Originated in the UK and "spread" throughout the empire (when it had one). One lick will give you your daily requirement of salt !
Adding a small amount (1/2 a teaspoon) to a stew or casserole will enrich the flavour enormously because it is so full of umami goodness

G'day mate, down under do you an ace time with Marmite or do you think it makes someone an unhealthy bugger?
Really?
The national dish of England is no longer Roast Beef (hasn't been for donkeys years); it's Chicken Tikka Masala, a dish created in England by 'Indian' chefs which became so popular it's even been introduced to India by ex-pat Indians living in England. 'Indian' in inverted commas because the majority of Indian restaurants in the UK are actually Bangladeshi...
Now pubs and restaurants are re-opening in England (different lock rules in Scotland, NI and Wales) I'm sure people will start spending their Saturday evenings in the time honoured fashion of a few drinks in the pub with friends followed by a Ruby (*); or Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Italian, etc.

Anyway, Marmite and Vegemite (and NZ Marmite) - they are all slightly different - are the Food of the Gods.
Despite being brought up in England I actually prefer Vegemite but would settle for whichever I can get if I ever find a supply in São Paulo! Sunday isn't Sunday without scrambled eggs on toast and Vegemite.
And the ultimate comfort food? Vegemite soldiers dipped in a runny soft boiled egg

Nope. Just mentioned Chicken Tikka Masala in response to the 'foreign food' bit.
Pizza is foreign to some maybe even Italians people.
