I didn’t find it so bad either. I had some at a friend’s engagement party. She married a Kiwi and had toast points win Vegemite on them as a snack.
Now I’d like to try Marmite someday. Is that slightly better?
According to post 69, Marmite has meat in it. I’ve never had it. My sister-in-law is English; maybe I’ll remember to ask her next time I see her.
