Mother-in-law is a missionary's daughter, raised in British boarding schools, and I was forced to eat introduced to both Marmite and Vegemite upon dating her daughter. Learned to like them both, but I'll take Marmite if I have the choice.

Disgusting:
Consulting the web, the most important thing to know about Marmite is apparently that it is NOT Vegemite. So what is it? Basically, it’s beer yeast crap. Or more precisely, salty beer yeast crap.
To quote the site IloveMarmite.co.uk: “We are reliably informed that Marmite is made by adding salt to the waste-product produced by the yeast in the brewing process. The salt messes with the yeast cells and causes a reaction, resulting in the brown gloop called marmite.”
So the yeast, um... leaves waste... in a big vat. The brewer adds salt and a couple other ingredients, and bottles the resulting brown sludge into a jar to sell to happy Brits and Kiwis and insane Americans who write for food web sites.

Yes
Most days we had Weetbix with enough hot water poured on them to make them warm and soft, milk and sugar
Eggs sunny side up and bacon
Toast and butter and Marmite (or Mum’s homemade jam)
A cup of hot tea with milk and sugar..
That lot was my school mornings breakfast..
(Weetbix bricks are still made about the same as I had them. 1 inch X 1/2 inch X 3-4 inches. We would have 2 of them.)
