Marmite... love it or hate it.

Before I go off on my Marmite tangent... I'd like to wish my good friend Audrey a very happy birthday tomorrow! Your card is in the mail, but won't make it in time.. I'm sorry 'bout that! Anyway, hope you are relaxing and gidget is staying nice and warm in your belly! :D

Okay.. now, onto the subject at hand.. Marmite. Now, I HATE marmite. Its like 13 day old motor oil, or (as a good friend of mine says) Petromalt. It does smell horrible, just like petromalt. ;)
John loves the stuff. Not a thin coating on his toast, but big thick globs of it. I always like it when he tries to get people to try it. Some are brave and try it, but many run from it after taking one whif of it. I wish I had my camera for the marmite faces.

My cat Winston, loves the stuff. Yes, the cat. He stares John down to get a taste of it on toast with butter. Yep, he eats it with the toast and all. Here is the proof - minus the toast. I couldn't waste good bread for this photo session..

winston and his Marmite.. notice he doesn't run


My finger with the marmite...


Winston tasting..


Winston digging in!


He was looking for more afterwards. I, had to go wash my hands after his treat. Usually, John gets me with a big marmite kiss about 10 minutes after he eats it. He cracks up because I always fall for it. Makes me so mad, and if I don't brush my teeth for a long time, followed by listerine, I'm tasting it for the rest of the day.

I promise not to kiss you after I've eaten Marmite then!!! LOL

Hmmmm, I can just taste it now - think I might have to go make me some toast and grab the jar from the cupboard! *L*

Bleccch!!! MARMITE!!!! It DOES look and small just like Petromalt (or Laxatone - take your pick!).

The stuff is dis-gus-ting! And I can still see the look on Stu's scrunched up face when John had him try it!! LOL!!! PRICELESS!!!
