Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

Now you see Cecil - that's what propaganda can do. Marmite is actually the only remaining item which is the subject of sanctions which were imposed following a little unpleasantness between our two great nations at the end of the eighteenth century. Our daily news is full of stories of illicit shipments being intercepted by revenue men in tricorn hats before they can reach your shores. If we would only lift the embargo you would all be flooded with the devine concoction and realise how much better your lives would be because of it. You see - that's what you get for being unfriendly

Here in the lab at work we had a Post-Doc from NZ for a year or two, and she tried introducing marmite to the lab. She enjoyed it on a toasted bagel.
Surprisingly enough, from Ian's perspective, she won no converts.
It must be one of those things that you need to be "raised on" in order to like. My parents were post-WWII immigrants from The Netherlands. For us it is salty black licorise. Try giving some of that to your friends and watch their faces pucker up.

ps: of course, I think coffee tastes like burnt ashes as well...

Scott, who has WAY to much time on his hands
Sometimes we see what we expect to see, and not what we are looking at! Scott

I love real licorise! It is also a good laugh to give a drinker of English Gin a shot of Dutch Genever, which is alledgedly what it is derived from - my eye!!!

Reading Ian's posts makes me think of Marmite's cousin - Vegemite. Folks in Oz think of it the way Ian does. I seem to remember seeing it on the shelf right next to the peanut butter.
For some it would definitely be an ... ummm ... er ... "acquired taste" is a polite term. I found it to be enjoyable, although I do prefer other spreads more.

Having tried Vegemite I would say more of a son on the distaff side than a cousin. And peanut butter (naturally only crunchy peanut butter would be acceptable to any gentleman) and marmite is a great delicacy. All you have to do is admit that you were wrong and we will lift the embargo

It doesn't seem to hold up all that well in low-humidity environments like we have out here.
What? Oh...sorry, I thought you were talking about using it as tub caulk.

Actually, Vegemite and (I'll assume) Marmite look, smell a bit like and definitely have a similar consistency to axle grease.It doesn't seem to hold up all that well in low-humidity environments like we have out here.

That explains it: easy to spread, but took forever to cure.

It figures that you would like it Andy. Rumor has it that Marmite is made from the remains in the beer vats--probably Gueniss--and allows them to sell what should have been thrown away. Maybe that's where Moxie came from too.Hey!
