So, let me get this right: you're not keen on Marmite, then?

A brief and possibly unrepresentative poll taken at breakfast at a Milford some years back revealed a divide (possibly more of a gaping fire-filled chasm) between those who love this particular spread, and those who do not. I recall one person who has access to this LJ remarking that it is, in fact, 'scrapings from the Devil's butt crack.'

I disagree. Although other yeast pastes are indeed disgusting, including the low-salt version. I just about got my head round Vegemite at one point, but that was under compulsion.

So, a poll:

No two yeast extracts that I have ever tasted are even remotely similar. However, I no longer buy Marmite because of the corporate and salt angles. We use hippy low-salt yeast extract in cooking, and I can now occasionally tolerate it on bread with plenty of olive oil spread.
