marmite~ a frontier my friends tried to convince me into, but I was too afraid

If you ever dig up the courage, try toasting some bread, buttering it, putting on a *thin* layer of either Vegemite or Marmite, and then some cheddar cheese. The cheese mellows it out and balances it — good for your first time. Thanks for the comment!!
