I haven't eaten it for over a decade....then I saw it hidden on a low shelf in Whole Foods and I had to have it. Now I am once again addicted to this borderline disgusting delicacy. Have to stop eating it so close to bedtime though...that stuff gives you mad crazy dreams....I think it's the vitamin B6. Last night I dreamed I was in this wacky House Of Fun at a party in which I met almost everyone I'd ever known, and I felt weird all of today.

Borderline disgusting? Gives you crazy dreams? Makes you feel weird all the next day? I can see why you're addicted to it. :)

Recently found this at our nearest Whole Food.

 
It's one of the prime ingredients you need to make a poutine - one of Quebec's favorite junk dish. It's basically just french fries, cheese curds and brown gravy. While it's hard to find the right french fries and the right gravy, the missing ingredient is pretty much always cheese curds. 
 

 
Since we've shared the good news w/ our Quebecers friends here in Vegas, it looks as if Whole Food cannot keep up w/ the demand.
 
Not that I'd start making my own regularly, mind you. I eat one poutine a year when we visit Quebec, and that's as much as I dare include in my diet. But I sometimes like to eat a few of those curds.

The 'poutine' looks quite appetizing. I would have no troubles trying that. Now the Marmite is questionable. Do you spread that on bread, toast perhaps?

I must be a freak of nature...
 

 
 
I don't mind it to be honest, but I certainly don't lurve it or hate it.

I remember when I first moved to Australia and someone gave me toast with Vegemite...
 
I was about to slap then silly before I realized that my urge to spit was much greater than my anger.
 
 
I still blame them for it...

I find marmite is best spread on either toast or Ryvita.

It's funnier if you put it on a cat's nose.

I've tried Vegemite, too.  Nasty stuff.  Is it different from Marmite?
