Marmite and Vegemite are acquired tastes, true, but I’m glad I acquired them (and it didn’t take very long…hm, what was it, about two tastes?).
Actually I think they started out as B-vitamin supplements, which is still one of their major selling points. The torula yeast extract on which they’re based is a common flavoring agent these days, adding a meaty taste to everything from nacho cheese flavored tortilla chips to taco meat.
