RPS and Warspite won.

Ya ain't a true Brit unless ya loike Marmite.

Marmite are great! Especially when you mix them with rice!

Warspite exudes so much superiority that you just naturally lose.

Marmite is essentially a mildly reprocessed sludge of yeast scrapped off the bottom of fermentation tanks after brewing bear, and yes it's outright referred to as sludge. They're basically selling you shit that the brewer would otherwise literally throw out in a dumpster.

Sounds Delicious right?

Well it's apparently good enough to remain popular after almost a century...

I've never used Marmite before, but I've used the Australian version Vegemite for making Empanada filling for my aunt's bakery in Sydney, and it was quite good, with a flavor I can't replicate without it here in the Philippines.

And eggs are chicken periods.

Marmite is awesome, especially when caramelized at high heat during stir-fries and BBQ.

You haven't done ribs with marmite before? Now you'll want to try. 2:1 mix of bbq sauce/worchen sauce and vegemite does wonders.

I like how Warspite's face is all "right then, let's get this dusted and sorted out" without a care.

I don't know why but Warspite face here really look gorgeous and cute with the face " okay ? "

... Marmite ain't that bad, but I wouldn't eat it straight for sure. It tastes like beef bouillon cube, after all.

And lots of other things that we eat that are actually pretty gross once you think about what it actually is but we still eat it anyway.

Don't forget the bee vomit also has some plant sperm in it.

Incidentally, bread is fluffy thanks to yeast farts, and you get a kick out of drinking beer because yeast has been peeing in it.

Oooh, speaking of bread, I remember reading an article on how when they process the flour and such from wheat, the process can't filter out everything, so chances are when you eat that slice of toast there are some insect parts still inside the bread.

The more you know!

Speaking about insect parts, carmine/cochineal (E120) is a natural red food coloring mostly used for candies and sugary drinks.

It's made out of crushed insects. So yeah, bug juice.

On the bright side, hey, it's safer than a lot of synthetic dyes (unless you're the poor sap who just happens to be allergic)! Natural and 'green' to boot!

It's one of those foods that you 'like' because you're supposed to as a national as much as anything else. It's actual value as a tasty food stuff beyond it's cultural associations is... questionable. I've seen some evidence it might have a place in a manner similiar to soy or fish sauce, used sparingly in larger recipes as a background note but the problem is it's marketed as a spread and I would consider both of the above gross too if consumed largely raw or as the dominate flavor in something and I wouldn't advise splashing either over a slice of toast.

I've never used Marmite before, but I've used the Australian version Vegemite for making Empanada filling for my aunt's bakery in Sydney, and it was quite good, with a flavor I can't replicate without it here in the Philippines.

Vegemite isn't actually the same thing, it's different recipe. Which is better is an argument the madmen that ascribe to one or the other will never settle but all agree there is a difference.

NNescio said

Well I wouldn't have a problem with it if it didn't taste like crap when eaten in the prescribed manner according to basically anyone not born on a mopey north Atlantic isle, or a spider and snake infested land in the bottom corner of the world, but the fact it's wretched AND produced from a disgusting waste product is just icing on the cake. :p

Marmite is fine, not great, but not bad, for me it's actually not too bad of an eat.

Also there are tonnes of food which can become questionable when you really think hard about them, in fact, certain national dishes become horrifying productions when you smell or hear how it's produced, such as Hakarl meat, ammonia smelling shark meat, laid out for over months to become so smelly that they are required to produce it away from civilisation, and Surströmming, herring that is fermented with half the salt actually needed to cure it, and thus becoming this horrifying production that smells so bad that people have been known to sue over it.

Arguably I haven't tried either, and in actual fact apart from the latter, I probably won't mind trying, although I'd rather not have to smell ammonia again.

I've tried marmite before. It's good for flavoring things, b/c it has a strong taste. I would compare it somewhat to soy sauce.

neither of which you'll want a mouthful of in pure form though.

Same here.

What's wrong with Marmite? I like it much that i sometimes eat it without any addition.

Apparently it's too "strong" for American sensibilities.

I blame warspite queen's luck~

Toast, Marmite, thin slices of cheese on top.

It's perfect energy food if you're stick of sweet stuff.

It's... an acquired taste.

This sums everything up here.

Everyone just says anything they want about each other's breakfast, but no one's gonna start living off pills packed with chemically synthesized nutrients starting tomorrow. (At least I think so)
Not meat, though. I heard witnessing animals getting butchered can turn people into vegetarians FOR LIFE. Not that I saw one personally.

Bottom line: A lot of people have to go through a lot of unpleasant things to produce what goes onto your table each day, so be grateful!

I've seen that first hand, slaughterhouses I mean, even dida bit of hunting during a cadet exercise and skinned it back (when I was only 13). Didn't ruin my appetite none, thought it was actually a good thing to know how my food was being processed, you give more respect to it that way.

If anything, getting to see the slaughterhouse actually made me more appreciative of my food. When you fail to finish off that big ass plate of buffet, it means some animal lost their life in vain as leftovers that will never benefit another person who should've been given the chance to eat it. I've since been buying just enough food to satisfy my hunger and hold off on binge-buying food that would otherwise needlessly rot away in the fridge. I also don't pile stacks on my plate during meals anymore.

Though I guess this kind of thing varies from person to person. I feel that it makes me more respectful of food. And strengthen my "omnivore" mindset.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts about butchered meat, since I get to see chicken and pigs slaughtered and chopped to different parts live in the wet market here where I live, just to show the meat there are freshly prepared. Not that seeing the slaughtering and butchering process is any fun, mind you.

WhiteCrow said:

Somehow this reminds me of the journalist who got PTSD from firing a gun (or at least that's how internet spread it).

I agree that knowing how your food is prepared will change how you view them, in one way or another. Like, my friend never touched chicken nugget after watching that video of how it was made, while I still eat it, just not as often.

Side note, were any of you guys forced to dissect an animal for a high school biology experiment?

NNescio said:

No, only components; cow hearts, sheep's eyes - that sort of thing. Then again, I didn't take biology past the 2nd year of high school; went for physics and chemistry instead (we could choose ourselves).

NNescio said:

Frog (田鸡 to be specific), chicken heart, and we were suppose to dissect (or at least watch the dissection) cow eyes, but my teacher couldn't get it. I had also seen the end result of a dissected rat.
Which reminds me of my teacher's famous line:"Don't be afraid, that's how your innards looks like"

NNescio said:

My major is in biology. I dissect animals nearly every day when I was doing my regular coursework.

That includes fish, frogs, chicken, roaches and various other animals. I'm also the guy that has to kill them, too, since everyone else is too squeamish and tends to hold the test subjects too lighty, making them squirm all over the place and increases the animal's stress.

I don't enjoy it, so I get it done as quickly and painlessly for them as I can. Mistreatment is just malicious.

Exactly what I had, even the cow eyes, we even had the chance to touch it before the teacher dissects it in front of us. It felt somehow jelly-like.

So you were naturally okay with dissecting them or you got used to it?

Anyone who decries marmite as disgusting has obviously never starved to the point of eating mud cookies just to get the sense of having something in their stomach.

NNescio said:

All the things I dissected looked delicious to me.

Though the preservative smell was off-putting and sadly they're not edible after the lab is finished.

The fact that I see squirrels passing by and have an impulse to grab one by the tail and whip it into the ground repeatedly, then eat it is a bit worrying.
Then again it's like that U-511 4koma that talks about her liking rabbits... then talking about catching them in the mountains and eating them.

OMGkillitwithfire said:

Frankly speaking, I'm still not used to it after all these years. It's a necessary evil, otherwise no one would do it. You could say that I was the guy willing to get blood on my hand rather than see someone else mess it up and get blood all over everyone.
