My mother and auntie love marmite on toast. I can't stand the smell and refuse to even try to eat it. Ick!
Now on the other hand I love anchovy paste on toast with mushrooms. My husband and daughter eat it but my son refuses to even try.
He said the worst thing on the tea table when he was in England was Patum Peperium (Gentleman's Relish)....anchovy paste. I love that stuff!
As the saying goes 'There's no accounting for taste said the old maid as she kissed the cow.'
