In a totally unrelated brain cramp, I once introduced my three French nephews to peanut butter. One claimed he liked it; the older two reacted like scalded cats. They still mention it occasionally

My husband is from the UK and he loves the stuff. He also loves malt vinegar on his fish and chips and HP sauce on his shepherds pie

Just had a horrifying vision. Eeeeew.

Then I will not be suggesting the jellied eels for second course. Shlurp.

[SkyDancer]

Yum!

I eat malt vinegar on my fish and chips. Everyone looks at me like I am nuts. Lol

For those of us who have never sampled it but are curious, can someone please describe the taste.

[redhead]

Trying (not) to picture a piece of Sailor Boy smeared with Marmite. Oh noes!!!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Well, I won’t dwell on some of the things I’ve eaten when really hungry.

I am not quite sure but that sure looked like Judy from The Seekers, who jumped into the blob of marmite.

[beaversmom]

That’s the only way to eat it.

[Politicalmom]

H. Salt fish and chips....

We can’t afford them any more. :(

[Scoutmaster]

Like Coke and Pepsi

What is this "Pepsi" thing of which you speak?

[KosmicKitty]

I guess it’s an acquired taste - like lutefisck
