I've heard American college students include it in college
initiation/torture rites.  It's a sinister, salty black spread of
yeast-like extraction (and before you protest, no, it's *not* the same
as the British Marmite and Promite: pallid imitations at best) which
should be used *sparingly*, with lots of butter, on toast and dry
biscuits (US=crackers?).  If you were in the US, it might be worth
slipping some thickly spread dry biscuits in for the amusing EW!
factor, but I suspect English children have been initiated with Marmite,

As an American I can say, "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!  THIS STUFF IS SO
GROSS!"  It really is.  I don't see how anyone can stomach the stuff
(Vegemite).

But Nutella is to die for. :-D *which reminds her she has some in the
cabinet to eat for snacking*
