When you look, "Oh sweet, Chocolate?" Wow!! But...smell.. Terrible!! What an incredible review Since the beginning of time which was about 2 years ago Literally everyone has been asking me what do Japanese People think about Marmite For those of you unfamiliar with Marmite it's a popular British food,
well-known to polarize opinions People either tend to love it or hate it due to its very distinctive acquired taste And that's because it's made from Yeast Extract a by-product of brewing beer Which sounds promising
because it has the word "beer" in it until you look at what it actually looks like Some sort of Brown PVA Glue And it smells like.....the definition of awful But! when spread on things like toast or put in sandwiches in small amounts it is quite bearable Bearable to the point of being pleasant And because it is quite salty
and in many ways a bit like soy sauce I thought it might be quite popular in Japan So after I was able to get hold of some,
curiosity got the better of me and I finally went out to see what some Japanese friends made of it Not only boosting relations
between UK and Japan in the process but also inventing a whole new dish altogether and one that was of questionable quality And when i look back at the whole thing it seems like it seems to go through 5 stages Stage One: Confusion Marmite? Have you ever heard of Marmite before? I've never! Really? it's a very famous British food Chocolate? It's like Chocolate Have you ever heard of Marmite? No, first time First time? First time! First time? First time! Drugs! Like a drug smell Like Drugs? What's that? Oooh, good!! Look at it, oh sweet, chocolate! Wow! But, smell... Terrible! So yeah, have a try! Scary? Yes....because first time Stage Two: Unanimous Abject Horror Good? Not good, not good You're making it look like torture Unbelievable I don't... Very salty Like Chocolate? NOT like Chocolate!! Finished? Finished! I don't need it Stage Three: Unanimous Dislike Broken Your face is broken? Toast + Marmite equals....YUM! Yum.....not Yum! So, on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 very bad, 10 very good), what number? ONE! Only one? Zero! 1 is very bad, 10 is very good, what number? Three Do you..you can be in the new Marmite Commercial Ah yeah! Maybe you can lie! Oh Marmite!! Good Taste!!! First time, it had a very bad taste Oh yeah, again and again then again, again, again, don't stop And I dream "Oh Marmite!!" Oh Marmite!!
