The woman in the comments below that is excellent. IT'S NOT A PROPER JOB HE HASN'T GOT A PROPER JOB IT'S NOT A PROPER JOB. Like jeez how can you be so detached from how our government and politics actually work...

E: Feck, um, 583 - Emperor Maurice decides to end the annual tribute to the Avars, a mounted people who have swept across Russia and threatened the Balkan Peninsula. They capture the cities of Singidunum (modern Belgrade) and Viminacium (Moesia).

Just driving by to see these blatant attacks on the American diet which I will admit can be lethal or at best misguided but I recently tried marmite for the first time and sweet Jesus that stuff tastes like battery acid you put on toast. Probably healthier though I may accept if the facts back it up.

I haven't looked at the nutritional contents.

Chocolate and cheese go well together, decided a crazy person one day.

A while back an attempt was even made to introduce chocolate cheese spread. I remember being given a a sample to try in the supermarket, my visible grimace probably upset the brand rep.

I remember having this, but I've no recollection of what it was like.

Chocolate and Stilton go together surprisingly well, I went to a beer/cheese pairing at Meantime and their chocolate porter went amazingly with stilton.

As others have said, spread it thinly. But to be honest, if you didn't grow up with Marmite then the chances of you ever liking or even tolerating it are pretty slim.

Not going to lie, the pretzels, peanut butter, caramel and chocolate Ben & Jerry's is my favourite one.

Also chocolate cheesecake is delicious if you make it right, you heathens. I tried the Marks & Spencers one at one point and it's the best produced version you can buy off the shelf.

I think it's great that both Britain and Australia can convince people to consume industrial process waste by marketing it along love it or hate it or nationalistic lines, and it gives me an idea to get the British steel industry back on track.

Only in Britain do people pay a tenner for a jar of powdered slag and then blow it down their dickhole with one of those plastic balloon pumps with pictures of clowns on, love it or hate it rite lads!

I hated it until I deliberately set out to acquire the taste for it when I was 17 or so. The trick, as pointed out above, is to start with a thin film of it and plenty of butter.

It's weird that bovril is actually classed as a drink in most supermarkets, it's in a different section to marmite.

Bovril is a juice concentrate, like blackcurrant or orange but cows. The yeast version is bad.

e: I like salmiakki, but it goes against most of what I was told about putting ammonia salts in your mouth.

Just spread your vegemite VERY thinly. Like paper thin.

Otherwise your first bite will be rather interesting. Once you're used to it spread as much as you like.

Keto is good for dropping fat but it's insanely expensive and you'll have a lot of weird meals. It also doesn't go well with weightlifting. Its also very difficult to do properly.

Oddly enough marmite is a godsend if you're cooking veg food. Lather it over TVP mince etc before cooking (I use a bit of soy sauce and liquid smoke too) to really get the umami meat substitutes tend to be short on.

Yeah, this. I tried it a few years ago and I became stick thin, but it's not much use for anything else, and it's a real bitch. You may also give yourself gallstones.
