MARMITE....Love it or hate it!!!


Have you ever heard of MARMITE???.
Well, if you go to the U.K, you can have the opportunity to taste this special food there!. And do you know what it is made from???
Marmite is made from beer brewing, and it is said that it is perfect for vegetarians. The British version is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty and savoury. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company´s marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it".
This product was originally British (1902), but a version with a different taste has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1919.
Well, you just have to taste it to savour some of the food which was invented in England!...
