NZ marmite (and Japanese fondness for twiglets)
A Kiwi friend put some on toast for me once. I have to confess, I thought it was vile.
I do really like UK Marmite and have a fondness for Vegemite in moderation (I’d like to try the Swiss kind one day) but the New Zealand Marmite was unexpectedly horrible!
Marmite and twiglets are universally loathed by my Spanish family and friends. But when I’ve taken both to Japan, Marmite was rejected but twiglets proved very popular. Yeast extract is one of the main flavours of twiglets.
