Perhaps you should not have started smoking when you were 11 and then you
would have some taste buds left

Hey! Can't let this pass without a work in defense of the stuff -
Marmite & Vegemite are GREAT!!! I grew up with them and at 62 I still
use the stuff and enjoy it. You gotta be tough to handle it though -
like we breed 'em in good ol' NZ.

Presumably they have/had the same function as Carter's Little Liver
Pills (i.e., nothing to do with the liver)?

And in the UK Andrews Liver Salts. Quite refreshing.

I was born in the '40s and don't think I ever had any of those
things (not even the dread cod liver oil, though I knew about it
from books, where it was axiomatic for medicinal nastiness, along
with asafoetida). What we did have was Zweibach and Pablum.

50's babies in the UK were known as Marmite babies.. it was
something we grew up with alongside malt syrup, rose hip syrup,
Ovaltine rusks and cod liver oil..

I've had one or the other--think probably it was Marmite (my
son-in-law is Jamaican and grew up with it). It's definitely an
acquired taste. g

Jay, Suzanne and others...

In my gratitude for the marvellous advice often given on here
I have often offered to send a jar of Vegemite from deepest
Australia with my compliments. I see in my newspaper today
that Vegemite is now illegal
in
the USA, so that's off now.

But greetings to all anyway.

PS: I tried disabling Norton's but it made no difference in
this case...
