Fancy A Guinness?

February 19, 2007 by: UKStevieB

Marmite Guinness Marmite and Guinness? Either a match made in heaven or your taste buds ultimate nightmare! Marmite is a yeast extract that Wikipedia describes thus:
Marmite is a British savoury spread made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. It is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful taste that polarises consumer opinion. This is reflected in the company's marketing slogan: you either "love it or hate it".
When I saw the article in my Google reader from BoingBoing about this I just had to click through to find out some more about it. ;-) Now this may not be to everyone's taste, but I must admit to a little tingle of excitement and anticipation at the sight of this Limited Edition marmite variant. Sure, they are acquired tastes, but ones well worth cultivating. Shame that it is only a limited edition. Thanks to Cool Hunting and The Sunday Times (sorry, I couldn't locate the original article).
