Its not bad. I grew up on marmite and vegimite (born in england) Its an aquired taste, and it hits you like a tonne of bricks the first time you try it.

I've tried Vegemite, made me wanna puke..

So this stuff is like vegemite combined with rotten beef?

I know some cultures like to eat rotted, decayed food.. fermented if ya want to try and justify it.. because they have to I reckon.. Kimchi, yeah..

But why eat that stuff if you don't have to?

Good Lord

Step away from the kimchi bashing. That's good stuff.

If you really want to try it you can find it at places like World Market. Any high end grocery store with a good ethnic (I would call the british very "ethnic") section.

I'm now missing it and i'm going out to find some, I'll let you guys know where I got it.
