Sprouts and Marmite

posted by [personal profile] bugshaw at 07:42pm on 19/12/2007
In Brussels sprouts I have found another food on which opinion is strongly divided.

[Poll #1108706]

NB: You may assume the sprouts are prepared to a good standard, i.e. not overcooked mush (unless you like overcooked mush in which case you may assume that they are prepared that way).
The option "Sprouts and Marmite" refers to sprouts and Marmite individually, not (necessarily) sprouts with Marmite.

It strikes me that I may be dissing marmite unnecessarily. I haven't tried it for many years.

My vote, not M's. He does not like Marmite, or at least is unwilling to try it (again?) to find out. We can actually both bear sprouts if shredded and stir fried lightly, preferably with bacon, but I couldn't say I like them.

I don't fall into the Marmite "love it or hate it" dichotomy; it's not something I particularly like all that much, but have been known to munch marmite twiglets if they're in front of me, and when I've had marmite on toast as an experiment, again, it's OK, but not really my thing.

I can't choose... I like sprouts and I don't dislike Marmite but I don't like it either. I would never bother to buy it, but I might have it on toast at a hotel breakfast or something.

Marmite is vile and disgusting, but ok to use in cooking and twiglets are yummy.

Sprouts, I'm with you 100%. I used to hate them until I discovered they didn't need to be fœtid, mushy, yellow-green lumps of sadness. Fresh, and cooked properly, they're wonderful.

I thought I hated sprouts, and many other types of vegetables. Then I discovered this was purely because I'm a child of the seventies when vegetables had to be cooked for at least a fortnight, preferably in a pressure cooker, until all taste, nutrition, texture and colour had long since got up and left. Properly cooked, yum.

I love Marmite, and I quite enjoy a decently-cooked sprout, but alas the sprouts don't like me very much. IBS-- :[
