Edit
Marmite is a dark, brown food paste made of Yeast extract and originally from the United Kingdom.
Due to Marmite's distinctive, salty and powerful savoury flavour, it has a reputation for being a "Love it or Hate it" food since people either love or hate the taste. Marmite is popular in the UK, Commonwealth nations and some South East Asia countries since the paste is used as a savoury condiment for rice porridge.
See also Vegemite, a similar paste also made from yeast extract from Australia albeit Marmite's yeast extract comes from Brewery Yeast while Vegemite is made from a combination of brewery yeast, vegetables and spice additives.
Similar looking to sweet jams from other countries and cultures, more than one foreign tourist has been unpleasantly surprised by its extremely sour and salty flavor....
