An American living in Scotland rates British foods. She likes crumpets. She does not like Marmite.

Indeed. Real marmite-lovers will settle for their fingers and the jar.

Or maybe that's just me.

It isn't just you.

I'm going to have some for breakfast, just to spite her. HAH! That'll show the bitch.

We did a poll at a Milford workshop to see how many people actually loved Marmite (it's never just 'like'), in response to an American's query of: what is it? To which a British friend answered that in her opinion, it was the scrapings from the Devil's butt crack, but that view varied widely.

By the way, I'm glad to hear that Sid's doing well (I've been following the pointers from fjm's journal).
