Marmite is a brown, sticky spread made from yeast byproduct. The British ad slogan for the salty, polarizing spread is “love it or hate it,” and it is sometimes used as mosquito repellent. Sounds delicious, right? Apparently someone at Starbucks thinks so, because they put it in a Panini with melted cheese on ciabatta bread. It retails for 2.60 British pounds, which at the current exchange rate equals just north of $4 US.
Would we eat it: This one hinges entirely on which side of the marmite question you land. We’d be cautious, let’s just say.
