There's not a British baby boomer, who ate the school meals, had a kind word for frogs spawn.
Officially known as tapioca pudding, ours had currents, or maybe they were raisins, whatever they were, it was gross.

Ummm! I love fresh homemade tapioca pudding. Especially the larger ones. I didn’t care for the currants or raisins either. My mom made some fairly nice puddings like rice pudding.

Marmite, we never had it in our home, but I've always thought to myself, what is it, and what drives people to eat it.

What is it anyhow... a byproduct of some iron and ore producing factory?
A byproduct of some manufacturer that produces grease and lubricants for autos?
Ground-up arborite from old kitchen counters?

I mean really, is there not anything in the food groups that people could alternatively reach for.

"I think I'll have some meconium on my bread/toast". 🤮

What is Marmite?​

Marmite is a savoury spread, which was originally invented by German scientist Justus von Liebig in 1902. The scientist invented it in the UK when he discovered that brewers’ leftover yeast could be concentrated, bottled and eaten. So that’s beer and Marmite for everyone! Bass Brewery was the original providers of the yeast for Marmite.

In 1912, it was discovered that Marmite was a great source of vitamin B, so the British troops fighting in World War I were issued jars of the stuff as part of their rations. And during the 1930s, English scientist, Lucy Willssuccessfully used Marmite to treat anaemia in mill workers in Bombay, India, thanks to the folic acid in it.

Marmite was used to treat malnutrition by Suriya-Mal workers during the 1934–5 malaria epidemic in Sri Lanka.

So basically, Marmite has super powers!

That’s taken from the internet. We had it at our home as a child and it’s a horrible, bitter, paste that people used to spread on bread or toast.
To each their own but it wouldn’t be something you’d see in my own house.B1E1C11D-5B84-4E2B-A319-70F5103B1C0D.jpeg

Then again, it might be used for cooking some fabulous recipes but I think I’d literally gag every time I saw it. I hated the stuff as a kid. Lol
