It's a thick paste to be spread very thinly on bread and butter, or toast and butter, and is definitely something you have to be born to. Unfortunately I didn't accustom Anne and her sister to it early enough in life. I'll have to start our grandson on it on his 2nd birthday, about to be celebrated (though after tasting Marmite he may refuse to celebrate....).
