Marmite and other great debates
Right simple question, but feel free to add to the list other things that also polarise otherwise right thinking people.
My first entry on that list has to be The Turner Prise, and "Shed-Boat-Shed" in particular.

Marmite is delicious, good for you and irreplaceable. My Mum regularly brings in her luggage when she comes to visit.
If calories are not an issue : marmite & peanut butter sandwiches, otherwise on hot buttered toast - makes wonderful soldiers !
On the other hand, both my children loathe the stuff - apparently you have to love it before the age of 3, otherwise it's too late ... I did try, but not easy when their father said it looked like axle grease and tasted like ****.....

She also suggests adding a slice of cheese to turn it into a real gastronomic treat.
Urrgh! I'd rather have wallpaper paste and Swarfega.....
