How can one even contemplate a burger with no beetroot? Are you Scottish?

Knock off the beetroot stuff, folks! This thread is about Marmite, remember?

I have never understood the American revulsion at Marmite and Vegemite in a nation where Kraft makes millions of dollars every year selling Cheez Whiz.

Can a cheese warning be cumulative with other disruptive behavior?

Or does the cheese stand alone?

My marmite mixes nicely with 5 year old cheddar.

Running equal amounts of Spam and Velveeta thru a meat grinder does make a tasty spread to put on bread and then broil, however.

Hey, in my fridge I’ve got 30 year old cheddar, 12 year old cheddar, 5 lbs of 5 year old cheddar, 5 year old swiss, some smoked gouda, bleu, some specialty cranberry cheddar and dill jack, habanero jack, block stravecchio parmesan, and a nice big block of velveeta. What can I say?

At the risk of sending this hijack into CS territory, **kittenblue** once offered a marvelous restaurant recipe for a crocked cheese spread that was Velveeta, sherry, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and a little pepper all ground together. It’s magnificent.

Marmite is the Devil’s toe-jam, however.

It’ll get cleaned out the next time the whole family is together, in the traditional Mercotan cheese ritual. That stuff cost $6 per oz.

Do NOT bump this thread since it’s from 2007, but here’s [a link straight to the post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8649703&postcount=58), for the interested (like me).

If there was a thread that said, for example, “ **Qadgop the Mercotan** has been warned repeatedly for violations of cheese rules on the SDMB and is hereby placed on Double-Secret Probation,” it might tempt some of our weaker members into asking him about gouda, just to see if they could push him over the edge.

You gouda be kidding me - taunting is a time honored SD tradition.

And then there was the explosion at the French cheese factory. All that was left was de brie.
