Marmite

I have tried it & thought it was AWFUL. WAAAAYYY too salty for me. However, it smells good. Typically I make everything super-low sodium so even if I found a use for it, it would be a rare occasion... but that said,

Has anyone ever used Marmite instead of soy sauce or tamari to impart that salty, umami quality without imparting an Asian flavor?

I'm not looking for suggestions on what to spread it on- it is most obviously an acquired taste and it tastes so overwhelmingly salty to me that that's just not going to happen. But its nice, yeasty fragrance makes me think it has potential in small amounts in recipes.

Thanks!

I have found it great for asphalt repair and also for waterproofing the basement. Other than that, not much help.

Well we don't have a basement and our driveway is concrete, so I'm getting desperate! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
