As 50% of the American pro-Marmite faction here, I have to say...
NO. Just NO.
There are some things you just DON'T have to try in order to know whether you love it or hate it.

I assume that this is the traditional prize at UK Easter Egg Hunts for the kid who finds the least eggs...

Or maybe a "prize" for the children who don't come at all? Throw in some vegemite flavored Kool Aid and I'd be pretty sure that was the intent.

My assumption is that this is not actually intended to be consumed; it's just some sort of gag novelty gift...

Got to admit, I tried the Marmite cashews and I didn't like 'em.
Besides, it's hell trying to get sufficient Marmite to balance on a cashew...

LOVED and hated in equal measure, Marmite always provokes a response. But now the controversial yeast spread is to feature in the legendary Westcountry dish – the pasty.
Warrens Bakery, based in the far West of the region, has come up with two new flavours that could revolutionise the meat and pastry staple.
The bakery is launching a Marmite and steak pasty and a Marmite and cheese pasty at the beginning of next month.
Jason Jobling, product development manager at Warrens, said: "Marmite is such a strong brand and people are either going to love it or hate it.
"Having said that, I'm not a Marmite fan but the cheese and Marmite pasty is amazing – I think it's one of our best products and I think it's going to do really well for us."
Mr Jobling said the launch on July 6 follows months of preparation and expert tastings to perfect the flavour of the speciality pasties.
He added: "We're always looking for new flavours and experimenting with new ingredients. The pasty craze is in full swing and we've looked at just about every other possibility."
Staff working in product development at Warrens started to experiment with Marmite recipes and realised they were on to something.
Mr Jobling said: "We sold the idea to Unilever, the owners of Marmite, and worked with their development chefs to get the right balance. A lot of work has gone into it but it's been worthwhile – it will be really interesting to see how people take to them."
The Marmite pasties will be on sale in Warrens stores across the South West from July 6.

I have a weakness for cashews; I can eat a whole can without any assistance at a single sitting...(so I try to avoid that level of temptation...)
Smearing them with Marmite might be just the sort of aversion therapy to break me of that addiction....
