haha .. haven't tried marmite for a few years. Melted butter on the toast might help. Obviously need to use a very thin scoop to spread delicately.

I guess you could always have toast in one hand, a teaspoon of marmite in the other & taste each after each other.

Likewise UKBob .. that is about what it is .. but tastes great. We had a locally made version only findable at special food outlets .. is even better.

Heinz over here also, I buy both/either Heinz tomato & ketchup .. depending on my mood at the time, alternating. Ketchup is not quite as sharp in flavor as tomato sauce, but both very very similar.
