ok, now what is tamari, and don't say Monday....ar ar ar

When you say some detest it some love it I think of garlic, my dad forbed it in

the house when I was a kid, and I just couldn't ever see why cause it's my most

favorite cooking aroma.

I don't know what tamari is. Is it sweet?

blessings,

All I know is it is yeast extract. It is a pasty black substance,

that I suppose you could say tastes sort of like tamari if you made

it a paste. I have been told by those I've cajoled into trying it

(those who've not had it & can get beyond the smell, which oddly

some just detest, personally I think it is glorious) that it is an

acquired taste. I think marmite is stronger than vegemite - which I

think may have more veggies added?

 

It is marvelous on buttery toast - you spread it pretty thin. It is

also nice as a sandwich spread - I like vegemite better as a

sandwich & spread it a bit thicker.

 

It is not at all well known in the US, though I can find it at local

stores...though you never know where, cuz I don't think they know

what it is! International stores will have it.

 

Which makes me think of this...do any of you have as much fun as I

do at regular grocery stores stumping the checker?? I buy things I

think are typical, like kale, parsnips, seitan, etc...but so often

the checkout kid has no idea what it is!
