In this morning, I met a co-worker at the kitchen in the lab. He was just preparing his breakfast. "Oh, good morning Astro_yoshi." "Good morning!" "By the way, have you ever eaten ‘Marmite’?" He showed me a small bottle, which label showed ‘Marmite’. "I haven’t. What’s this?" "It’s quite traditional food in the UK. It tastes salty. We always schmear it on the bread. The taste is so unique. Some British like it but the others hate it. No neutral. Do you want to try it?" "Is it traditional British food? So I have to try it." "OK. It is a test for you to get used to life in the UK." The Marmite was brown cream, looks like a chocolate cream. Although it looked desirous, it smelled little bit strange. He gave me a toast covered with marmite. I ate it. "Hum... It’s not so bad, at least." I had eaten whole peace of the toast with marmite. Not so bad, not so good.... "Are you OK?" "Not so delicious. But I can eat it." "You have passed the exam!" I raised my level of living in the UK!
