      +Miss Communication In Japanese culture wasting any sort of food is treated like a sin, even if it tastes bad. It is tenfold more so if it s food given to you (as opposed to prepared by yourself) because you are disrespecting a gift. Spitting food out is almost unimaginable unless it literally is spoiled and poisonous.

    I had similar reactions to sharing some Russian foods with my Asian (Chinese, Laotian, Thai) roommates when I first moved out on my own. They did not like the heaviness of the foods, the pungency of borsch, acidity of cabbage, and the abundant malt flavors in the bread and kvas.
    Asian cuisines tend to be rather light and mellow in tastes, and are very low in foods like breads and roots and so on. The Chinese guys did like vodka, because it was like their native baiju. They eventually learned to be okay with cabbage soup, provided I made it less strongly flavored (I also took to putting bamboo shoots and bean sprouts in it). Nobody ever came around to kvas, ogurtsy, hleb, chebureki, spraty, or borsch. Kompot was an instant hit, as were pelmeni and blinchiki.
    The heavier the food and overbearing its flavor, the less the Asians seemed to like it. Their foods are full of complex but light flavors. They don't have anything like borsch, where the whole thing is beet flavor surrounded by beets and a side of beets.

    You forgot to tell them that you don't get a good sense of marmite unless you eat 10 slices, and it's very rude not to eat all of them.
    Then wash it all down with a refreshing pitcher of marmiteade.

      I guess you eat 10 because your tongue goes numb so you don't actually have any taste after the first slice of bread?

    This looks like one of those Japanese games shows where they torture their contestants for cheap laughs.

      or is it because "once you drink this, you will never drink alcohol again out of fear that you will need to drink this for the next hangover"?

      False. Bovril (marmites beefed up cousin) makes a much better cure all.

    The funny thing is, they all eat it, even though they think it's awful. Here in the west we'd just throw it away.
