People who tried this
“Holy shit it was good. Had a thin layer of it on buttered toast. The first bite caught me off guard because the flavor wasn’t what I expected, but then that funky back-end came through and I ran a goddamn train on it. The flavor kind of reminds me of certain strong, funky cheeses.”
“It smells like that smell you smell when you open a bottle of vitamins. As an American who tried it when I visited Australia, the flavor is about the same, IIRC. I couldn't get past the odor and the color.”
