Marmite. I had the displeasure as a child to mistake this for jelly when visiting relatives. It was a nasty surprise.
I'm hoping this is an American. I can't even imagine taking a huge spoonful thinking it's blackcurrant jelly.
It looks like "stoop" and I'm Dutch. So I expected high octane sugar... It was not. To this day I'm convinced it it made from the gunk thats left after refining oil.
They call it yeast extract.
What they don't admit is. Yeast it the nickname of an incontinent factory worker.
How do you mistake Marmite for jelly?
In the Netherlands we have something called stroop and this looks similar. I was very young 85 to 8 maybe) and did not know any better.
