- 2008, Antony Worrall Thompson, Paul Rankin, The People's Cookbook: A celebration of the nation's life through food:
  We've had unusual results with more familiar ingredients too – roast chicken cooked with Marmite was a winner – Marmite gave the chicken depth of flavour and we didn't really get a distinctive Marmitey taste once it was cooked […]
- 2011, Michael Wright, Je't Aime la Folie, page 301:
  This long, dark cattle-shed is littered with jars of noxious chemicals, viscous brown liquids that reek of concentrated Prep School, and various rusted tins, scarily encrusted with Marmitey goop.
(informal) Such that one either loves or hates it; polarizing.
- 2013, Liz Hall, Mindful Coaching: How Mindfulness can Transform Coaching Practice:
  'Not all of them were engaged but most of them got a lot out of it. It was quite a challenge, it's a bit "Marmitey", some people loved it and said it was brilliant; some people loved Michael and the idea of it but said “It's not for me,”' said Sally Bonneywell, vice president, coaching.
