I had toast and Marmite. No one could object to the smell of toast and Marmite, surely?

I wouldn't mind that at all. It's well known that everyone likes marmite.

Call me a euro-parochial, but I sadly am not keen on many eastern foods, and the smell makes me queasy.

Eastern foods like pie and mash, jellied eels and whelks and that?
