   Ok, lets clear this up RIGHT NOW. Kate has never mentioned the word
"Marmite" in any interview I know of. All this "Marmite" nonsense is
due to a mis-transcription of an interview. 

   The interview in question was "Delia Smith's Cookery Course." Kate
was talking about vegatarian food. At one point she mentioned, not
"Marmite" but "Marmalade," describing it as a "...gravy substitute."

   No, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense either, but it's what
she said. Watch the video and it's quite clear.

    Yes, she did spend 6 months in Australia when she was very
young. But six months is not generally considered enough time
for a non-native to develop a tolerance to substances scraped
from the bottom of beer brewing vats.
