This one makes me laugh too. It is actually made from a yeast extract ( possibly discovered whilst brewing beer) - however, I've heard worse descriptions than yours...obviously an acquired taste. Incidentally, peanut butter made me sick the first time I ate it but I don't mind it now as it is OK on raisin bread.
