Good question. I’m afraid I don’t know the answer. I hated marmite for years but now I have it on my toast every morning.
Have a look at this link: http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=21575.0. A scientist did a little poll of his friends and family and he thinks that marmite and celery hating is genetically linked.

In Australia we have something called Vegemite, similar to Marmite but better. As Australians have evolved from the British people, we evolved Marmite as well. This suggests that the Marmite-liking genes have evolved with the Australian people. 🙂
