One of the better veggie burgers used to have beet juice among its ingredients to give it a meatlike color, so I thought I'd try using beets as some of the bulk matter. The loaf bled bright fuchsia when sliced.
I bought my Marmite in the "international foods" section of my regular grocery store, and I've seen it in a lot of stores in my area (I live in the DFW metro). Failing your regular grocery store, you might also look in any store catering to British or Australian expats, or in any specialty grocery that has international foods (like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's or Central Market). I don't know of an American equivalent product, unfortunately. Maybe a whole ton of nutritional yeast flakes moistened to a paste with soy sauce or tamari?
Marmite is a yeast extract spread that has a very salty, very concentrated, almost bitter, but very unique and (to me) beefy flavor. I use it in anything that would normally have beef, usually in conjunction with either seitan or mushrooms. It's great in French onion soup, too, to give the broth more oomph.
