Marmite

[Dave7]

I've had this jar for about 2 years. It's ok stuff that tastes and spreads like Marmite.

At least Marmite sounds nice.
Yeast Extract sounds like its been scraped off certain body parts

Yeah, my Marmite ran out yonks ago, will have to really stock up next time back there. Also, Branston, Colemans, HP sauce and Yorkshire tea. You can of course get these over here, but at ridiculous 'import' prices

I can get a few of my favourite items at a local food shop, but for more ‘extensive’ goods you might find this site useful: https://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwfP8gaDu8AIVBXAYCh0lNQn-EAAYASAAEgLJK_D_BwE

No problems here.

I have discovered that the Tesco own brand substitute is slightly different, but equally nice, if the real thing should prove elusive, although normally I buy the mahoosive tubs from Costco.

The 'error' people make is putting too much on, all it needs is a thin smear too much and even a fan like myself finds it gross.

It's also a 'secret ingredient' in many of my sauces/stews and pies not to mention gravy along with a dash of 'Bertie'*

Wooster sauce

I drain the juce of my Branson’s Baked Beans and stir in a spoonful of Yeast Extract. Genuine Marmite does not stir in as well as it’s more viscous.

If you're still on the same pot after 2 years it can't be all that good.

That’s the great thing about Marmite, it lasts almost indefinitely. And when you think it’s all gone you can always find some in the bottom.

Thanks for the link - I'll have to pass though. Anything ordered would reach Thai customs and excise, then the silliness begins. Only exception I know of is stuff from China. Shame AliExpress don't do any of this stuff.

Dear God!

Seconded...
There was a blip in general supplies of the marvellous gooey brown stuff, but all is well now. Had me quite worried...

 

[pawl]

Dear God!

You called my son

Just had a look in my jar Cant see any,

I have some every blue moon,as they say. I'm one of the very few who neither love not loathe it.

You are the first person I know who has said that.

MrsP has excelled herself this morning and has arrived back from St. Albans market with 3 packs of marmite sausages. There is a butcher there who makes and sells a variety of swags. The Marmite ones are always the first to sell out.

Morrisons own has seen no shortages, it spreads easier than the genuine Marmite and tastes the same and it's cheaper.
