Marmite
stevec - 24/5/07 at 05:01 PM

Has anyone else noticed that Marmite is not a black as it used to be, or as strong.
Is nothing sacred?

probably an attempt to get people to actually like it . . . .

We would probably have to pay more tax for the original stuff

Maybe its just a taste bud thing although i'm sure it was almost black, tizer is another one its just so different to when i was a kid.

I expect it still tastes disgusting!

Did you try the limited edition Guiness version ? Thought that would have been strong but not so.

I think you get used to it, I just stick it on thicker !

stevec - 24/5/07 at 05:19 PM

I had something that fell out of my ear once that looked like marmite but tasted better.


Peteff - 24/5/07 at 06:03 PM

We used to drink Bovril at work, they wouldn't allow the ingredients that were in it any more. I don't like the squeezy Marmite things and it must be weaker. If you put too much on your toast it used to take the roof off your mouth but it doesn't any more.

I got some free marmite from some friends who tried it. They hated it, so brought it down to me.

I have 3 jars in the cupboard. Love the stuff, but don't eat it terribly often.

Yes, I'm a yank, and I love Marmite. You can thank my wife (she's British).

Branston Pickle too. YUUUUUUMMM!


chockymonster - 24/5/07 at 06:59 PM

Hmm,

does it still turn white if you put it on a plate and stir it?


matt.c - 24/5/07 at 08:53 PM

Yum Yum!!!!!! Have it every morning


Fozzie - 24/5/07 at 09:45 PM

Yup love it!

I think you are right re the strength though, it doesn't take the roof of your mouth out like it used to

I won a set of original marmite and guinness marmite...... luvverly it was too!.........

Love Marmite, but vegemite eeugh vile stuff.

Haven't tried the squeezy stuff yet, the cynic in me is shouting "they've just diluted it with water and are going to be charging more for it "


marcyboy - 25/5/07 at 06:53 AM

nothing to do with the fact that you're all getting older and losing taste your receptors....


bob - 25/5/07 at 11:17 AM

Marmite on toast this morning

It was nice but the egg on toast with a splash of worcester sauce that followed was better
