Re: The Marmite debate

I'm the same about Vegemite. Thought it was ghastly!!

Anyway I believe Tesco and Unilever have resolved the situation.

Re: The Marmite debate

Seems to me it was all a ruse to shift old stock, Mrs.B is just back from Tescos and tells me the shelves have been stripped through people panic buying yesterday....

So am I not that I buy a lot of them in the first place and I don't like marmite except on Twiglets at Christmas.

What a pathetic country we have become with people worried about the loss of a few products , if there isn't any Marmite you eat something else .
Heaven knows how many of the present day population would have coped with the rationing during and just after the war when I was born.

The choice is this, am I prepared to go without a few things and pay more for others in order to extricate the country from a corrupt club, an easy yes for me.

And before anyone says 'think of the poor' I am technically one of them . However I have learned to live on very little, most people could if they made the effort.

Re: The Marmite debate

Tesco do their own brand of yeast extract anyway. I haven't tried it but read it's just about impossible to tell the difference between that and Marmite:
