EWven Marmites own advertising admits it divides opinion (and yes these were all broad cast on British TV.)

Here's a question:
Brits who like Marmite. How old is your current jar?
Mine is about two years old and has some life in it.
My bovril is over a year old.
But I think Bovril is a drink. Mainly for swimming or bonfire night.

Current JAR?
We've got proper Marmite. Which no doubt some bloody whippersnapper's planning to rebrand Marmite Classic right this minute.
Marmite Guinness
And - I swear - Marmite For Your Lover With a Hint of Champagne.
All between a year and two years past their best before. Mrs F claims they're all unchanged from the day she first met them.
Just like me.

My jar of Marmite is nearly empty, and I opened it just before Christmas 2009. It is only a mini jar though - that's all they sell here. I'm the only Marmite eater in the house, but I do use it in cooking too.

Ooooh, yes - I can see it now.
Enter via the Enchanted Forest of Twiglets.
Ride the death defying giant Persil Spin Cycle.
Then onto the brewery yeast scrapings tasting.
Just have to work out how to incorporate Vaseline, Dove and Lynx, and my world class tourist attraction will be ready.....

Mmmm, we didn't like the Champagne Marmite so much, though we did eventually finish the jar.
Guinness Marmite was delicious, and we also very much like the Marston's Pedigree Marmite, in the cricket ball jar. Made with 'yeast from the official beer of England cricket'. I'll be sad when I scraped the bottom of my last jar of this limited edition Marmite.
Wonder what gimmicky flavour they'll come up with next?
CW - are you going to drink the Marvril mixture or spread it on a toasted crumpet, or muffin, or slice of bread? Or maybe you have other plans for it? Are you going over to the dark side?

He'll have it on a toasted crumpet spread with peanut butter.

For those of us not born with a Marmite spoon in our mouths let me suggest adding it to soup. =) They sell it at our alternative foods store here in the Pacific NW and I bought some out of curiosity. Tried it on toast...not great but not bad.
However, I'm one of those people that makes strange soups out of whatever is hanging around the kitchen and once in awhile I get lucky. Used Marmite in vegetable soup and it was delicious! It's been my *secret ingredient* ever since.
Tasted VERY familiar though...like Campbell's vegetable beef soup (which says' autolyzed yeast' on the label so it makes me wonder?)!
