In praise of Marmite XO

[vernon]

Marmite on toast marks the return of my savoury appetite after two and a half days of blandness. It's the best it's ever tasted.

I wasn't as impressed with XO as I thought I might be. Wasn't too strong or anything, I just prefered the taste of regular Marmite, which as anyone with the correct tastebuds will know is wonderful stuff.

But how do you know that you have the correct taste buds?

Regarding Marmite, I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

If you crave some other savoury snack, this might fit the bill.....

because he likes marmite! People who don't like marmite, or say "It's OK if it's spread really thin" dont.

That runs contrary to human nature

Yes and look at the prices the robbing bastards are charging for that clothing. Even Marmite itself is now more than £2.50 a jar. Scandalous.

That said there is nowt better to spread on bread.

I keep thinking about buying some of the XO stuff, but reading this has made me think it is just a bit of marketing.

I do remember my sister once emailed them to ask why it (marmite) had changed colour and was now brown and not black!

That is all Foska kit and the the prices are comparable to the ones on the their website.

Did anyone try the Marston's pedigree marmite? I missed that one!

No, but I had a jar of their limited edition Champagne Marmite a few years ago, but TBH it tasted the same a bog standard Marmite, ie horrible!!

I can only eat marmite on twiglets.

It's never been the same since. The Tesco and Morrisons versions are much closer to the original taste and texture.

Whatever you do, don't be tempted by Vegemite. The Ockers are welcome to it - it's like the scrapings from an Abyssinian crab-catcher's bait bucket.

Marmite XO tastes like Marmite to me. Which is delicious. But I'm afraid it has the air of a marketing con.
