Marmite banned...

[classic33]

I can still remember the shock of trying Vegemite and expecting something like Marmite. Bleeeurgh. It tastes like greasy vomit and has the consistency to match too.

Care to explain how you're able to say that last part??

Never tried Marmite and TBH I doubt I ever will, it's just one of those things that I really don't fancy trying, I might be missing out, but I doubt it

On the aroma front, Warburtons bakery isn't far from me, and in full swing it takes some beating, mmmmmmmmm fresh bread

That's not bread! The stuff you're talking about is officially classed as BSO.

Would a baby marmot be called a marmite?

I love the sound of breaking glass

To further derail, the piano-playing on that track is irretrievably immature.

To further derail, the piano-playing on that track is irretrievably immature.

Immature, or simply a musical motif intended to be idiomatically representational of the actual sound of the sudden and unexpected fracturing of materials composed of about 75% silicon dioxide (SiO2), sodium oxide (Na2O) from soda ash, lime (CaO), and several minor additives?

 

[Haitch]

Nah, immature. The bass is pretty good though.

I love this quote from the link referring to irn bru

"For a country that allows one to buy firearms, guns, bullets... stopping a soft drink suitable for all ages seems a little ludicrous."

Unfortunately I was abused by my parents as a child. Not a single jar of Marmite graced our kitchen cupboards. I'll have been about 18 the first time i tried Marmite... it was at my brother's friend's house in Bradford, after going to watch Hear & Now at The Duchess in Leeds... a gig I'd packed my shelf stacking job in to go to (the b@stards decided i couldn't have the night off after all!). Since then I've always had a big jar of Marmite in stock... a house isn't a home without Marmite. I'm now pining for the long disappeared Diamond Malt Loaf, the perfect bed for a thick layer of the lovely yeasty salt fest...

No

The Public Health Agency of Canada can:

One Canadian study estimated that the proportion of all deaths among adults 20-64 years of age that could be theoretically attributed to overweight and obesity grew from 5.1% in 1985 to 9.3% in 2000

but only theoretically.

On the other hand, 99% of gargoyles do look like Bob Todd.

You need some cheap white sliced bread (Warburton's extra thick is good), Marmite, loads of mayonnaise and some tabasco sauce (or any other hot chilli sauce). Spread Marmite on bread to a depth of perhaps half an inch, spread mayonnaise on top, sprinkle liberally with tabasco, put another slice of polystyrene bread on top, eat.
Or add a generous tablespoon of Marmite and loads of chilli powder to a saucepan containing a tin of baked beans. The Canadians don't know what they're missing.

 

[Yellow Fang]

Hooray, ban cabbage too.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I'll never be able to tour through Canada now.
(Thankfully I didn't know it was banned in Denmark as well... and will continue to pretend I don't - I find a slice of bread with marmite on it each day excellent for keeping midge/mossies at bay.)

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Don't you look stupid with a marmite butty on your head ?

There's a surprising amount of research suggesting that higher concentrations of the Vit B complex in your blood makes you smell bad to mossies/midges. Marmite has very high levels of Vit B in it so whilst spending months (literally) cycling through Scandinavia 3 summers ago (?) I decided to test this theory rather than be eaten alive by midge/mossies (not mosquitos though) and it did work for us. Camping wild in swampy forests is a very good test of the theory - in total we had maybe 10 bites each over the course of the 4-5 months we were there.
