Marmite is one of those things you either love or hate. The people who love it can't understand the people who really hate it. It does have a very strong taste and it doesn't suit everyone's taste buds. The good thing about Marmite is that it is rich in B vitamins and it is also approved by the vegetarian society being 100% suitable as stated on the jar. -
Marmite is basically 'Yeast Extract' with spices and it has the most wonderful rich strong flavour. I really like it as a hot drink and I spoon a couple of teaspoons into a mug of boiling water. It is warming and comforting and makes a lovely hot drink on a cold winter's day. I did a survey today where the product makers asked me to give attributes to a product. I would say in Marmites case, it would be strong, confident and very assertive. -

The jar that I have is the new squeezy option. It is basically in the shape of an upturned jar of Marmite and the yellow plastic, snap-to lid is the stand. The NEW squeezy jar is made of a squeezable plastic as opposed to the original traditional glass jar. It has a large yellow label with the Marmite name written in white against a red background. There is a picture of a large tureen with ladle giving the idea that Marmite might go very well in stews and casserole dishes. Which indeed it does; there is a blue label to the reverse of the product which says that the Marmite contain extra 'Folic Acid' and a slogan which goes "I like a good squeeze...Between some bread and cheese...
The NEW squeezy bottle is a great way to use your Marmite and it is now more convenient when all it takes is a squeeze and a squirt to release the dark brown sticky spread and it comes out in a thin stream which is easily controlled. The weight of the Marmite I have is 200ml and is a suitable size for a single person or a couple. They also do a larger family size. The original Marmite is in a glass jar and the neck of the jar does gets very sticky as this is a very thick extract and the rim gets in a bit of a mess. With the new squeezy container, because the Marmite is released from the bottom rather than the top, you don't get this problem. So it is a much cleaner and less messy option.

Marmites great! It is a versatile extract/spread. It gives a good bite to any sandwich. Its great on cheese on toast and it is extremely tasty in stews and casseroles as a flavouring. It also makes a very nice hot and hearty drink. It is an essential in my cupboard and I often snack on Marmite bread and butter. It goes down very well with a nice cup of tea. - Marmite, I am definitely a lover...What are you? -
Marmite from about 80p from most stores and supermarkets.
