Advantages: Marmite is delicious & goes with lots of my favourite things very well.

Disadvantages: More expensive than standard jar, hard to squeeze once its depleted a little.

I purchased a 200g plastic tub of Marmite squeezy from Asda for around the £2.20 mark and this is available from Tesco and Waitrose for a similar price.

This 'squeezy' variety is just the standard marmite in a plastic pot which is squeezable and comes with a yellow lid (which it stands on) and it has a plastic valve inside which can mean that once you've used 1/3 or so of the pot that you begin to have to squeeze quite hard to release the Marmite at all. I always find with these pots that I get near the end of the Marmite and have to start unscrewing the lid and using a knife to get my portion out.

Marmite contains Vitamin B12 which is great for your health and maintaining it as well as keeping mosquitoes at bay, I ate this everyday for two weeks both before and then during my holiday to India a couple of years ago and I didn't get bitten once, whereas my ex did not like Marmite and he was bitten quite a few times!

Marmite is made with yeast extract and is a delicious dark colour, the taste is quite beefy and it's absolutely delicious. It's quite hard to explain though! As the adverts say "Marmite, you either love it or hate it" and I definitely love it! Most members of my family adore Marmite (My Mum, Sister, nieces & nephews) but my other half is a middle of the road person (which I've never really met before when it comes to Marmite!) he will have some now and again but he's not a lover nor a hater!

I adore Marmite in a variety of ways: on hot buttered toast, with cheese on bagels, in gravy, as a hot drink, on crackers with ham & butter. It really is quite versatile and I use it in many different ways. If I am cooking a curry or something meaty and want to give it a little extra kick I usually throw in some Worcestershire sauce and a half teaspoon of Marmite!

I would definitely recommend Marmite but the glass jars with the screw top lids work out a fair few pennies cheaper and there is less wastage as you don't need to squeeze your hardest or remove the top just to scrape a little out. This jar would really not be good for people with weak hands or muscles after just a few uses & for this reason I have knocked 1 star off my rating.

Summary: A delicious tasting spread that's quite hard to squeeze out.
