Are there really supermarket own brand versions of Marmite? Which ones sell it? I might go and try some as an experiment.

well I'm sure that Sainsbury's do it, but i use Lidl's version (called Chira) which, in a blind test, I couldn't tell apart.... (well I'm lying about the "blind" bit of the test...)

I have no objections to yeast, it's just I prefer it to be added to things, like say malt, sugar and water, rather than have something extracted from it.

Erm - so how many alcoholic products do you know that still include the yeast? (apart from the obvoius exception of WeissBier...)
I seem to remember something about Marmite being, originally, a by-product of the brewing process...

Virtuous Circle:
You eat enough Marmite,
It makes you thirsty,
You drink some beer,
It makes you peckish,
You eat some more ...

LOL 'virtuous circle'? Assuming that was intentional?
Loved Marmite as a child. It's a bit salty for my taste now.

Well Orcus my dear, are you willing to concede yet?

Orcus gave up ages ago
That said the later players in the thread were pretty much 50:50 on the issue.

Down with Marmite and all things Marmitey, it tastes bad, it looks awful and smells like something really smelly that has been left in the sun on a hot day in smellytown.

Hmmm...if Orcus ever comes back around here he might find that the anti-Marmite peasants are massing
*goes off to look for new fellow "sticky black salt jam" fans*
