Marmite the Sandwich Spread that Divides the Nations

Marmite has been a quick snack and source of vitamins for generations of Britons and has now spread (joke) to the four corners of the globe. Yet it leaves behind a trail of families and communities hopelessly split between those that love it and those that hate it. Read more about this mysteriously brown foodstuff below!

What is Marmite? 

Marmite is a completely vegetarian spread that is essentially a yeast-extract spread that is loaded with flavor and has tons of B-Vitamins! The full ingredient list is: Yeast Extract, Salt, Vegetable Extract, Niacin, Thiamin, Spice Extracts, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Celery Extract, and Vitamin B12. The B-Vitamins and yeast and spices make for one seriously intense flavor!

Marmite Banned From a British School 

Marmite off the menu for children

9 hours ago

The makers of Marmite said it was "disappointing" a council has decided to impose a ban on the spread at their school breakfast clubs.

Ceredigion Council in Mid Wales has taken the yeast extract product off the menu at their 51 breakfast clubs within the county because of a "high level of salt".

The makers of Marmite responded by saying only a small amount was needed to make "toast tasty" for children.

Why is the Jar Always Empty? 

Somehow your jar is always nearly empty and you are desperately trying to scrape enough to make a last sarnie. But why is this so?, I think it's because you fail to moderate your use of Marmite when the jar is new. Learn to spread your marmite thinly and stop returning to the jar evey five minutes, control your addiction!

Vegemite : Another Controversy! 

The Aussies have invented their own version of Marmite called Vegemite, I can't decide whther I like it (as much) or not, but it is edible.

Vegemite was made famous by Men at Work's song Midnight Oil

"He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich..."

Bovril : Non-Vegetarian Spread 

Bovril is the trademarked name of a thick, salty beef extract, sold in a distinctive, bulbous jar. It is made in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, UK.

It can be made into a drink by diluting with hot water. It can also be used as a flavouring for soups, stews or porridge, or spread on bread, especially toast, rather like Marmite.

The first part of the product's name comes from Latin bos (genitive bovis) meaning "ox" or "cow". The -vril comes from Bulwer-Lytton's once-popular 1870 "lost race" novel, The Coming Race (also reprinted as Vril: The Power of the Coming Race), in which a subterranean humanoid race have mental control over, and devastating powers from, an energy fluid named "Vril.

Quoted from WikiPedia

Bovril is particularly good on Buttered Baked-Potatoes
