What is Marmite?
Marmite Banned From a British School
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.

History of Marmite
Marmite Food Company was created in 1902 in Bourton on Trent.
But only in 1912 were vitamins discovered by Polish scientist Cashmir Funk.
Thanks to its high B vitamin content, Marmite did its bit for the UK in two World Wars.
By the time of the First World War it was included in soldiers ration packs. It also became a staple food in hospitals and schools.
During World War II, Marmite became a dietary supplement in prisoner-of-war camps.
Vegemite : Another Controversy!

Silver Marmite Top for the Man with Everything

Bovril : Non-Vegetarian Spread
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

The Song by Men At Work which put Vegemite on the World Map
Men at work: Land down under!!!! (One of their best songs!!)
Does anybody else notice the Koala plushie? The lyrics by many requests. Travelling in a fried-out combie On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover. Buying bread from a man in brussels He was six foot four and full of muscles I said, do you speak-a my language? He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich And he said, I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover. Lying in a den in bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me Because I come from the land of plenty? And he said, Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah) Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover.
