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.

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!

History of Marmite
Liebig a German scientist discovered that brewer's yeast cells could be concentrated, bottled and eaten.
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.

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

New Vegemite Name Causes Outrage Down Under
The makers of Vegemite wanted to produce a separate variety more cheesy and smoother than the original unfortunately they decided to name it iSnack2.0. The Australian public are outraged calling it "the worst name ever" and Un-Australian, they want the inventor of this bizarre name to be forced to run naked through the streets covered by a generous smearing of Vegemite.
Vegemite was created 87 years ago by Australian chemist Cyril Callister for the Fred Walker Cheese Company in Melbourne, which wanted a Vitamin B-rich spread that could compete with Britain's popular Marmite.

- Is that why I hate marmite? because it's too salty?? And I love vegemite because there is less salt in it? That makes sense. I do prefer vegemite - always have. I love vegemite on hot buttered toast too....
