Talk:Marmite

Avalibility in various countries

Availability of Marmite in the USA has improved somewhat over the last 5 years. I have lived in Upstate New York, Reno (near Lake Tahoe) Nevada, Atlanta Georgia, and Greenville South Carolina, and all of those places have had at least one regional-chain supermarket (suhc a Publix, Kroger, Safeway, etc.) that has carried Marmite. In addition newly emerging "health food" supermarkets, such as Whole Foods Market almost always carry Marmite. It's quite expensive at the American retail level, with a small pot of Marmite costing approximately $6.

You can also buy it at Tesco in Prague, Czech Republic, under their own brand name 'yeast extract'. As a childhood fan of marmite, I honestly can't taste any difference between this 'own brand' and the 'real thing'.

In Sweden, Marmite is available in the shops specialized in english food that can be found in the major cities. Also, it can be found in some shops selling health food and in at least one Hong Kong import shop. In Paris, France, all the indian food shops i looked into carried Marmite.

Breweries?

Is it worth mentioning that a marmite-esque odour is commonly emitted by breweries (for obvious reasons)? I lived on a 3rd-story flat in Slateford, Edinburgh, downwind of the breweries, and the smell of marmite was inescapable in the flat and for a considerable distance around it (which certainly pleased a marmite-loving flatmate, but I digress). 16:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Proposal to change marmite jar!!!

My brother in the US has just emailed me an article that says Marmite are planning to change their traditional jar to a plastic one !!!! What shock horror! How can this be? We should all join together and protest it worked for Heinz when they were thinking of withdrawing salad cream, surely it can for this. What do you all think out there Carrots
