Marmite.

[Amanda]

I am the only one in the house who eats Marmite, and not very often, so a medium jar lasts me ages.

Yesterday I used the last scrapings from the jar on my toast, so today I opened a new jar that I bought on Sunday. Is it me, or has Marmite changed?????

It is normally a very thick, sticky substance that sits on top of the toast, and is really difficult to spread so you get bits of toast with none, and bits with lumps of the stuff. Part of the appeal I think. Todays lot was the consistency of cholcolate spread and soaked into the toast like butter.

Is it just my imagination????

 

Mo idea hun haven't eaten it for a couple of months.

It was all I ate in the first trimester though - lots of folic acid

I saw an ad on TV last night for a squeezy tub of marmite so they may well have changed it!

Ah, that could explain it. I can feel a complaint letter to the manufacturers coming on!!!!!

I thought this the other day when I bought a new jar, but I put it down to the fact that it was a new one and it hadn't been in the fridge yet? It does seem to have thickened up a little bit now aswell!

When I was in hospital with Damien when he was 5 weeks old I saw the programme about them trying to find a design for the new marmite squeezable bottle and the different prototypes they came up with. They couldn't find one because the stop-flow system wouldn't work as the sonsistency of marmite is too thick and sticky. Don't remember what they came up with in the end as the docs came into the room (for Damo, right at the crucial point!! lol) so I haven't seen the new squeezy bottle.

But that should explain it now I've thought about it

With a new jar of marmite it's all gooey, but then it goes stickier the longer you keep it in the cupboard.

I love it both ways
