Starting in Denmark:

Denmark bans Marmite under food safety regulations

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13536479

How on earth could anybody consider banning marmite? It's quite possibly the best thing in world history ever to be made, after cheese of course.

I think HB had the answer......the Ozzies are pushing Vegemite....and rightly so, too.

Vegemite is a far superior product.....and quite nice with cheese.

Vegemite may be the product of the road apples of Tuborg dray horses, but nonetheless is tastier and has a finer set of subtleties on the palate than the mashed dung beetles mixed with the urine of syphilitic cats that is Marmite.

Don't get me wrong, though...Marmite will do if there is no Vegemite.....and if lacking either, Bovril.

Vegemite is made from the droppings of Satan.

And marmite is made from the tears of angels

And marmite is made from the tears of angels

It is certainly very salty.

Vegemite is made from the droppings of Satan.

Satan obviously has a diet of ambrosia and an alimentary canal free from the normal putrefying organisms.....producing something far tastier than mashed dung beetles and syphilitic cat urine.

Here's one test:

When making gravy with the drippings in the roasting dish, add a small amount of either Vegemite or Marmite.....the comparison is dramatic. You will use Vegemite for evermore.

A teaspoon of vegemite dissolved in hot water, with a sprinkle of pepper, makes a revitalising (sort of miso-like) hot drink....try the same with Marmite and you will probably gag.

See my notes in the Australia thread.

Vegemite is BANNED in Denmark.

Marmite has not filled in the import application and is therefore under scrutiny.

Marmite was developed around 1900 by Marston Brewery, who wanted to find a use for the used yeast that went to make that glorious nectar - Marston Pedigree.

Burton-on-Trent is the home of this most drinkable of all beers and thus the nearest place to heaven-on-Earth one can get (apart from Cambridge, of course).

Kraft have stolen Vegemite from the Aussies and Unilever have stolen Marmite from the Brits. Both these companies started as Dutch food processors, giving us packaged Edam and Gouda. How the <deleted> did they mange to get so big and steal all the decent products from us?

I just KNEW there was something wrong with you guys. I use those two products (Marmite and Vegemite) to kill rats and clean the tires on my truck.

Yes that article certainly is tripe. Everyone knows the world will not end until next year...

Well Boater was complaining about the lack of tits in the Daily Torygraph, so I suggest you enlighten him on 'timbits'.

And Scrunchins, and bugger-in-a-bag while you're at it.

Such Canadian delicacies do make Marmite and Vegemite pale into insignificance.

Think of two men sharing a sleeping bag.....but say nothing out loud or you will "here" it.

This explains why, when waking up after a night on the Pedigree, you may think that your wife has prepared Marmite on toast for breakfast - but, actually, you have just shit the bed.

Marstons used to be a customer of mine, I loved visiting them just for the aroma.

My Granny was in the WRACs. Whilst Gramps was away fighting the Hun, she used to get " visited a lot " ( family folk law). Never thought to ask if the aroma was the attraction..............

She was a bit of a roamer, then, was she?
