Limited edition foodstuffs.... (Marmite in this case)

[james_tigerwoods]

I think that this warrants a thread resurrection:

Marmitey Chocolate said:

The strong-smelling 100g bar is made with 98 per cent milk chocolate and two per cent Marmite flavouring. This includes yeast extract, onion powder and garlic powder.

What interests me the most is this:

Just you wait.... said:

The chocolate initially forms part of Marmite’s limited edition Christmas range.

James, I may have another jar for your collection (once the contents have been eaten - as it's standard Marmite you'll not be missing anything taste wise) - may I present the Goodwood vintage labelled Marmite!



Apologies for quality, excited iPhone camera taking as I have just picked this up from the Post Office (was birthday on Saturday and went to pick up late parcels) OMNOMNOMNOM

Oooo Oooo - I want, I want, I want!

Where can one get it from?

ETA - Just seen this:

Blimey JT, your marmite obsession is pretty scary!

Might be off to Oz in a couple of weeks - if there are any cheese/marmite/vegemite combos you fancy I don't mind bringing you some back.

It's not that bad.... Honest

And an Oz jar of marmite would be cool Failing that some Vegemite with Kraft wouldn't go amiss !

Thanks!

Theo Fennell does a sterling silver marmite lid too.

I've seen that - it's just a big, circular, lid though....

[james_tigerwoods]

Just tried some of this - It’s not too marmitey – an odd aftertaste which lingers which is where you can taste the marmite. I can’t decide whether I like it or not. About 30 seconds after swallowing is where the taste of the marmite hits properly – I dunno, I just don’t know....

[james_tigerwoods]

Marmite with scrambled eggs ... MMMmmmm

[james_tigerwoods]

Marmite and Mustard - that's a new one on me....

The Marmite cereal bar is back on sale - please, for the love of all that is good an holy, don't... Just like the chocolate!

[james_tigerwoods]

Shameless bump...

I've got a real problem... I've run out of specialist marmite - Does anyone have any Champagne, Guinness or Marstons marmite going spare??

A significant part of my business is sourcing and supplying limited edition stuff as well as low volume and collectibles in the food sector. Marmite is in crazy demand, not just with expats either I hasten to add. As for the limited edition stuff, I don't have any but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you in future. I do love it, so it's not exactly a chore

Thanks - I got the champagne one from a helpful PHer, but I'm nearing the end of it - the XO and the standard stuff is nearly finished too, but they're easily gotten hold of.

The others are a lot harder to get. Tasty too

I've got champagne and guiness which are well out of date now (over a year out) I guess I should still be ok eating them?????

No. You can't eat it. Send it to me and I'll help out here

[james_tigerwoods]

Shameless bump - I'm looking forward to this:



Being available. Whenever that is. And buying up a truckload.

Hello

Git

[james_tigerwoods]

Got some!



And a choice of a few...

[james_tigerwoods]

Aye, that was me

Where did you find it?

Anyone know how long the Marmite XO will be made for? If they stop making it, I know I'll be cross I didn't buy ten jars when it was available!

After hunting in Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Tesco - I found it in Asda...

[james_tigerwoods]

[Holy thread ressurection]

I've been quiet for a while, but this has cheered me up no end and I thought I'd share it with you - My friend bought it for me while on his holidays. Not that my "obsession" is common knowledge...

I will be opening it shortly

[james_tigerwoods]

It. Is. Good...

[james_tigerwoods]

Shaw Tarse said:

Anyone bought the Gold Marmite yet?

I've just seen it's available....

[james_tigerwoods]

I've got a ton on, so I might send my OH out to buy me some

[james_tigerwoods]

Found some in asda today and will be having gold marmite and toast as an afternoon smackeral.

Shush. All of you. I won't be able to leave the house until Thursday now
