Like nothing I've ever tasted really. Hard to put a description to it. All I can think to say is it's a very very sweet tasting Marmite.

Still got the aftertaste now, may have to have some Guinness Marmite to redress the vile - lovely balance.

That's what I thought. Interesting, yes. Tasty, no. I daren't throw it away incase some poor seagull at the landfill gets it round its beak!

Got it from the local Sainsbury's.

Was limited edition last year some time so I bought 4 jars thumbup

Think you can get it on ebay for a rather inflated price or wait til it's brought out again.

I've got both Guiness and Champagne editions. I prefer the latter.

Got caught by an advert on the Tesco website as I was ordering some food - I couldn't resist *blush* I hope it is okay, I'm the only one who eats it! HOW much though?! £3 for 250ml jar. Delivery tomorrow evening.

I got a valentines card from Marmite.

Now it all makes much more sense. Will be getting a jar of that bad boy later.

See, I sent my OH to get some this evening and he claimed there wasn't any. I don't think he looked hard enough. Harrumph.
