Limited edition foodstuffs.... (Marmite in this case)
Discussion
I'll admit that I'm a little marmite obsessed - I do love it, even to the extent of eating it straight from the jar...
The one I've not got/tried is Champagne Marmite - I had resigned myself to the fact that I'll never get it as it was a limited edition run and it ended ages ago (not to mention the fact that they'd all be out of date now anyway).
For a bit of humour, I thought I'd try ebay and at least get an empty jar or something... I was quite surprised to find full jars on sale there for up to £15! In sealed jars.... "Ideal for a collector". I'm actually tempted to buy one and then post a video of me opening the jar and eating it...
Which begs my question - do people actively collect foodstuffs - for collecting purposes? Wine, whisky, etc I'll give you - but food?

Hmm I have an unopened sealed pot of Champagne Marmite in the cupboard downstairs. I also have another opened one too (Got them for my birthday).
It is unquestionably the most delicious substance known to man, just thinking about it makes me salivate...
Nom nom nom...
Er OK, it's not actually that nice compared to normal Marmite, slightly sweeter maybe.
I'd swap it for a jar of the real stuff if you were to deliver.

I'm after a jar - If you're local, you're on ! It is unquestionably the most delicious substance known to man, just thinking about it makes me salivate...

I f
king love Marmite 
OP, you could have had my almost full tub of the Champagne Marmite. It didn't get on with my tastebuds, just a bit "wrong"! I threw it away in the end.
Also, what's the 4th tub along, not seen that before?
Any ideas on where to source more Marmite XO? I've just run out (after buying 3 pots when I finally found some in a store!)

Gutted - I just want to try it - I'll keep the empty jar, but I just need to try it!
The Marmite in question is a "Marstons special edition" - http://thefoodielist.co.uk/wp/marstons-marmite-lim...
Tasty - but given the flavours of them, I ultimately prefer the original marmite. I've had some of the XO, but it's a bit meh.
This is a more recent representation of my Marmite collection... (Apart from the emergency spare jar I keep in my drawers, that is....)
Back on topic - I still don't get collecting foods...
