I saw this and thought of you...

Marmite given to NZ Olympic medalists

I was lucky enough to get hold of 3 jars from the Sanza UK shop before the stocks dried up. Will be ok for a few months yet before rationing starts in our house... Fingers crossed the production gets back up and running soon though.

At last!! Found some in Sainsburys, Chesterfield this morning; also a jar of XO, unboxed with a red seal - two more for the 'black museum'

Marmite Gold now available in Sainsburys Salford (Regent Road)

The completist in me want to get hold of Guinness, the cricket & 'I Love You' Marmite editions. I'm guessing eBay is my best bet for these?

Damn it, damn it, damn it. Just looked on E-bay thanks to you and found a load of stuff I haven't got....

Superb - Love Hendos too. I'll ask my Sheffield friend to get some in for me.

Thought that might be the case. They're not cheap on there, but it's my fault for not buying when they were available in the supermarket.

Won't be making that mistake again!

Just slimming down the fancy XO packaging sadly, but on the good side it's gone from limited edition to what appears to be a permanent edition now

[Parabola]

Oh no. I've been on a Google mission, trying to find jars of the Guinness, Marstons & I Love You editions.

I've found a few more limited editions!

Has anyone got the Horrid Henry ones from 2009?

Breaking News: Marmite jar breaks all time price record on ebay, Sold to a man who would only call himself JTW and just kept muttering; You weren't there man, you wouldn't understand.

Me neither - I was hoping for something car related for Christmas. Too late now, Marmite it has to be...

What's the Gold stuff like? Any different in taste or just the flecks?

Tastes nice, but with a slight tang I'd say.

Original marmite is still the best though

Cheers, JTW.

I'll give it a bash I reckon!

Arrrgh - Here's an older Christmas jar design.

is there a definitive list anywhere?

I prefer vegemite myself.
More of a subtle almost nutty flavour, rather than overtly pungent & salty like standard marmite.
