The B12 supplement I've recently started taking gives 1000 times the daily

requirement and has a nice cherry flavour. I take one a week or so. cheap

too... for those who have had their fill of marmite et al or have food

sensitivities.

 

I think it's Solgar, comes in the gold-labelled brown bottle, like all their

other stuff. About £8 for 100 - which by my estimates should be more than a

lifetime's supply!

I wonder does anyone know if the B12 in marmite is distroyed by cooking? I

can't eat raw marmite on toast, but love it by the spoonful in stews.

Love Shell.

Marmite

 

It's centenary year for Marmite and we find the websites that will

tell you everything you need to know about the brown stuff

 

Sarah Left

Wednesday July 3, 2002

 

1. Celebrating its 100th birthday this year, the British institution

that is Marmite has now received a visit by the Queen as part of her

jubilee tour.

2. Marmite, a salty brown gloop that tastes intensely of Twiglets,

divides opinion like few other foods. Fans feel moved to poetry over

its alleged resemblance to the " finest of French stews " . Detractors

refer to it as slimy muck or " devil's spawn " and cannot so much as

breathe in the vicinity of an open jar.

 

3. For better or worse the stuff first saw the light of day in 1902,

brewed up in Burton-on-Trent as a by-product of beer production.

Taste issues aside, Marmite is unarguably rich in B vitamins and

fully vegetarian.

 

4. You can even give your puppy the chance to love it: the

Vegetarian Society suggests mixing Marmite with textured vegetable

protein as an alternative to meat-based dog foods. No dogs were

available to comment on this option.

 

5. Marmite cravings appear frequently in the British abroad, but

fortunately online resellers have sprung up to fill the need.

 

6. The brown stuff also appears in dishes such as Marmite and cheese

on toast, Woolton pie, and the criminally unappreciated watercress

and Marmite croutons.

 

7. Australians favour their own version, Vegemite, and indulge

occasionally in Promite - much the same thing, but runnier and

sweeter than Marmite.

 

8. None of these should be confused with Yosemite, a national park

in California. And it's pronounced yo-SEH-mi-tee, by the way.

 

9. Can't work up any enthusiasm for brewer's yeast? Try Bovril, the

meaty Marmite.

 

10. Can't take any of it? There is, of course, always the more

universally palatable British bread spread, marmalade.

[Guest guest]

>Marmite, a salty brown gloop that tastes intensely of Twiglets,

 

Erm, could that be related to twiglets being marmite flavoured, perchance?

 

>None of these should be confused with Yosemite

 

As I learned to my peril... but that's another story.

 

And a quick look online reveals an abundance of online stores wanting to

sell such lovely (quite!) delights to those across the pond.

Does anyone know if it is safe to order marmite from UK via the Internet?

The site I almost used has SSL, but it makes me nervous anyway...

I'm not sure what you mean, are you nervous because you are ordering from

the UK? If so then don't be, there is no more reason to be nervous than if

ordering online from somewhere within the US.

 

And remember your card details are safer on the net (even if not encrypted)

than they are being used over the phone.

 

I would recommend seeing if you can find a supplier in the US though as the

shipping costs may work out cheap. There seems to be many US sites that

sell 'British Food'.

I've order doxens of times over the net, with no problems yet.

For some of the places you can order via phone, if they have a number.

I just play safe if the place looks dubious, and don't expose my credit

card.

Thanks everyone, for the help and the kind patience.

 

I wasw looking at tthe ingredients for Vegemite, and it said " malt " . Does

this mean Vegemite has dairy products in it?

 

Be patient with me Lord, I am not a finished Vegan yet.

Why do you think that malt means dairy, are you thinking of those milky

malt drinks you can get?

 

Malt just means a grain that has been soaked in water and then dried to

force germination. Usually the grain used is barley. Nothing to do with

dairy.
