Marmite - food of the Gods (although Mr.VS wouldn't agree). A bit of toast, loads of butter, and a thin layer of Marmite and I'm in heaven.

About 18 months agoi bought back 2 * 500g jars of marmite from the UK where it is quite cheap.

Unfortunately, they are now both empty. where is the cheapest place in HH/CA to buy replacements, though they can be smaller than 500g !

Thanks

Fairly certain they sell it at Makro - I won't be going before Tuesday but if nobody confirms before, I will look out for it.

VS, I couldn't explain it any better :laugh: Toast; a load of butter, and a thin layer of marmite.......rain from heaven.....lol. I'm definitely in the " Love It" camp.. It's strange how something so simple can quite often taste better than an expensive meal out, especially when you've not
had it for a while. I enjoy Bovril as well, but it's not the same as Marmite. Talking of Marmite, my jar is nearly finished. :(


Time to plug the toaster in....... :cheers:

Constipated? A hot mug of MARMITE and 3 hours later problem solved

Vegimite? Is that something we gave the condemned on their journey to OZ?

:agree: It is great stuff 8) I buy a medium pot of Marmite and it last me approx 2 months. If you spread the Marmite thickly, it is a mistake, just a very light spread...better while the butter is melting...yummy! Mr S pretends he likes it...but always goes for the marmalade :wink: All the more for me!! :)

This will get your taste buds going :D

found it in Tescos. 125g was 220baht and the 250g was 320 baht. all of which is a huge mark up compared to the UK, but obviously they are selling well as each size had a 3 wide display. i bought the large size.

btw, if anyone can find better prices in thailand, then please post here.
