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.

Re: Marmite ....a mosquito repellent?
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.fft100 wrote:About 18 months agoi bought back 2 * 500g jars of marmite from the UK where it is quite cheap.

VS, I couldn't explain it any better

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.......

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

Re: Marmite ....a mosquito repellent?
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.
