Marmite banned?

I just read in a reputable Canadian new magazine that back in June 2011 Denmark is banned Marmite because "it is fortified with added vitamins".

Now being a western Canuck I have never tasted or ever seen Marmite but this is a warning to all you lovers of marmite, start organzing now to protect your rights....or not.

Just get vegemite imported from Australia, vegemite is the best!

I think the ban came about due to a threat of sanctions issued by a couple of Librarians, who were concerned that the supply of one of the dietry staples for LSF Staff could be comprimised if there were to be a Continental Market Upswing.

Word has it, that checkpoints have been established just outside Burton-On-Trent (Home of the illustrious Nectar) to determine the exact destination of every consignment, With reports of a group of activists known as the "Pink Bunnies" threatening "Ultimate Sanctions" against anyone foolish enough to try to divert any of this commodity. (I believe there was a reference to calling in Ms Thrashbottom or some such person to police these measures).

Meanwhile, A statement was released from the Pink Bunnies secret H.Q. that the Vegemite substitute only came in to existence due to the effectiveness of the sanctions of this shadowy group in denying widespread distribution of "The Real Deal" A little like Methadone is to Heroin!!!

Vegemite (and we suffered a jar from 'friends' who had been to Oz) made me feel upside down with a ball & chain round my left ankle (now featuring 7 screws and a plate - another tale). Marmite is ace; but only if you like it. Careful where you rub it - German shepherds seem to like licking it. I spent the War defending Marmite from my pram in a village cottage about five miles from B-on-T [original home of Bass]. With other babies surrounding the town (and support from not yet eaten rabbits and unborn Angels, all of us protected by the RAF) between us Marmite's future was protected. You like it or loathe it!

I trust that the KLSF staff are not deprived of their staple beverages. But it takes a one-to-one at least mixture of rum to make Vimto even bearable. Try it.

Apparently the brewers of Burton were at their wits' end about how to dispose of the offensive black sticky gunk which was left as a residue in their vessels, until one of them had the brainwave to put it in little glass jars and sell it.

Sorry, there are lots of things Australian which I admire -
but Vegemite is definitely not one of them!
Every time I run out of Marmite, I am forced to buy some
of the 'V' stuff and I swear I have a cupboard full of small jars
with a smear missing!
I can also highly recommend some 'Own Brand' yeast extracts
which I do believe are even better than the 'real' stuff.

Marmite rocks and I have a never-ending supply in the library basement so there will be no shortages here

Just bought another pot at the shop on way back from yard, so this thread is good timing

Ah, so I see! Germany, under pressure from its shepherds, sought to invade Britain to secure Marmite supplies.

Well that is it!

The secret of how we won the war is out!

Our two greatest secret weapons revealed!!!
There is nothing that can be summoned by the forces of evil that can overcome the might of a Marmite sandwich and a steaming mug of Bovril (Beef Tea to the uninitiated).

Combine this with a bag of Crisps washed down with a bottle of Vimto and we are Yet again a power to be reckoned with

If any doubts linger to the efficacy of this wonderous formula, just consider the fantastic job that Pink & Flopsy perform so well with this Library, and they swear by it!

And who is paying for these luxury spreads I wonder? My royalties cheque failed to arrive yet again last month!
