No. Bovril is the symbol of the anti christ.

As most people know I have a huge respect for DJM and would not normally argue with him, but here in this topic the normal rules and manners do not apply and I warn you DJM that any offence against marmite will be dealt with SEVERELY. OK?  >:(

Cheeky so and so  :P

Actually a hot mug of Bovril at 02.00. on the 12 to 4 watch can definitely NOT be beaten. Especially when llying at anchor off Leningrad (sorry St. Petersburg now) in November.  :P Warms the cockles of your heart!! :-* ;)

Well, it's still not proper marmite, but it's close enough. Welcome to the club. Watch out for these uncouth ruffians with their criticisms, led by a bloke with a picture of Morpheus from Matrix as his avatar.

Marmite; I used to love it, haven't tried it in ages though.

Actually, I think you will find it is 76.546% of all statistics are made up on the spur of the moment.

Unless you are in government then its 104% of them.

Question?????
What is marmite,maybe i know this,but i dont know realy in english.So if you can explain what this is,i can learn something.

Marc

Post by: [RWP]DJM on November 02, 2007, 09:08:23
Here you go Marc ;D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite

In my personal opinion, it's the most disgusting product ever made, but I am very particular about my food ;)
Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: marcstrat on November 02, 2007, 09:18:05
Greetings,
What i understand,is that this is the more solid version of OXO,that you can spread on a sandwich.If i'm correct,because i see there is a beef taste.
Must be very strange,to spread on a sandwich,however,i never tryed ones.
Regards
Marc
Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: [RWP]DJM on November 02, 2007, 09:22:02
Well, kind of.  I like OXO as a drink, as well as adding it to certain foodstuffs, gravy is also quite nice when it's made with OXO, but Marmite for me is too strong in flavour to truly enjoy.

Think of it as an extremely strong version of OXO that has a bitter taste.  If you do decide to try it, be prepared.......have some sweet dessert or at least something sweet on stand-by ;)

I tried it once when I was much younger, and I never liked it, although some of my family really enjoy it ::)
Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: marcstrat on November 02, 2007, 09:25:38
Thanks Carl for the warnings,and explaination of this product.
I dont recall it's in the shop's(supermarkets) overhere.So never had the(luck ??????) to try it.

Marc
Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: [RWP]DJM on November 02, 2007, 09:28:50
You're welcome my friend :)

Personally, I'd stick with OXO, not only does it taste great, but it has medicinal properties too ;)

Example - If you have a sore throat, or a tooth infection, try an OXO drink.  The fact that it's loaded with salt, helps to fight infection ;D
Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: marcstrat on November 02, 2007, 09:34:45
Yes,Carl i like OXO to,specialy durring the wintermonths.I drank it when i was on my vessel at 10.00H in the morning,instead of a coffee.It has a great taste,and it keeps you warm for some houres,when you're on deck.
That last can be phychological,but it helped for me.
Marc
Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: [RWP]DJM on November 02, 2007, 09:36:58
It's always good to keep warm in those long cold Winter months eh ;)

OXO vs Marmite

OXO will win every time ;D

Well, it seems that i've learned something more,my day has started very good.
(i defined)Marite,is crude oil in a jar,which has the luck to taste like old cowes  ;D ;D
However there's a market for it,some like it,some dont.
I cant vote now,because never tasted it.But if i see the decriptions of some of you,i think my definition,must be very close.

Hi All,
       Will add to this one OXO is very good as DJM says above loaded with salt.

Also say if you are being sick mean (throwing up not being crude) or the morning after DRINK !  not Kids of course,try a oxo drink in a mug help a lot trust me.

Also another one have a mug of OXO with a few slices of bread,Dip bread in mug great YumYum :-).

Gravy ???

OXO is a stock and seasoning agent, gravy is the end-product that comes from using OXO (among other things) :P

I prefer the traditional method of making gravy personally, using 'proper stock', but most people don't bother now ::)

Anyone remember 'gravy browning'?  Also used as a 'fake tan' after the war apparently ;)

Probably worked great, until it rained :D

I just looked up Marmite on Wikipedia. Apparently it keeps the mosquitos from biting you.
Unfortunately the article doesn't say whether you eat it or smear it all over yourself.. :D
In the last case I'd say you could walk into a pack of hungry crocodiles with confidence, they'd probably go scampering at great speed into the water to get away from you.. ;D
Unless of course they are that rare breed that likes the stuff, then good luck to you... ;D

Hi Marc

I always find it very strange when watching British news on foreign TV stations. Much of it is reported inaccurately (even English spoken news broadcast for expats) and I wonder therefore how much of the news we see here in Britain about other coutries is also inaccurate and distorted.

As for your government, that is bad news... As I would hate to see Belgium without a Government, you can have ours. With pleasure... PLEASE. Take them. <lie>They aren't that bad </lie> ;)

Belgium is a lovely country and has a lot more to it than boy racers driving round a loop all day :)

These mines are owned and worked by the "Marmites", proud and ferocious beings that would have no qualms in taking any ill-doers prisoner, forcing them to work with them in the mines, living on a diet of bread and the local delicacy..
So DJM, I would love to see you try...

Not to worry my friend, I have an Anti-Marmite suit ;)

Not only does it protect against gloopy splatter when I blow up those mines, but it prevents those weird little beings getting a grip on me :D

Funny you should say that saltydog. When I was last at sea the cadets on the ship called ME Gonzo the Great because I have quite a large hooter (nose).  :o ;D

Apparently, according to Wikepedia, Marmet was named after The Marmet Coal Company who mined in that place. Of course it was a cover up, they were actually mining Marmite and sending it down to the sea for export to UK. You can see the towboats and Marmite barges in the view I sent earlier.

I like your story Traddles, but I heard a different tale about the origin of Marmite.
Some time ago, somewhere in the last century, there was a guy named James Brown.
He lived in a small town in England. In his neighbourhood also lived two beautifull sisters: Heather and Mar
One day James plucked up enough courage to ask Heather if she would go steady with him.
She supposedly answered him: "No, I won't be your girlfriend, but Mar might"... :)
Indeed Mar did, and James went on to invent this wonderfull product, and named it after the momentous words of Heather.. :D

saltydog,
I liked that story very much, it reminded me of my Mother, years & years ago, when I was a small boy. If I misbehaved to her annoyance she would say:- "Marmite smack you if you don't behave properly."  She was a very special person, only died last year at the age of 105. It was odd to be orphaned at the age of 71!! ::)

hi saltydog,
I think she was actually, we did get the occasional Marmite butty when we were children!! ;)

And Captain Davies, thanks for your reply. At 105 my Mother was ready to go and had been begging to be released for a long time. So in a way it was more a time to rejoice in a life well spent than to be sad.

And yet, strangely, the only mission I have uploaded that didn't have hidden Marmite was the "Solent Difficulties" which was so difficult it immediately trashed the tester's PC  ::)

PS Half life of Marmite is more than the possible age of the universe. It cannot actually decay. No living organism can digest it.

And Marmite returns from its holiday in the Phi Phi Islands.

Now fully refreshed, it has helped to produce a new set of radio sounds and horn sounds, as announced in today's newsletter from Vstep (in which the name of world's most prolific Marmite eater was incorrectly spelled - blame Frad_Med!)

As you can see, dear reader, we are all extremely euphoric on Marmite.

The soon to be released Solent Saturday Service 1 - 4 missions and Solent Summer have hiden Marmite in them. Can you avoid that sticky, brown fate?

Confused? You won't be when you play those missions and listen to the new sounds while eating your Marmite Sandwiches.

People have been killed for trivial things like offending religions... making cartoons of the sacred prophet etimram etc.

It is TOTALLY unacceptable to say bad things about my lord Etimram. We Etimram believers are good, peaceful people and- Death to anyone who says otherwise.

Thanks, Stuart. Excellent suggestion. I was out all last night clubbing. Haven't enjoyed clubbing so much for years. 310 less Marmite fans now.

Oh-oh, got to go. Sound of sirens in the distance...

I should advise you, Mr Russell, that I have recently declared my own registed church of Marmite and find your offensive comments against my religion totally unacceptable.

Therefore under the well-thought-out human rights directives from the EU I am planning to make a formal complaint to the Police about you. I'm sure they will appreciate the time spent, excess paperwork and all the usual rubbish that goes with it before declaring it a total waste of time.

(sorry. I've just finished the EU post and should have taken a deep breath before looking for an excuse to have a go at EU rules here) ;D

Fortunately no-one is reading this thread so I can tell you that I am in fact a secret agent for Marmite. If you look carefully in all of the missions I have created, there is hidden Marmite. Best not to say anything or I may have to melt you down and hide the evidence in the Mamarite production line, along with the usual input of creosote and tar.

Now, shh. Tell no-one. Our secret is safe here. DJM is my long-lost son that I never knew I had and Traddles is in fact a figment of DJM's Marmite-twisted mind.

After the anti-snake serum, I am now partialy recovered. Unfortunately I have only seen the sun briefly on my way from the hotel to the Client's offices this morning. No chance of a tan.

Off to Cyprus tomorrow evening after another day's work. Staying at a good hotel, but unless things have changed in the past couple of years, there will be no internet connection, so I'll be off-line until Saturday evening when I return to the UK (my return should be announced on News at Ten)

PS there seems to be no Marmite in Athens, unless I have stepped in any on the pavements (which is possible, looking at them)

Yes- take mass volume of both mar*ite AND anacronym for the expats- you'll make a fortune.

Just back from Cyprus. Started out 2:00 a.m. UK time and just got in at about 19:00 UK time. It's hotter in Selsey than it was in Limassol or Athens.

No, as always, I appreciate your wise comments. Pompey has many bad points to it, but I am really impressed at the way that various official groups (councils, police, psychiatrists) are actually trying to deal with it. Better than some of the holes elsewhere, where the rot has set in. I don't know Stokes bay, tbh.

Of course, living in Selsey brings almost total isolation. The news about that work of Modern Art, "Stonehenge" was greeted here with plans for a ritual sacrifice of anyone with an IQ of over 25 in case such new and strange things upset the lords of the weather and mud.

We're still searching for such a person, you understand, so the skies may darken in the meanwhile from the outrage of irritated deities.

The lost land of IoW can of course be seen from here. In case you were wondering, the reason we consider it "lost" is because we don't know which way we're looking. Or indeed, which way is up.

Winning a million pounds is trvial. Taking a trip to Mars is trivial. Marmite is never trivial.

And although your Vegemite may look similar, Marmite is very different. It is, after all, a mixture of salt and fungal extracts.

Here's mine for a hearty double sandwich..

-a generous layer of Marmite..
-a layer of Tahin ( it's like peanut-butter, but made of sesame-seeds, available in health-food stores)
-sliced radish

Enjoy... ;D

Lashings of Marmite

Hovis, two slices
Benecol with Omega 3
Light spread of Marmite

PS be careful not to have too much Marmite. It is high in salt and the B vitamins can cause very vivid dreams, if taken in excess.

marmite is made from processed fungus (sounds so appetising, eh?), whereas yours is made from vegetable extract (I assume). Not even from the same Kingdom....  ???

Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: Mad_Fred on July 27, 2008, 17:26:08
Hey guys..

It seems the true recipy is a bit of a secret..  ::)

But I do know that it's main ingredient is the yeast extract that's made from the leftover yeast from beer breweries. Vegemite has also got vegetable and spice additives added to it as the most important additional ingredients.

But I think that Marmite also has those, right? (wiki thinks so) Although Marmite is much more on the salty savoury side, I think.

How about this:

Ingredients:

Vegemite (Kraft General Foods NZ Ltd):

Yeast extract, salt, malt extract, colour (caramel), vegetable flavours, vitamins (niacin, thiamine, riboflavin)

Marmite (Sanatarium Health Food Company, NZ):

Yeast, sugar, salt, wheatgerm extract, mineral salt (508), colour (caramel), herbs, spices, vitamins (niacin, thiamin, riboflavin)

It's also got a small note under the ingredients:  "100% vegetarian" (but then, what do you expect from a company owned by the 7th Day Adventist church?)

Promite: (Masterfoods of Australia)

Vegetable protein extract, sugar, yeast, natural colour (caramel), salt, thickener (Wheat starch), emulsifier (Glycerol monostearate), spices, added vitamins, water

Hmmm... This forum seems to be turning bad-tempered again, to look at some of the recent posts.

So, MARMITE TO THE RESCUE!

I was reading a thread in which people were arguing whether black phones were better than white phones. And there were some expressions which seemed less than kindly.

Surely there can be no discussion? Marmite coloured phones are the fashion icons!

At Traddles' great age, the only problem is that he might think it is a Mars bar and take a chunk out of it (if he can find his teeth).  The saddest part is that he may not notice the difference and will consume the lot.

Later he'll wonder why no-one calls him on his phone any more, and why it softens in the heat.

Sorry, Angus. Just kidding! Your turn to get revenge on me, now...  ;D

How can that sooth with no trace of Marmite?

Has anyone seen Carl (DJM) recently?

No but now that everyone in the US wants to a review on it I might have to find it and have some.

Terry I have a question, is it sticky? I can't eat anything sticky for another 2 months untill I get some stuff outa my mouth, luckily it worked and has fixed my speech and overbite though. :)

Put in the fridge and you have something with the texture of molten tar.

When my wife first came here from the USA, she put my Marmite in the fridge. It took me half an hour to get it out of the jar!

But, the thing to remember is that it is VERY strong flavoured. You spread the merest hint of it on your bread. So the stickiness is not relevant. It should be vapour thin.

Excuse me, off for a sandwich now.

PS you can get it in some places in the USA, but you'll have to hunt somewhat. There's a place in New Hope Pennsylvania (near to my wife's old haunts in NJ) that holds a couple of jars for me, and another in Florida that does the same and also one in Houston. (Can you tell the places I mainly stay at in the USA?). Just setting one up in Boston for my forthcoming trips.

Yeast extract. Very concentrated. Very strong taste.

You spread it on bread or toast, thinly.

It is crammed full of vitamin B and other useful things. Good for us diabetics! No calories.

Wonderful on bread. Spread a little butter or good quality margerine (I use Benecol), then a thin smear of Marmite on top.

Stupendous on toast! Same method.

But people either love it or hate it. There seems to be no middle ground. In fact the makers have a series of adverts with people either flocking to eat samples or running screaming from an attractive lady holding a plate of sandwiches.

Yes I did actually. I like sopping up gravy and meat juices with bread so it's right up my alley even though it's vegetable and not meat it tasts similar. Washed it down with a cup of T&H Yorkshire tea, black because I don't care for warm milk or sweet unless it's hot coco, and I seem to have survived unscathed.

More Marmite will fix, though.

Marmite fixes everything! (removes bacteria, fungus, barnacles and paint, restores youth, makes hair grow back even in places you never had it before, clears snow from your path, cleans your bath, prevents sunburn, stops people kicking sand in your face, gives you the ability to leap tall buildings, wrestle poodles and win.

If you call someone's name and wake them up, saying that you have a rule that says they won't wake up is rather pointless. You woke the Marmite Beast and must suffer the punishment...

Ok, how many Jahre Vikings with marmite in tanks I need here?

You should be aware that the Vikings will not fight with you.

A clue:

"Russell" is Viking for "red hair" or "red beard". I also suffer from a thickening of the tendons in my hands known as Vikings disease. So, beware the Vikings in your camp. They may be my men...

Give me a minute, then check back...
A daft question, I reckon...

All those topics, that were created after the day you registered, are powered by Marmite.
I was reading (again) Brief history of time, by prof Hawking. He said that prior to the big bang, there was nothing at all. Nothing. Plenty of nothing, but that was it. No God, no Dover - Calais in the same environment.Nothing...

It is sacrilige to say there was a time before Marmite existed. Marmite is the very stuff the universe is made of! The quantum theory of Marmite!

I just asked "the Cat" (called Suzie and probably lives in the extra-dimensional world of Selsey here with me and my many probable lives and many probable wives in a state of supra-existence. The downside is many probable mother-in-laws, of course).

Suzie said that because of her disbelief in Mr Schrodinger, his existence is only a possibility. Therefore he may have possibly conjectured the theorum, but more probably may not have done so.

Therefore she and her Marmite sandwiches definitely exist.

You, on the other paw, may not.

Remember, the certainty of the probability theorum is uncertain.

Keeping with the theory of indeterminism, it is- as you well know- impossible to state a clear 'yes' or 'no'- but instead only a range of possibilities each with their likely outcome.

For example, the more that one becomes certain that I am going to buy a copy of SSE, the less one can be certain that I will give it to you.

Paradoxically, the more one can be certain that you will have a copy, the less one can be certain that I will be paying for it.

The ultimate theory of grand unified Marmite? I am a tight fisted sod.

(simpler explanation for the thick people: Imagine a box with a jar of Marmite in it. One inserts a Terry in the box for thirty minutes and then removes. Is the jar of Marmite eaten or not eaten or is it in a range of eaten-ness?)

Thank you WM. And Jack of course. I do greatly respect the Marmiteness of Terry and recognise his ability to eat great quanitites of the stuff.

I also recognise that I am the God of Marmite, and very modest about it, and would be pleased to become PM... On the sole proviso that I can become Home Secretary too and complete my other ambition... of bringing back Capital Punishment...

Yes. Capital punishment. NO MARMITE FOR all who live in London, Edinburgh and cardiff.

That sounds like an election campaign. The fact that you need to campaign, like a low-life politician shows that you are not worthy.

Being the true Supreme Ruler of the Marmite, I am of course an absolute dictator. My very thoughts are inviolable law. This proves that I am the one.

Sorry Stu. But you are henceforth banished to Lagness.

Bognor? I rule that as well. I can see it from my house. But despite that, I have not yet smitten it with custard. Maybe later.

Actually, you seem slightly better than appalling at the divine retribution thing. I may have a job for you here at Marmite Central. (Making a list, checking it twice. Then smiting them)

Angus, with great respect to, as always.

As the original author of this topic, I do feel a certain amount of 'moral' responsibility for its content. So I have to say that I don't think there is necessarily any malice intended by anyone.

The problem is that new members who don't know everyone humour, or some of the forum standing jokes- IE Marmite- can easily be offended and possibly quit the forum.

So, chaps, we all (myself included) really need to think about *WHO* we post these comments to- we all understand eachother (sort of), but new members don't.

Back of to Brugge on Sunday, then Brussels on Monday... Oh how I love to go and be lectured by people who have absolutely no knowledge of what they speak and have no useful input on the planet but have simply got to be listened to, applauded, hailed and bowed to just because they convinced several thousand stupid people to put a cross next to their name and give them the title of M.E.P. which as we all know stands for Mostly Evil Pratts... (some words- all three- changed to avoid breaching forum rules).

Speaking of Marmite, something totally unrelated.

It has a special place called "Marmecca" where EVERY good Marmite eater MUST visit at least once in his lifetime.

Marmite has special powers. Eat Marmite all your life- and never question its worth- and you shall seek comfort in the after life in Marmiteaven.

People have fought over Marmite, to the point of hostile words, here on this very forum. But do not take the name of Marmite in vain,for it shall not affect you yeasterday, but Mite (sic) affect you in the future.

World famine? Marmite is a by-product of other products and is plentiful
World wars? Deprive the enemy of Marmite and they'll surrender quickly enough

I DID try that, Clanky. Unfortunately the post office says that unless Marmite has its own passport, it's not allowed to leave the Country.

The FCO says there's a very real risk that without Marmite controls, it might make a break for Denmark.

Haha- it would make an interesting challenge to get Marmite to you anyway. I suppose I could tie it to a 'sea'gull and say "that way" and get it dropped onboard.
Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: Stuart2007 on May 28, 2011, 08:11:01
Further to my above post, it has come to my attention that several thousand jars of Marmite are being detained in a Prisoner of Jar camp in Denmark, known as stalag jar 3.

HOWEVER! I am reliably informed that at least 200 jars are planning to tunnel out and head for neutral Sweden. One jar, whom we shall call "Steve McMarmite" is planning to ride over a barbed wire fence on a motorbike.

He said that Marmite in the camp are in good spirits, but spread a little thin. He said that "What people will call the battle for marmalade is over. The battle for Marmite is about to begin. We shall fight them on the toast, we shall fight them on the sandwiches. We shall fight them on the bread rolls and on the crackers and we shall never, never surrender. And if it should happen- which for a moment I do not believe- that the forces of Danish stupidity overtake our jars then I am ever confident that the masses of Marmite supporters in the whole world will rise up in protest."

He then went on to say "and if the Marmite Empire should last for 1,000 years, THIS will be our finest hour."
Title: Re: Marmite
Post by: Stuart2007 on May 28, 2011, 08:12:55
To spread or NOT to spread. THAT is the question.

For it is better to have spread and eaten than to never have spread before.

Shall I compare thee to a yeasty spread?

Some useful proverbs
1. A rolling Marmite jar gathers no moss
2. A Marmite jar waits for no man
3. Do to Marmite what you would have Marmite do to you.


BTW, Clanky, is there any rules on ships for lifeboats that say "Spambot and Marmite first"?

Stuart, you have no idea how much you have brightened what has otherwise been a fairly horrendous day.

Thanks for the giggles!

You too TM!

We do try our best, Clanky.


Now... I must leave to fulfil my ambition of sailing around the world in an empty Marmite jar.

Probably would be better than travelling in some ferries I've seen

Yes, OK. Thanks for that. And just what has YOUR opinion got to do with the ongoing crusade for world domination by Marmite?

Marmite WILL inherit the world. There will be a second coming of Marmite.  (when people have recovered from the first). Marmite has sacrificed itself to be eaten to take the sins of the food eating world.

WARNING TO ALL SEA GOING VESSELS IN THE AREA BETWEEN NAPOLI AND TOULON.

There are reports of unusally large jars of Marmite Spambot which may pose harm to shipping. REMEMBER that only 1/8th of a jar of Marmite is visible above the surface of the sea.

The meteorological associations state that they are surprised to find this many Marmitebergs this far south at this time of year.

Marmite jars can and will clogg bow thrusters, damage propellors and may cling onto the hull (also known as Marmiticals). On the bright side, Marmite- if captured in a large net- can be used to grease the main bearings on propellor shafts and winch gear for anchor chains.

Urgh! Mike, you're going on the c(*)ap finished?

That thing? The one with the big hole at the back? Who'd make a ship with a big hole in it and then stick it across the E Atlantic?

I even wonder of the wisdom of putting Do-Ca ferries with no aft superstructure- but into the Bay?

No wonder the Captain always sounds so cheerful when arriving- probably amazed to do so.

That's why the Marmite is there, the seagoing version is known as Marinite!

The reason I have to go on the so called barge is because you blocked the access to deeble towers and the passengers couldn't get access, that's why all Pride was lost.

The ss helen deeble is an under powered wreck that is well out of its depth and too far from shore. It needs sending to alang ASAP.

THAT, gentlemen is why the PoB was lost.

He spent too much time looking at the PoB and not enough time travelling on it - that's the REAL reason!!
