Well That Certainly Seems Appropriate...

If your vomit is that colour and texture you ought to see a doctor Scoot...

I was actually thinking of another type of bodily excretion but I wanted to be polite.

[Sean]

Again, see my previous post. Probably with more urgency...

the general method for making yeast extract on a commercial scale is to add salt to a suspension of yeast, making the solution hypertonic, which leads to the cells shrivelling up; this triggers "autolysis", in which the yeast self-destructs. The dying yeast cells are then heated to complete their breakdown, and since yeast cells have thick hull walls which would detract from the smoothness of the end product, the husks are sieved out.

And there are people who want to spread this toxic monstrosity on toast and feed it to their children?

Small wonder the British Empire has gone the way of the Dodo....

Where is that barfing icon I've repeatedly requested??

*drool*

My mum's coming out in November so I'll get my order in!

If it's anything like it is here, most do not permit (or have restrictions on) shippin g hazardous materiels!

I love it!

Can it PLEASE be added to our collection, oh benevolent admins?

[Scooter]

I don't think smilies can be added at the level of individual boards. Just click quote on my post as if you were going to reply to it, copy the code complete with the image tags, and save it somewhere handy for you to copy and paste whenever you want.

Next thing you know, David Cameron will be expecting that he can enter the country with Marmite in his bag.

He'll have to get around violating an International Treaty regarding transporting WMD's - Wrongs to Mankind's Digestion.

Suffice to say it's a by-product of beer. How could this possibly be wrong?

Let me just point out that urine is also a byproduct of beer.

I can attest to that Sue...

More reasons to love it...

Madonna has revealed her biggest dislike - Marmite.

The star, 53, told of her hatred of the savoury spread in an interview while publicising her new film, WE, which she has directed.

She told the Hollywood Reporter: "I would do anything for my children. For sure. Except have a Marmite sandwich - my daughter's insistent that I eat one, but I won't! Vile..."

It sounds like an April Fool's joke, but it could end the debate about loving or hating Marmite.

Makers of the gloopy spread are planning a green revolution by recycling thousands of tonnes of waste created in the manufacturing process to make power.

Around 60 million jars of Marmite are sold every year which leaves around 18,000 tonnes of Marmite residue stuck on factory equipment.

Now, prompted by a new EU directive, Unilever will start putting the dark leftovers into a huge composter where bugs will feed on it.

And here comes the genius part - the bugs produce methane which will then be burned to power a generator at the factory in Burton upon Trent in Staffordshire.

Marmite has a long history of being an efficiently produced food.

It was first made in 1902 by using a process that turned the yeast leftovers from brewing beer into a protein-rich food.

Unilever is also hoping to apply the same composter principle to their ice-cream factory that makes Magnums, Cornettos and Vienettas.

The commitment is part of Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan, which intends to double the size of its business at the same time as reducing its environmental impact.

Tony Dunnage, Unilever's European Eco-Efficiency Manager is determined to push ahead further with the company's green agenda:

"While this announcement is all about our commitment to recycling, we are also determined to find way to reduce and reuse the materials which we need in our factories".

British Gas have recently signed up to a similar initiative, whereby commercial food waste from restaurants and hotels will be converted into gas.

Leonie Green, spokesperson for the Renewable Energy Association, believes that "this kind of innovation is excellent news".

She said that it would be better still if we the government would create "a better policy framework to support such an initiative" because the commercial sector is "such an important group as an investor in renewable energy".

Anything that can recycle waste into energy in a clean manner is a good thing.

Now if they would only go ahead and empty all of those jars of Marmite they produced directly into the composters...

[dales]

I understand Marmite is an aquired taste.

Much like peanut butter which many non-Americans don't like.

Do Canadians like it?

I dunno.

[Scooter]

Which, Marmite or peanut butter? (The answer is no and yes, respectively)

At least peanut butter starts with something that is edible in its unprocessed form.

[Gob]

One of my favourite ways of eating toast is with both PNB and Marmite on it, yummy!!

American beer maybe...

In the UK they don't tend to scrape piss out of the vats as they do marmite...

[Scooter]

If Brits don't piss after drinking beer, that surely explains a lot.

VEGEMITE flavoured chips are about to hit supermarket shelves in the latest evolution of Australia's famous spread.

After nine months of secret taste testing, flavourists from Smiths Chips and Kraft have created a crinkle-cut chip that tastes just like the national spread - only crunchy.

The companies believe the odd pairing, which creates a buttery-tasting chip with a tangy Vegemite aftertaste, could be a winner when it goes on sale next month.

The idea for a Vegemite-tasting chip was hatched at Coles headquarters in Glen Iris, where product developers brought Kraft and PepsiCo executives together to create the fast food match.

Smiths had already come up with wacky flavours such as Heinz Big Red and pizza.

They also produced a limited-edition gravy flavour after a national campaign by 2DayFM radio stars Andy Lee and Hamish Blake to find the people's chip.

A national marketing campaign for the Vegemite flavour was ready to roll out later this month, but details of the new chip leaked to The Sunday Telegraph last week.

Vegemite is one of Australia's most popular foods, with more than 22 million jars sold each year.

The new Vegemite crinkle cut chip will be sold for 12 weeks from October 6, but only at Coles stores.

Despite Vegemite's salty reputation new Vegemite flavoured chips have one of the lowest sodium counts on the market
