    Somebody in a position of power in Canada really really hates marmite. It can do that to a person. Me, I love it to bits! Adore it! It's gotta be toasty buttery hot lovely marmiteness.

    A thin layer of marmite makes a cheese sandwich explode with flavour intensity.

    It's not possible to eat much marmite owing to the strong saltiness, so I'm not sure what the problem is supposed to be.

    Canada's food police has got a really weird way of doing things - Pro Nutro (imported from South Africa and one of the best "cereals" there is (10g protein, 13 fibre, 20 carbs and little sugar with LOTS of vitamins and minerals) was banned as well, for "containing too many vitamins to classify it as a cereal"...
    Duhhh - but Coco pops and fruit loops are fine, just please protect us from something healthy!! now Marmite???
    Rushes off to stock up on a couple of years supply of Marmite....

    Reminds me when we visited relatives in Vancouver we took supplies of marmite for them because it was a bit pricey over there. Worse thing was my wife was pregnant and craving lucozade original and Mcvities rich teas, eventually found them on the island and stocked up for the rest of the trip!

    I know. I once had a pint of beer poured over my head because I said "Canada's in America" - I was talking about the name of the entire continent. Apparently I should have said "Canada's in the North American Continent"

    (It was all in fun though, and the Canadian in question was familiar with the British sense of humour) :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Almost every house in Britain has half a jar of Marmite tucked away in the back of the fridge or cupboard (incidentally, if you keep it in the fridge you're a weirdo).

    I think if we pool together and decant all of these half-jars into a vat and send it over to Canada, we can help with the Marmite struggle.

    This is today's prohibition, and shall not be tolerated.
