Hi All Without wanting to start the old Oz, Kiwi war on the superiority of one over the other I should point out that Marmite came from Edwardian Britain originally. The best judgement I have known by an American is the words of a US born Game boat skipper. Who reckons he can always tell the nationality of clients by the jars they leave behind on his boat. He always gets rid of them beyond the 200 metre line out towards White Island. Even the fish won't touch it :-) Tony Flynn Grandad. Retired at the beach. Bay of Plenty.

Its not really hot per se, more savoury like brewers yeast. > > Gordon (Kiwi who grew up on the power of Marmite) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
