I don't even eat the stuff but got given a jar this morning. I notice it has a best before date of 2015! So it'll keep until the marmite eaters come home.

I don't loathe it but I can't really find any way to eat it either.I didn't get a jar because I still had a jar when Christmas came round that was sitting forgotten in the back of my fridge. I gave that away to my SIL who thought I was the greatest MIL on Earth. Yikes. If I'd known it was going to induce so much unwanted adoration I would have given it to his wife to give to him.

I went just after 8am to Countdown just to buy it before it sold out. Enjoyed it on fresh vogels toast too. So good to have it back but I think it might sell out pretty quickly. Part of me thinks sanitarium have really milked this so called re launch by delaying its return and building up the hype when they clearly had plenty made and ready to go! Regardless I love the stuff!

I don't eat the stuff, but in another thread someone thought the new one tasted a bit different, and posted pics of the labels for old and new.
The differences:one has WHEAT maltodextrin, soy, yeast (80%), and sugar before salt. The other has CORN maltodextrin, NO SOY, yeast (!%), and salt before sugar (less sweet).
Those small changes could alter the taste perhaps!

I got mine yesterday the local 4 square put a few small jars out! So been having lots of toast lol.
I debated whether to take it or not when offered at Countdown, in the end I said yes, but we don't really care for it, we have proper English Marmite in our house which I normally get in 500g jars yum yum!

Mind you, daughter (born and bred kiwi) informed me that she first tasted it at school camp last year and loved it, so this morning what I thought was chocolate spread (and far too much and unhealthy for my liking) anyway turned out to be bloody Marmite! I noticed on the ingredients that they put sugar in it - whatever for! it's a yeast spread it absolutely doesn't need it and that is maybe why so many people like it. Cor blimey!
