Altogether it was a rather scary experience.

However, I survived, and as I have noticed that Marmite is of great concern to many posters, I am pleased to confirm that Safeway sell it - it is in the spice isle.

Is it too early to open a bottle of wine to calm my nerves?



Hate It!

Although the UK does have potato waffles, which don't seem to be here. I always found they made a good alternative to chips, even imitating a decent chip buttie.

A word from the experienced Marmite shopper - you will not always find it in the spice aisle (although this is the most common place I have found it). Some stores have it wil baking goods and some with international imports. And those are just the ones I've shopped in! The reason it's not where it should be is because they haven't a clue what it is!
Marmite - Love it or hate it I wouldn't want to share it! I brought the second biggest sized jar you can get in the UK with me when I moved here and happened to leave it on the side one day. My eldest (dog) hooked it off and ate it. Brat....

Yes, Simon has worked on it long and hard.

If Simon gets a monk on with me he hides it in my food to see if I notice and also if he wants more obvious revenge he feeds it to Piglet - she loves it...

In return, I make Jemima have a yoghurt bath...he hates that - so now we are at the quid pro quo stage of food fights....
