That took a lot of strength, Ann. Congratulations. Accepting that you are a marmite-aholic, and stating it publicly, means you are in control! Keep up the good work.

Pot. Like the one on the label. The jar is presumably shaped to mimic it.
Marmite was originally sold in earthenware pots. Interesting though so presumably that's where it gets it's name from... hmm... there is no way it's originally French though!!! :eek: Found this definition: Récipient de terre ou de métal, à fond plat ou arrondi, parfois sur trois pieds, muni d'un couvercle et généralement d'anses, et dans lequel on fait bouillir de l'eau, cuire des aliments. |

It's more than a pot really... that's why I wasn't quite sure how to describe it... Google translate indeed says it's a pot but I always picture a "marmite" as a huge pan on an open fire with bubbling ingredients inside...

The Marmite spread itself was actually created by a German organic chemist. Says it all, really! |

Really? I thought it was invented in Burton-on-Trent where bitter was invented, and was a by-product of the brewing process. If there was German organic chemist knocking round there maybe he was a spy from Lowenbrau?
