I assume you are not a fan of Marmite. I am not a fan of it myself but have given away several jars of it in the past 'just for fun'.

Don't let it stop anyone donating though as this is primarily a fundraising mission

Sorry, but I already have my own

Not that I'm sure UK Marmite counts as the real thing

what is that? I think the UK stuff is original and I would argue the best, couldnt imagine anything tasting better.

Brought another kilo with me from the UK to replace the one that was running low!

I notice the sign now, "new zealand made", so you stuck with marmite rather than going for the vegemite choice of your favourite neighbours

But as I said, the british is the original

Marmite
Marmite was introduced to Australia and New Zealand by Sanitarium. Initially it was imported from the United Kingdom but shortly before World War II, we secured the secret recipe from the English and made the first Australian Marmite in our Cooranbong factory in 1944.

Since the 1970s, Sanitarium’s Christchurch factory has manufactured all the Marmite sold in the South Pacific.

If anyone likes the yukky stuff, I can ship it over to your goodselves at no extra cost....

Personally, I would imagine it is like eating your own earwax...
