Marmite Defence League
24th August
What is the best Marmite derivative commercially available?
The Marmite Defence League, which exists to defend Marmite as an essential food, is running a late summer poll to discover views on the proliferating number of Marmite derivatives now commercially available.
Traditionally there have been things like marmite flavour crisps, rice cakes, cashew nuts and twiglets. Occasionally there is also marmite chocolate.
However 2020 has seen a significant extension of commercially available marmite derivatives, the latest being marmite houmous (hummus).
The poll is open now and the result will be announced on Bank Holiday Monday
Where we stand on Marmite
Marmite is a natural product deriving from brewer’s yeast. It is historically a by-product of brewing
It was ‘invented’ by a German scientist Justus von Liebig
Originally Marmite was derived from the Bass brewery in Burton on Trent.
Marmite is salty but also has some health enhancing elements to it including vitamins.
Its recent marketing focuses on a ‘love it or hate it’ element to Marmite, and it is a ‘which side are you on’ food.
