Heeeeeere kitty, kitty, kitty! I got some nice eggs for youuuu~
Marmite? Well, I'm still pretty unsure as to what it is, so I found a helpful tutorial online. And I figured I ought to share these pearls of wisdom.
"Marmite is dark brown-colored savory spread made from the yeast that is a by-product of the brewing industry." Lovely, so when they clean out the kegs, the sludge at the bottom is merely repackaged and sold to Europeans at a profit. Lovely.
"Marmite may be stored at room temperature, even after the jar has been opened. Large jars will last months-- even years--without any spoilage. (Old marmite can turn hard and lose its gooey spreadability, though.)" Am I the only one who is more than slightly disurbed by the fact it can last YEARS having been OPENED? I mean, that's got to include something that can't be processed by bacteria (which consequently have been able to use just about every known chemical as a fuel source or nutrient). This means Marmite is, for lack of a better term, unnatural.
Finally, I leave you with this: "There is no feeling like the smugness you feel when you manage to scrape just enough Marmite from the jar for another piece of toast. Top tip (from James Kew): pour boiling water into a near-empty jar and drink the jar clean." I don't even think it requires any analysis on my part, I think it pretty adequately mocks itself.
*laughs* Marmite does last forever, the jar at my parent's house is probably only ever used when I come home so...
Wait, drinking it? Ok, I wouldn't go that far! Although I know that if there's an empty jar my mother will fill it with hot water and use it as an ingrediant to make gravy...
And now I need breakfast...mmmm... marmite on toast XP

Brits eat crap food.
