We've been getting some rather interesting things in the post these days from our friends in England. Two of which were these gorgeous little pots of limited edition champagne Marmite. One was smashed to bits by either the good people at Royal Mail or the louts at USPS. The broken one was from my ex-boyfriend and he assures me that the fractured "I love you" wasn't symbolic. The other was from Laura (she sent it in a box so it arrived intact) with a note on the top – "You're both gross. Laura". She's in the detester camp when it comes to Marmite, but I like that she saw past her hatred to send us this gooey goodness.
I LOVE marmite, i really really do, but I LOATHE the champagne marmite, it honestly tastes like vomit (even more so than Hershey's chocolate!!!)
(my six pennies!)

I have to agree with Rupert - Marmite is great and I loved the other limited addition made from Guinness; but this version I just can't stand. Just the smell is atrocious. I should have sold my jar on EBay; it came with a heart shaped box.

I have to agree with you – it's vile!
