Marmite needs a licence?

[oggbashan]

Apparently Denmark has decided that you need a licence to sell Marmite.

It may only be a temporary glitch but will there be a rush of Marmite smugglers? With Europe's open borders, smuggling should be easy.

What next? Will you need to be a registered addict and get it on prescription from a chemist?

Or Speak-Easys serving Marmite soldiers?

There's a market for Marmite in Denmark?

Ban the stuff...they should burn it!!

Even Buckley's Mixture tastes better than Marmite, and Buckley's is the worst tasting cough liquid in the galaxy.

Have you ever tasted Marmite?

Where I live, marmite is a large pot for stewing things in. I think that's a far better idea than a yeast spread. Yeast should be used for leavening and fermentation, and nothing else. Defintely not as a spread!

Australians have Vegemite.

In the 1960s it was only sold in the Australia Shop in the basement of the South Australian building off The Strand in London. Then some entrepreneurs started selling it from under the counter in shops around Earls Court.

Now you can buy it in almost every supermarket, even ASDA, the UK version of Walmart. It's taking over the world (but probably illegal in Denmark).

Then the UK started importing Australian lager. Most of us wouldn't give a XXXX for the stuff, but again it's available everywhere.

Shouldn't there be regulations against Australian lager? British lager tastes just as bad so why import it from Australia? I think that some Australian lager is polluted with Vegemite. It's a conspiracy!

Yes, Og; they intentionally don't filter out the yeast corpses from the bottom of the ale barrel in an underhanded attempt to addict decent folks to "vegemite" and then have them buy it at their local depanneur.

Je declare: Marmite est pour le potpourri et le ragout seulement!

I'm sure that somewhere some micro-brewery in Australia or in the UK makes decent beer but I never ran across any. My favorite Seth Erfrican brew changed their recipe into undrinkability (weep, howl, sob) so now it's American or German, nothing else. (Well, if I'm in a Thai restaurant I'll go for Kirin but not otherwise.)

I have no proof at all, but I strongly suspect that the Vegemite people have got to the government of Denmark.

When I want extra vitamins I drink Guinness.
