Yep, that’s exactly what she does. I’m not sure where she finds it now when she does get it. It seems like they had it at one of the base commissaries at one time. I know she got a MEGA jar of it for my Marmite loving brother at an English store one time. It was huge. I think it cost about $20.

Haven’t had any in years.....

Mom used to make thick slabs of bread, toasted, buttered hot and a slight spread of Marmite - I’d eat two and want more.Great memories!

Amazon has it $27.51 for six 4.4 oz jars. A 600g tub is $32.00. What does it taste like?

Can anyone explain the flavor?

Also, if you buy Marmite in the US, will it be the English version or the NZ version? I’m guessing the English version, and if that’s the case are we missing out?

Oh, that makes sense. It says in the article that the NZ version has a different taste than the English. I wonder what the difference is?
