An outrageous insult

I always thought that Marmite was British and yet throughout the article we say European. Duh. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 08:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Full-fat oven-ready Marmite Brexit?? "Es war ein sehr kluger deutscher Mann, der dieses feine Produkt erfunden hat!" But yes, Unilever is a British company. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:03, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well according to the article, Marmite was invented by a German and the distinctive jar is also German.

I know that according to Wikipedia the Germans invented everything, but this really is taking the biscuit. A Marmite biscuit, of course! 88.87.126.220 (talk) 14:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Savoury?

I have never seen or heard Marmite described as a savoury spread as defined here: "characteristic of broths and cooked meats" or even by Merriam-Webster definition. I'm not sure this is the correct adjective. Maineartists (talk) 19:03, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have you ever tried it? Genuine question. In my first year at secondary school I had a jar confiscated by the teacher because I was eating it by dipping my finger into the jar during his English lesson. I stole it back at the end of term. I cannot resist the savoury flavour to this day, about 55 years later. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 19:42, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's how its manufacturer describes it for example. GliderMaven (talk) 19:47, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Serving size?

The nutritional information section gives the serving size as 8 g. However, it's hard to know from that just how big such a serving is. It would be very helpful if somebody who knew could add a comment to the section telling us how much that is in terms of volume. Is it a teaspoon full, a tablespoon, or what? JDZeff (talk) 22:58, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I now have some Marmite, bought by mail-order as nobody local carries it. On the lable, it says that an 8 g serving is also one teaspoon, so I'll add that to the article. JDZeff (talk) 20:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry JDZ, I just removed it as unsourced. read my edsum and see what you think. - Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 20:19, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
