Well I don't mind if my Marmite is served internally or externally really.

I do recall a tale about how someone on his travels was raving about marmite's prophylactic properties against mosquito bites; the next day he found a Danish chap having helped himself to his marmite, spreading it on his ankles, obviously refusing to believe that anybody would actually eat the stuff!!

Something about the smell as it seeps out your pores, keeps them away apparently.


"Some suggest that the consumption of Marmite can ward off mosquitos[9], the reasoning being that the skin gives off a scent, unnoticeable to humans, but which mosquitoes find unappealing, or that the vitamin B content wards off the flying pests. British travellers to tropical locations sometimes take Marmite with them to eat during the trip, although it has been shown that the B vitamin complex does not repel mosquitoes.[10]" [wikipedia]

My dog loves marmite on toast - at weekends he get 4 slices in the morning as a treat. I love Marmite, so much so I could eat it with a spoon! My partner who is of Guyanese origin hates it, as did my ex who was foreign! So agree with CWALD - must be an English thing. Although my dog is French....

The Guinness Marmite is only sold by Waitrose (and thus Ocado). Its origin was accidental really. The yeast is supplied to the Unilever (the makers) by particular breweries and from particular beers. A while ago the usual breweries could not supply the required yeast so Unilever turned to Guinness yeast. It does make a difference so it was marketed as such. It is more runny and different flavour than the usual stuff but is lovely. It was only meant to be temporary but was continued due to demand.


The new version 'with champagne' is again a different flavour but is as firm as the usual stuff. I got mine from Sainsburys but I think it is widely available.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
