after use, it settles in the jar... and it never used to do that.


I am sure it's not due to global warming.


So if it's not due global-warming, what is the cause and what should I do?


This is what is should look like..and do..this is now impossible..

Has any one else noticed their Marmite behaving strangely?

Try storing it somewhere warmer so it spreads more easily :idunno:

Never noticed if Marmite settles or not after I open it.

when the jar is less full it does look a bit manky sometimes, yeah putting it in a warm place might help, but try not to spread too much of it on the toast because the high amount of salt will make you very thirsty. :idunno:

The point is, Marmite never used to find it's own level..one gouged out dollops of Marmite leaving deep impressions in it, and now..it settles leaving no trace of earlier consumptions...
I found this article on Marmite,

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A184097

I also noticed my Marmite is not made in the UK :angry:

I am sure it was made in Burton On Trent when I was a kid...

i understand now, but i've always known marmite to find its own level after use. all Marmite must be made to the same recipe i think.

Maybe Biggles could help us on this one... I am sure he must have consumed some, back in the 20's ;) However, I am refering to the the 1950-70's era, the period I spent living in England...

you're right, i just googled marmite changed recipe and found this: http://www.alekhayes.com/squeezy-marmite/


because it was now dripping off the knife rather than sticking nicely.

See!! Thank youAlien5 for showing patience with what at first seemed to be the insignificant rantings of a Marmite Lover, who today even finds himself posting in Rossco's, perpetual thread...


.now, I don't want to bring this subject back up, but could this be the latest attempt by the forbidden and exiled Bologaise Lovers' Group; to create a sort of "smokescreen," as they once more try to gain foot in the lounge or something more sinister?

Currently, sellers are asking as much as £7 for a 250g jar - a mark-up of 181per cent - while a gift package of six jars and a free can of Guinness is being offered for £59.99. :o
