Will there be a shortage of Marmite

[JimMaxwellantheshippingforcast]

Marmite is a by product of brewing. If most breweries have stopped production does that mean I have to start buying in slightly larger quantities?

I can recommend these Marmite rice cakes. Next time I'm going shopping, I'm going to try Marmite cashew nuts.

Please everyone,tell me you don't buy Marmite - it's really expensive. Supermarkets own brand are much cheaper and exactly the same.

No they're not.

Marmite is one of those things you have to buy the brand

It really isn't.

Same way Vegemite doesn't taste the same.

Marmite is 🤮 anyway so feel free to take my share!

Flamingo, you can get Hendo's quite easily here. But we are near Sheffield.

I'm pleased to report there was plenty of marmite, plus the inferior tesco own brand stuff, on the shelf this afternoon. Breakfast for DS2 in secure for another month!
I also bought a jar of bovril. So my breakfast is secure.

I've volunteered at our local community supermarket starting tomorrow (putting together home delivery orders for vulnerable), all I can think of is checking the marmite shelf ......

Marmite has been hard to get hold of on and off for months. Marmite peanut butter thankfully seems OK.

Still struggling for baking powder. Bought some online for £5 yesterday!

I noticed marmite butter in M&S yesterday

Marmite butter? That’s just lazy 😁.

(But a good substitute, if we do run out of the jar / squeeze stuff.)

Tesco ok'd my on line Marmite order but said that the quantity could not be increased.
On receiving said order today it had been substituted with Marmite XO < extra taste >.
£1.50 to me but I'll have to see what it tastes like in the morning.

Tesco has empty shelves of marmite this week. I bought the last remaining jar of marmite peanut butter. It does not taste good.

I managed to get some in our tiny Sainsbury's yesterday. I also managed (at last) to get black peppercorns in a mill from M&S after months of trying every blummin' shop!

@maras2 it's very nice. It's a bit stronger than normal Marmite.
It's a good thing they didn't substitute for the own brand. That could have been a disaster

You're right jim
It's lovely.
Thank you.

Morrisons haven't had any for ages. Tesco online is out of stock and they've taken marmite crisps(which are delicious) off completely!
I have an own brand jar but it is definitely NOT the same.

It came back in stock on morrisons website yesterday. I added it to my basket,will see if it arrives today.

I added Marmite and Marmite mini cheeses to my Tesco order today

Yeast supplies restored

My marmite came from morrisons yesterday.

Yes I also read that carlsburg are sending their brewers yeast to Marmite. So panic over, for now

I got my Marmite and mini cheeses today

There was something on R4 last week about demand for Marmite. They'd decided to just produce the ordinary size jars rather than all the different sizes to maximise the production (or distribution). I got a 700g tub at the beginning of lock down and that was getting low so I ordered another whilst listening.

Anyone want to come round?
