Saw it in Tesco's yesterday, anyone tried it? It is supposed to be a stronger flavour. Not for me then, I like Vegemite.

    I love Marmite, but having seen the salt content I've cut back a bit. I hope a stronger flavour doesn't just mean more salt.

    I tried it and quite liked it. It is stronger than the standard stuff, but it's also more expensive, so I didn't restock the cupboard with it when I finished it off.

    Marmite is vile. It used to be nicer, now it's too salty.

    Vegemite is miles nicer.

    My other half bought some and loves it, says it's much richer than the original, but not more salty.

    Personally, I still think it looks and tastes like sh*t !

    Please Freehub, do us a cookbook or at least a top-10 original recipes. Wasn't there about microwaved mars bars a while back?

    Does XO only come in boxes? I looked for it in Tesco today and could only find original.

    Marmite cheese is available in the cheese aisle at most supermarkets.
    And XO is fantastic!
    Can we fix it?
    Yes we can!
