OT - Marmite
A very nice lady I know who lives in N.S. sent me a lovely package
today. Marmite!!! Holy crap, it has got to be the most foul tasting, gut wrenching, disgusting thing I ever tasted. I'd rather lick an old boot. No wonder you guys came to America - to get some decent food. Barf I think the husband might be able to use it to grease up his snow blower. I had to swallow a whole extra glass of red wine to get rid of the taste - woe is me!! :-)) Sharon (N.B.) |

It looks like motor oil and tastes worse (well you know what I mean). :-) My husband is like 'Mikey' - he'll eat anything ... but one taste of that was enough for him. He can't believe a human would eat that stuff. And you spread that on bread like peanut butter? Sharon (N.B.) |

One of my faves, but off the menu until the FDA says it's all clear. There's been a salmonella outbreak that's been traced to products made with peanut paste. So far they say jars of peanut butter off the shelf are fine, but I'm not sure I want to test that. L |

Besides, I'm the only one in the house that eats it. C I know the jarred stuff is supposed to be fine. I love it and my favorites is good, old fashioned, not the healthiest, Skippy Chunky. I also have a sealed package of Nutter Butter cookies. I emailed Nabisco and got back an answer the next morning stating they weren't involved in the recall at all and don't use any products from that company. She stated unequivocally that their products both here and in Canada were okay to eat but since I'm having a UTI for a change (I get them every so often) I figure it's best to wait with eating peanut butter.
