Marmite Guinness

It wasn't until now, a few hours post St Patrick's Day, that I realised Marmite Guinness is a special edition, for the special occasion.

This stuff is genius. It is a more mellow, hoppy version of normal Marmite, thanks to Guinness yeast extract, replacing 30% of the bog-standard Marmite yeast extract. I reckon it could be used as a condiment in its own right, maybe a spoonful added to a stew - rather than simply a spread for toast. There are only 300,000 bottles made, so try to get your hands on it whilst it lasts.

We saw the marmite Guinness last week. Tempting, but not that tempting. You know the problem - it's the "love it/hate it" thing.

As promised, I called the marmite loveline to ask why Marmite Guinness does not have a vegetarian society approved mark on the packaging. They have confirmed that the product is definitely vegetarian and explained that the vegetarian mark was omitted due to space constraints on the packaging. Mr Newlywed will be pleased to know that he can still drink Guinness...

Mrs Newlywed you are a mensch(ess?) for finding out for us. I know that Mr Newlywed is mightily relieved as well. Also, thanks for dinner last night it was great.
