Yum! You're so right - that's the way Marmite used to taste back in 1960-something. I can't quite shake the nasty suspicion that they may have found a vat of the stuff from back then, tucked away in a forgotten shed somewhere, and thought "Eeewwww!... no, hang on a moment..." *g*

Whatever - it's lush and going fast. More toast, me hearties!
