A large-scale clean-up operation is under way after a tanker carrying more than 20 tonnes of yeast extract overturned on the M1. The lorry, which was believed to be carrying Marmite, crashed and spilt its contents onto the carriageway at about 22:15 GMT on Monday. Police closed the motorway in both directions between junctions 32 and 33 near Sheffield following the accident. The Highways Agency said it hoped the road would reopen at about 08:00 GMT. A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Police said the tanker overturned after being involved in a collision with a motor caravan. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-15933599 Reply to this message | Report message

marmite is created by throwing salt at yeast , the yeast commits suicide and disembowels itself creating the sticky goo.... Reply to this message | Report message

I know one of my old chemistry teachers worked in a marmite factory for a bit, and having done so vowed he'd never touch the stuff. I quite like it though. Reply to this message | Report message

...Have you tried the Asda equivalent? Not the same but not bad, and about half the price... No, but a quick search for 'yeast extract' on the site shows the Asda one is a fair bit cheaper. Another choice it brings up is Vegemite, so I guess that's similar. Reply to this message | Report message

The amount of Marmite anyone eats makes any saving by going own brand minimal when spread (haha) over a year. Reply to this message | Report message

...50% off a jar of marmite... The online saving, in pence per 100g, looked nearer 20 per cent. Still a substantial reduction. Vegemite is also a lot cheaper than Marmite. Reply to this message | Report message

Still, haven't bought it for a while - Mrs F writes the shopping list, and marmite is one of the items where she's been adding 'not Asda' recently. Reply to this message | Report message

When I was young my mum used to serve marmite and salad sandwiches for tea on a Sunday sometimes. As an experiment, I made myself one the other day for the first time in over 40 years - butter, marmite, spring onions, tomato, lettuce. It was actually really good, although Mrs C wouldn't go near it. Last edited by: Crankcase on Tue 29 Nov 11 at 16:29 Reply to this message | Report message

When my Uncle and Aunt were coming, and it was Very Special, we had canned salmon sandwiches. Very exotic. Not sure about jelly in a sandwich though. Last edited by: Crankcase on Tue 29 Nov 11 at 16:37 Reply to this message | Report message

Take a slice of bread and toast it on one side. On the other spread with marmite and pile on a good mature cheddar. Place under grill and enjoy! Pat Reply to this message | Report message

Dont grate your cheese, thinly sliced is best. Use a mandolin to slice it thinly. Once you have one of those you can julienne your carrots! Reply to this message | Report message

Marmite and tomato has the ring of a good combination about it. Not so sure about Marmite and cheese, although I've been known to sprinkle Worcester sauce on a rarebit. Reply to this message | Report message

SWMBO buys good fresh yeast, in nice little foil-wrapped squares, from Morrison's. About 95% of our bread is home baked and fresh yeast is better than the dried sort. Reply to this message | Report message

There is a new "brew" marmite called XO - a bit stronger and matured for longer. Just after WW2 my Mother used to make me a hot drink of Marmite in a mug of hot water - quite tasty if Bovril wasn't around - which it wasn't! Reply to this message | Report message

I had a bread maker and liked the bread etc. Too much effort (and there was little!). Move along. Mine went to the charity shop when we moved. Unless you make lots of bread all the time... cheaper to buy good bread IMO. Now what about Vegemite and Cheese? Not available in the UK shops. But available in Oz. And in some online shops.

It wouldn't be carrying Marmite; probably a load of brewers yeast from Tadcaster or suchlike going back to the factory at Burton-on-Trent. Used to do that job on agency years ago when Wincanton had the contract; absolute doddle. Reply to this message | Report message
