Never heard of kids taking Marmite/BovriL anymore..

[Fishypie]

Seems the days are gone, when our parents used to spread them on our bread, or stir them into a pLain bowL of porridge..younger parents just dont buy these stuffs anymore, do they ?..

i dont think angmo pai had anything to do with it. in the old days, there plenty of borvil adverts so even a teochew ah ma feed her grandchildren with it in those days.

Thank you Fishypie for starting this thread as I had been to embarrass to talk about Marmite thinking I'm the only odd one out. I always have Marmite in my refrigerator for my toasts and drinks and even cooking soup. Whenever I travel to Sri Lanka I will buy boxes of granules Marmite for instant hot drinks and I bring this to Jakarta with me too, here's my Marmite in Jakarta

Such coincidence bro Joetys..perhaps it's comfort food to you, Like mine's missing of the good oLd butter peanuts' spread whenever i am away..

if you find taking marmite to be 'ang mo', it is likely you are a recent first/second generation chinese immigrant who has not assimilated well into singapore.

Marmite is a healthy addition to one's diet especially if you are a vegetarian. As far as I know there is no preservatives or additives added to it.

There is even an FAQ by the fans of marmite
